Bren­dan Loy lives in New Orleans and has been blog­ging Kat­rina since the begin­ning. His take on things is also dif­fer­ent from what you might have been hear­ing from other sources.

[Update] Chuck Taggart’s Looka! is another good place for New Orleans reporting.

Whole­sale gaso­line mar­kets jump thanks to Kat­rina and greed. Mostly greed.

Cof­fee is full of anti-oxidants, more than even fruits like cran­ber­ries, apples or toma­toes. Which doesn’t mean you don’t have to eat them, since they con­tain more than just anti-oxidants.
