Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
And miss it each night and day
I know I'm not wrong, the feeling's getting stronger
The longer I stay away
Yup, I've fallen into posting song lyrics.
Later: CNN is playing Randy Newman's "Louisana 1927" over their hurricane video montage.
Fox is playing a cover of the same song over its video montage, but misidentified it as the Randy Newman version.
It's so saccharine I want to punch someone in the face. Of course, I kind of want to punch someone in the face pretty much all the time right now.

In the high and dry French Quarter, 48-year-old Jack Jones said he would resist if authorities tried to force him out of the home where he has lived since the 1970s.
While the streets were strewn with garbage, rotting food and downed power lines, Jones kept his block pristine, sweeping daily, spraying for mosquitoes and even pouring bleach down drains to kill germs.
Jones said the sick, the elderly and people who lack supplies should be evacuated-- but not folks like him. He has 15 cases of drinking water, a generator, canned ravioli, wine, coffee and three cartons of Marlboros.
"I've got everything I need," he said. "I just want to be left alone."
This guy's my man.
