It’s really bumming me out that the process of overcoming a massive tragedy like Hurricane Katrina and all the associated challenges has so quickly deteriorated into the kind of heated partisan rhetoric that characterizes… well, just about everything these days. Democrats and Republicans alike, nearly everyone holding office right now just looks like a blustering moron to me.

All we can do is try to rise above it in our own little spheres of influence. I’m really grateful to and proud of my company, for the way our Community Service Committee has pulled together a very productive food/clothing/bedding/supplies drive, as well as our parent company, for doubling our personal monetary donations via its matching gifts program, making a corporate contribution to Habitat for Humanity‘s “Operation Home Delivery” program, and supporting local initiatives in its various branch locations.
