Some stuff on the web I found of interest:

Harry Shearer: The Pulitzer for Getting Katrina Right is Yet to be Awarded
New edition of Frommer's Guide on New Orleans
Driftglass on the Democratic primary fight excerpt:
"God knows after eight years of Dubya and five years of Iraq no one should have to explain this to Senator Clinton, but the first test of real leadership is not just how well you fight the necessary and unavoidable battles, but how well you keep us the Hell out of stupid, unnecessary conflicts in the first place ... how much clearer does it have to be that the worst possible trait to have in a leader is a willingness – an eagerness! -- to fudge facts, gin up divisive brawls out of thin air and lob bombs to advance their personal political agendas and fortunes."
