I shouldn't have thrown the Democrat epithet in there. I just think it's interesting that when it's NO with Katrina, or Charleston with Hugo, or Florida with any number of 'canes, it's a "news story". When it affects DC and NYC it's "history".

It's like "oh crazy NO, shouldn't have been built below sea level". Well, crazy Manhattan, shouldn't have been built 1o ft above sea level, with tunnels for added interest.
