Breathe......

As the state holds its collective breath, our governor is on Capitol Hill today to testify before a House Select Committee hearing on Hurricane Katrina. We hope she doesn't cry. We hope her chin doesn't start that infamous quivering. We hope people will understand that we need help to rebuild. We hope people in decision-making positions will begin to trust us. We hope our levees will be rebuilt (stronger) so people/businesses will come back and be safe. We hope, for hope, for so many people. We hope that the five suicides that occurred over Thanksgiving won't become more over Christmas and during the dark, dreary, chilly winter to come. We hope.

So, since everybody and their brother seems to have advice for our dear guv, here's mine.... Put on your big girl panties and deal with it!
