Watcher's Council best posts week ending September 8

The Watcher's Council selected these best posts from among those nominated for the week ending September 8.

Right Wing Nut House's exhaustive Katrina: Response Timeline took the brass ring. You won't find anything this comprehensive in Time or Newsweek. Runner up: The Glittering Eye's fine Learning from History: the Relief and Rebuilding of New Orleans. In what important ways is the Katrina disaster different from the great Chicago fire, the Galveston hurricane of 1900 and the San Francisco earthquake of 1906?

Best non-Council post, by a whisker: 10 Things I learned From Hurricane Katrina by Varifrank. Got my vote. A tie for second place (actually, a three-way tie, broken by Watcher, for first): Tom Ridge's Duct Tape at Cold Fury and With Apologies To Monty Python at PooterGeek.
