Maybe write about how the banks and credit card companies rewrote the consumer bankruptcy laws to exclude flooding as an "excuse" for filing bankruptcy right before New Orleans flooded. Then write about how the government had to debase the value of the currency to keep those banks afloat after the greedy banks made a bunch of dumb investments.

Actually that might be in poor taste.

more electrons
a faster bit rate
and you lead me

an enemy calls as a friend
and upon reciprication
crying makes it end
