We went to our local Walmart on Monday morning to pick up the last of William's school supplies. This was before the levees broke, and obviously before the true magnitude of the disaster was known. At that point in time, Walmart had already donated one million dollars to the Salvation Army, and they were collecting contributions in their store. Simultaneously, Bush was eating cake. The next day, as the levees broke, he was pretending to play guitar. Nero, Marie Antoinette .. we report, you decide.
Now, Walmart has stepped up with an additional $15 million in aid. Mini-stores will be set up in the affected areas to distribute food, formula, diapers, etc free of charge to those who have a "demonstrated need."
Glad there's some leadership somewhere.

I will not be state-side for some time, so will be doing more shopping at the Walmart store here in Canada.
