Awesome piece from the LA Times: calendarlive.com: A warning sent but left unheeded -- if you read only one hurricane-related column, let it be this one, as it underlines the greatest tragedy of the last week: we saw it coming.

Politics may have failed the people of New Orleans. Politicians certainly failed them. They may have failed themselves by not demanding better. But their newspaper and other important segments of the American press did not fail them.

I was out today, and grabbed a magazine while waiting for an oil change to get done, and saw another article similar in theme. Fortunately, I found it online, so can share.
