There is a five year old in the library singing the two lines of the Scooby-Doo theme that he remembers over and over and over and over and.... well you get the point.
Meanwhile via First Draft we find the December 2007 Journal of American History is Federal Flood centric. At least now there is something to read this weekend.
Update: Well so far the first article I've read in the JAH is already taking the "Stupid people shouldn't live there" line. But I'm so deeply tired of combating that kind of condescension by this point I'm just going to let it lie.
Instead I'll point you to this interactive map which accompanies the online edition. Who knew that Gallier Hall was in Marigny? Or that City Park was part of St Bernard Parish? The things you learn from professional historians!
