Patriotic Duty: In 2001, we were already down the path of an economic downturn. Then 9/11 happened, with our financial might the center target, and our economy took another significant hit. President Bush called on Americans to go to the mall and spend, so that we might soften the blow of the recession.

Now, post-Katrina, New Orleans needs help. I'd like to see Bush call on Americans to take a pilgrimage to the Big Easy for the annual Mardi Gras celebration. New Orleans needs our dollars. And it's up to all of us to go down there, get drunk, and earn some plastic beads.

If you've gone before, then you know how important it is to keep the tradition alive. And if you've never been, you're missing out. And now you have the best excuse ever to participate in the debauchery. Your country needs you.
