Another survivor found three weeks later
Tucked away at the bottom of a yahoo article:

The process of recovering bodies and searching for survivors continued Tuesday. In one house in the Mid-City neighborhood, officials found both.

Rescue workers said John and Leola Lyons, both 72, stayed together through Katrina's howling winds and floods that filled their one-story house with 18 inches of water. Even after she died, he stayed.

Federal agents finally broke down the door and found John Lyons and his wife's remains, three weeks and a day after the storm.

1. A 72-year-old man
with the decaying corpse of his wife...could be anybody's Paw-Paw or Gramma. Could have been my Grandmother. This is the stuff of our worst nightmares.

And it's a freaking FOOTNOTE in Bush's America.

2. And conservatives
blame the victims for STAYING. Old and infirm, with nowhere to go. . . You have to be EVIL to be conservative, imo.
