Hijab is an Arabic word literally meaning ‘cover’ or ‘barrier’. When applied to the mode of women's dress it is popularly understood to refer to the cloth used to cover the neck, hair, shoulders and upper chest. It does not refer to the full face covering worn by some women. 2. I was one of these women. A colleague and friend from an interstate university emailed me a piece of writing she had submitted to the newspaper unaware that I had also done so. The similarity of the arguments we made was remarkable. 1. Baton Rouge Mayor Melvin L. “Kip” Holden stated “They promised us basically unlimited resources” (Lemoine 2005 Laplante, James. 2005. Mayor: BR needs ignored. The Advocate, : 1A 12 Oct. [Google Scholar]) during the visit, and said, later “All we're getting is lip service and no action” (Laplante 2005 ‘Katrina Destroys New Orleans Days Before Southern Decadence’ (2005) press release, Repent America, 31 Aug., [Online] Available at: http://www.repentamerica.com/pr_hurricanekatrina.html (12 Oct. 2005). [Google Scholar]). 2. The numbers of shelters varied. An earlier document, “sheltersupdated0918 Ripperton, Lisa. 2002–05. The Baldwin project: the good shepherd. [Online] Available at: http://www.mainlesson.com/display.php?author=bailey&book=hour&story=shepherd (10 Oct. 2005) [Google Scholar],” included more Protestant churches as well as Catholic churches, two Islamic centers, hospitals, and Veterans of Foreign War Posts. Just prior to Bush's visit, Louisiana State University closed its massive shelters at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center and Carl Maddox Field House so that classes could resume and accept displaced students. See http://katrina.louisiana.gov/shelters.htm (last accessed October 4 2005) 3. On October 4, 2005, former president Bill Clinton spent the day at the River Center shelter where he “got an earful” as he listened to residents' “accounts of evacuations, inept bureaucrats and life without privacy or clean clothes” (Simpson 2005 Sheltersupdated107.xls (2005) [Online] Available at: http://katrina.louisiana.gov/shelters.htm (10 Oct. 2005). [Google Scholar]). Televised coverage on WBRZ-2 featured footage from the town meeting in which residents described problems and Clinton responded, while an aide took notes. The Associated Press web site offered two photos of Clinton praying with shelter residents. An eye witness and volunteer, Alfred Babbitt, confirms that Clinton stayed much longer than scheduled and spent considerable time shaking hands, autographing shirts or pieces of paper, and talking with evacuees. The Advocate ran 233 words by a WBRZ reporter (Troxler 2005 Traditio (1994–2005) ‘Holy cards: Our Lord as Pastor Bonus (good shepherd)’, [Online] Available at: http://www.traditio.com/holycard/pastor.jpg (10 Oct. 2005). [Google Scholar]). 4. Of the rest, one focused on Blanco, one on criticism of Bush's handling of the emergency, and five on his visit to the OEP (Office of Emergency Preparedness). 5. See http://katrina.louisiana.gov/shelters.html/for the documents shelters updated 0918. xls and shelters updated 107. xls. 6. I observed them at River Center and the Louisiana State University Agricultural Center's animal shelter. At the Ag Center, I saw a yellow mini-van from Ohio with the same slogan. Alfred Babbitt, who volunteered at the LSU Field House, saw similarly clad Scientologists there. For Scientology's position, see http://www.volunteerministers.org/eng/news/katrina/092305.html. (Last accessed October 6 2005). 7. The article does not address the obvious contradiction of staffers shooing a reporter away versus Millhollon getting the story and Dennis shooting the picture. Apparently, staffers tried to keep private the precise words exchanged by Bush and Eugene while still allowing the fact of that exchange to become public.
