I have been waiting for the same sort of attention on texas that NO had,  but 
it
is not in sight. Houston was largest relief provider to NO of any major  city 
during
their crisis, Houston took in the hightest number of refugees and paid to  
expand
their schools, etc. No word of support on even a token scale from New  Orleans
though when the Houston area got hit. No whoopi Goldberg outrage over the 
delay in Fema response. No accusations of racism from Spike Lee and a  herd
of hollywood types.

One of the more tongue-in-cheek radio talk shows was playing in  the shop 
yesterday and the host was interviewing a cronie from  Houston.

"I don't see this victim mentality from the people of Texas as  we saw from 
NO."
"That's right.  But you know the thing that  impresses me the most during 
this 
emergency is the way the liberal world  has rallied around the folks of 
Galveston and Texas and organized that  benefit concert ...."
"I believe you are confusing that with Katrina,  that's what they did for the 
people of NO but no one has done that for  Texas."
"Oh, well, but we did have Sean Penn there in that boat  ......"
"No that was Katrina too."
"But wasn't there that famous liberal  ...."
"No that was katriana, not Texas."
"Well, they must have done  something ..."
"Nothing."
"Oh."
