Jesus Christ, now what?


All right, what the hell else can happen now?

Fires burn along river; thousands wait to leave

While thousands of people waited to be evacuated from the squalor of flood-stricken New Orleans, two major fires raged along the waterfront on Saturday.

Without water, firefighters were helpless. They were forced to abandon efforts to fight a blaze that threatened to consume an upscale riverfront mall, where looters had been seen earlier.

What next? A plague of locusts?
