Two women protested outside the morgue Friday, complaining that authorities wouldn't tell them anything about their mother, Clementine Eleby. They said she died after being evacuated from east New Orleans to the convention center after the storm.

"We have been patient. Now it's time for answers," said Earline Eleby. "If they can't do the job, they should send for someone else."

1. Rose Siding, they will never find all the bodies.

There is no telling how many bodies were swept away and will never be found, people who are missing and no one will ever know where they went.

One of the darkest comics I have done in the Neil Lisst comic was 09-06-05 here

3. Bodies STILL being found? Rate it up

One or TWO bodies are still being found by their relatives as they return home??
The horror is how this is being mentioned almost as a side note...

Are these families getting any counseling after something so traumatic?
