Now maybe they did ask these people where they got the stuff, and it doesn't much matter at this point, everything may as well be eaten before it goes bad....but it does make the press look like assholes.

Racism is deeply entwined in this disaster. If it had been a town of mostly affluent white people instead of mostly poor black, then their engineering budget would have been kept sufficient to repair and maintain the levees BEFORE disaster struck. Back in 2003, the feds cut New Orleans' requested budget to only 1/5 what they needed. And it wasn't restored after last year's Florida hurricane crises.
I cannot express how angry I am, and it doesn't matter how angry I am. I am alive and my house is intact. I hardly know what to do with myself. I feel so much pain on behalf of the people who were killed and those who've survived.
