heidiThe White House lowers flags... possibly because they were lowering them for Rehnquist anyway.
This, like so much else, is absolutely the right thing to do, but they're at least three or four days behind the ball with it. I'm reading stories linked to by Americablog about how the White House was paralyzed by the legalese behind the chain of command, and that's something I hope Congress deals with in this session, because that, along with a national registry of survivors that's set up and consolidated and organized, and a standard procedure for mortgage relief, unemployment insurance payouts, and even medicare/food stamp/housing voucher distribution will help in the God forebid event of any future catastrophes.
