If you're not feeling sufficiently upset, have a peek at this pro-life "news" site which suggests Katrina is a punishment for Mardi Gras and voodoo. There's no explanation from the pro-lifers of why the Almighty would create a natural disaster to which children are especially vulnerable. (I particularly object to my name being taken in vain.)

I mentioned this to a friend of mine on the weekend. Back in '94 (?), when the fires were heading down through the National Parks towards Sydney, he was skiing in Colorado. On the ski lift he encountered a lovely woman who proceeded to tell him that the fires were God's punishment for the Mardi Gras.

(He wasn't sure what surprised him more, her coming out with that or that she was American and knew that there were fires in Sydney.)

But yeah, short version: obviously the Evangelical version of God hates Mardi Gras. It's probably the costuming.
