I’m currently in New Orleans, working with disaster survivors and I’ve been continuously touched by the sentiment I’ve been hearing from people here about Hurricane Sandy.

I don’t know, I thought he was saying I’m “been there”, which is what you’ll be in a few years.

“I’m been there”…now I know why the Latinos were making fun of Bloomberg’s Spanish.

This is great, and without being cynical, are the two disasters really comparable? I heard last night that the NBA was donating 1 million to the red cross for relief efforts. It just strikes me as almost mean. It’s like POWs sending messages to people being held in jail over night. Still I hope all my friends and family there are safe and out of harms way.

As Bill Maher pointed out last night, at least THIS time it is CORRECT to say, “Brownie, you’re doing a heckuva job!” The Obama Administration knows how to respond to a crisis.

I’m waiting for busloads of NOLA teens and college students to arrive in Long Island an the NJ suburbs to camp out in synagogues, listen to survivor-leaders give culturally appropriate context, and then spend five days doing physical labor to help local communities.
I mean… why should NOLA always be exploited in this way? Time for us in the Northeast to be gawked at and used as an educational backdrop for outsiders engaged in feel-good tourism and churchy bonding trips.

I got the original in my e-mail, and I don’t think it sounded mean. It is true that we are getting far more, far faster than folks in the Katrina disaster.

Retracting because it sounded mean and I don’t want to be mean.

Does that make Long Island like St. Bernard and Plaquemines Parishes?

I guess NJ is like Alabama and Mississippi, since no one seems to be sending us messages. :-(
