You remember the first time you see one that ain't zero

Blogger, journalist, reporter, campaigner extraordinaire and all around great guy Tim Tagaris is in New Orleans to report on Karen Carter's run against Bill Jefferson for My DD.

Yesterday, we (Maitri, Adrastos, Oyster, and I) took him to Liuzza's and then the 9th ward.

Check out his posts at MyDD, and below are a series Tim did with me, Maitri, and Adrastos talking about the X, the levees, and the city.

Jeez, I leave town for 3 days and I miss another carpetblogger extravaganza. Sounds like he's a good egg, at least.

Thanks for the video, Ashley, and you're right about those not zeros sticking with you, right along with the little roof holes. Good that Tim found you guys.

Hey, thanks for the good vboartiins. Keep them coming. My brother hasn't called which I'm hoping means that all of his friends are alright. I was over at a friend's last night for pre-Thanksgiving food and drink, so that kept my mind off the whole tragedy for a while. And then I came home and cried a bit on D's shoulders. I'm not a Hindu fanatic or an overly patriotic/territorial person, but this is just too much for someone of Indian heritage to bear. And I have no idea what India can do from here but conduct all-out war, which has never ever solved a damned thing.Will pop over some time this weekend for some card play or good, ol'-fashioned hanging out with the kittems.
