Gustav
New Orleans Residents Can't Go Home Yet
Hurricane Gustav has cleared out of New Orleans, but officials there are urging people not to return home just yet. Over 1 million households in Louisiana are without power including 300,000 homes in the New Orleans area, and debris and downed power lines in the streets mean many areas are still unsafe.

The DNC ended with a bang last week. After a week of festivities, including concerts by Kanye West, the Black Eyed Peas, N.E.R.D, and Fall Out Boy, Senator Obama spoke to an audience of 84,000 at Denver’s Mile High Stadium. The week was highlighted in speeches by President Bill Clinton, Senator Hillary Clinton, and Vice Presidential nominee Joe Biden, all in the efforts to unite the Democratic party, resulting in Obama’s approval ratings rising in the polls.
