Update #2: I originally found the links below through
AnimaMundi, but forgot to credit Marco with an acknowledgement. (I clicked the Hullabaloo post he linked to, but got interrupted and read it many hours later and forgot how I'd initially found it.) Apologies to Marco for the mistake, and thanks to him for commenting, because it reminded me where I'd seen it first.

dday wrote a post at Hullabaloo titled
"Let's talk about Katrina". I agree with the main point of the post, which is to inject a frank discussion of "Katrina" issues (read: poverty) into the Presidential campaign debate.
Most interestingly, though, is the award-winning documentary which dday references:
"Trouble the Water". Looks pretty
good.

Update: We Could Be Famous has more.

I read it too via Suspect Device. Both candidates are terrified of bringing this into the debate, each for their own reasons. The film looks good though. It's being released at the right time.
Like I said, you are forgiven as long as we share some fried ersters when I come to visit. You either have too much time on your hands or you blog with a passion only equaled by Ashley. I don't know which, but I stand in humble awe of your tenacity. You are New Orleans.
