Angry La. residents, finally fed up completely, are now calling for Gov. Blanco's recall.
I have included highlight stories linked below.

That would totally suck having your house bulldozed even if it that was going to be it's fate anyways.
Sounds like parts of La. are a mess, maybe the recall is something that's needed
Not only is it needed, it should be required. Why should the federal government invest in the reconstruction effort if we fail to clean up from the top down? Now is the chance for Louisianians to prove that they can actually think a sober thought.
