This is why I do not like celebrities... deals with the hurricane

694spdRT: I know it's kinda stupid how the news works. I don't suppose they really have time for a pause in between death and destruction and the dog show. Tourism and gambling both have many pros and cons but that's a debate for another day. I'm not worried about the businesses because I know they have insurance. The employees and all the supporting people/industries probably don't have insurance for lost income though.

I agree the employees will be hit the hardest. It really is unfortunate and the problems down there are just beginning. My hometown was leveled by a tornado in 1984 that killed seven people in a town of 500. 20 years later the town still is haunted by that day. For all those in the path of Katrina it will likely take years to recover after the cleanup. The lost casino jobs and its trickle down effect are just the tip of the iceberg.

On a side note I think tourism is a good thing and enjoy being a tourist myself. Gambling precious Charger money away at a casino is not really my thing though.  The stock market has been hard enough on me the last few years.
