More post-Katrina updates

A 28-foot trailer costs $75,000 a year and shakes and rattles when the wind blows. A hurricane-proof pre-fab cottage costs $60,000 a year and can be converted into a full-size house. It goes without saying which one FEMA is paying for people to live in--those lucky enough to get one, that is.


Presumably because of a stupid Web rumor, the Attorney General of Louisiana is now opening an inquiry into the Katrina spending of the Humane Society of the United States.


In better news, a group of students from Madison College in Clinton, New York have cleaned up the White Kitchen Preserve in St. Tammany Parish, and now the bald eagles and their nests are again in full view.


Another student, this one from Armstrong Atlantic State University in Savannah, found $30,000 in the wall of a house she was gutting in Arabi, Louisiana. The money was given to the owner of the house, who believes it must have belonged to her father.


40 undocumented immigrants, in New Orleans to do post-hurricane work, were arrested Friday by federal agents. At least a dozen had violent criminal backgrounds, according to federal agents.


And finally, clergy from more than a hundred cities are calling on Congress to stop their bickering about the post-Katrina budget and get some money to evacuated citizens who are trying to return to New Orleans.
