| A change gon' come |
One of the changes Louisiana will face in the coming years: an altered political landscape; including the probable loss of a Congressional seat, and likely gains statewide for the GOP. There you have it. Meanwhile, while the media has mostly moved on, the death toll from Katrina now stands at more than 1,200 people, including 964 in Louisiana -- a modern disaster on par with the sinking of the Titanic (1,500), the Johnstown floods (2,200), not to mention deaths in the Iraq war (1,900 soldiers and untold civilians) and 9/11 (2,000). It's not America's worst natural disaster: that would probably be the Galveston hurricane of 1900 (8,000-12,000), but it's one that shouldn't soon be forgotten.
