Katrina RELIEF

Like everyone else, I am heartsick about the devastation in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.

First, give money. Glenn Reynolds at INSTAPUNDIT has a list of relief organizations, headed up of course by the American Red Cross (the website, www.redcross.org, is pretty much swamped right now).

I'm getting a lot of e-mail traffic about the looting in New Orleans. There is a difference between taking food and water for one's family and what is happening in New Orleans. As Jonah Goldberg at the National Review notes, looters need to be dealt with "off the camera." With a bullet.
