On display for all to see is the difference between Democrat and Republican thinking. Dems did nothing 3 years ago, despite warnings and Gov Blanco then blamed Bush. Gov Jindal has done plenty. Of course, if the people will listen is another story.

With Tropical Storm Gustav swirling near Cuba and likely to enter the Gulf of Mexico as a hurricane this weekend, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said an evacuation could begin as early as Friday -- three years to the day after Katrina inundated New Orleans.

Jindal said he had activated the state's catastrophic action team and could declare a state of emergency as early as Thursday. He also put the Louisiana National Guard on alert.

"We all need to be prepared and ready to respond, from the citizen level and at every level of government," Jindal said.

Just an observation.
