Post-Katrina Images on Google Maps
breadiu writes " Satellite imagery of New Orleans taken on Wednesday, August 31st is now available on Google Maps. Enter 'New Orleans' in the search field at the top of the page, or drag and zoom the map to the area. A red 'Katrina' button will appear at the top right of the map, next to the existing map buttons. Older images for the area are still available too - click the "Satellite" button to switch to those."
Top Secret. I could tell you but I would have to kill you.
I see mislead people on the Internet complaining about how global warming, but last time I checked out that theory it turned out that the number of hurricanes is not 100% directly related to global warming. The other day I heard a smart scientist from a credible and well founded institute present reasonable evidence against the global warming scam by using high quality PowerPoint slides. And those mad scientist that belive that there is a connection are the same people that refuse to see all the corporate benefits of cheap oil. Especially to the Gulf Regions and the private industry. Without oil in the Gulf Regions New Orleans would have been nothing today. Oil fuels the economy in the area, most people live in a sea of opportunities, the wetlands are thriving with new ecosystems that keep growing and even black gay liberals can get a job in the Mardi Gras festival.
The Bush administration is taking a lot of heat this week from leftist journalists that refuse to see how the Presidents action is strengthening the region through increased oil prices and new fertilizers made of dead niggers. Most of the companies in the Gulf earn good money these days as the American economy keeps on moving. The President has made some tough choices in order to increase the wealth of this country. And as we all know, it works great compared to the losers in Europe. The privatization and minimization of our ineffective government is necessary if we want to keep our vibrant economy. I notice how some people keeps ranting about the decision to (de facto) include FEMA into DHS. These people are doing their country a disservice by intentionally ignoring the good intentions behind the reformation. As outlined in the Republican convention last year we know that the threat from terrorists is much more urgent than the risk of a hurricane. Centrally planed bureaucratized rescue efforts are also much less effective compared to smaller faith based organizations. While the incapable government is stumbling smaller organization such as Operation Blessing are thriving even in chaos. Additionally we can now see how the Presidents strategy of letting the market deal with the disaster is actually helping the economy and the heroic man. Many businesses will get contracts in the rebuilding process, something that will increase the economic output of the region and create new wealth. We can also see how free enterprises can exploit problems in the area and turn the into gold mines that automagically benefits the poor and huddled masses in the region. This is the famous trickle down economy at work folks.
When victims in a moment of anger express their grief about how the government handled the evacuation remember that these people had the chance to leave for several days. By looking at how New Orleans developed after the organized official evacuation we can see that many of them where either in a persistent vegetative state, to high to think rationally or they where thinking about how they could exploit the situation. These hoodlums and ragheads are destroying the city and the only thing the federal government should be involved in is putting them down for good by using the Army so small business owners can rebuild our infrastructure. Looters that break into private property for food and medicine ought to be shot with the .50. Why should the federal government waste limited resources on helping these people that contribute nothing to the Electoral College and the Economy overall? The federal government did

It's a shame that Google AdWords(TM) can't respond to a crisis as fast as George W. I really don't fancy a stay in the Holiday Inn Downtown at the moment, thank you very much...
Cool; I got here when I googled slashdot.
It's a beta.

Great, they will move to California just in time for our next big earthquake. Where do they plan to go after that, Colorado for the blizzards? Another coastal city for the tsunamis?
