1448 The next group of looters

will be the lawyers descending on New Orleans. They probably won't be representing the poor, but will rush in to "help" the upper range income folks who lost everything, but still have assets. Yes, they'll make a luke-warm effort to sue the President, but I think they'll go after private companies with deep pockets that didn't provide enough security and an employee was killed, or which released toxic fumes when things exploded and someone got sick. They'll even try to sue the clean up companies a year from now when mold grows. Yes, I see them on the horizon now, brief cases loaded, text messaging their offices, sending faxes, a little spittle in the corner of their mouths.
