WOW! This is not far north of where I live. I'm dying to know who
she was. Very unusual for a woman to go postal. I'm sure Mikey and

in Iraq, and I suppose that?s the price we pay.

Nobody locally is happy that the levees can?t be finished, and we are doing everything we can to make the case that this is a security issue for us.
