An anonymous poster gives us this from the Post and this conservative site's timeline. The Post article supposed shows the governor of Louisiana has not requested federal assistance, but I didn't see anything like that as I scanned. I stand by my earlier critiques of the timeline: it doesn't cover a critical period of time in detail, and uses language which make the veracity of a few of its assertions somewhat questionable.

MosBen posted a link to Josh Marshall's take on things.

Busy day tomorrow, but the plan is to blog outlines of a couple papers I'd like to start writing soon.
