Katrina: Terms that need to be applied since we are still talking about it

Depraved Indifference: I am borrowing this from the legal profession. I believe the initial lack of response and subsequent blame game and idiotic comments show a depraved indifference on the part of certain local, state, and federal officials with regards to the city and the victims.
