This is a bit of a repetitive rant but I notice it all the time. Many people act like Katrina only happened to New Orleans and Rita never even occurred. I went watch An Inconvenient Truth tonight. The logo of the movie is pretty cool, it’s a factory emitting smoke in the shape of a hurricane. The movie, of course, talks about global warming and makes numerous mentions about hurricanes (though most of it focuses on the polar ice caps).

Many of the hurricanes leading up to Katrina were mentioned and after the 5 minute or so segment that focused on the people of New Orleans, I expected Gore to state what would be so helpful to his argument — two category 5 hurricanes hit the gulf within one month. But that would have required a mention of Rita and, apparently, people go out of their way to avoid mentioning her. It just drives me plum crazy. Plum!
