KATRINA, KATRINA, KATRINA
OK...SO THIS LEVEE BROKE IN THE FANTASTIC CITY OF NEW ORLEANS. WHY IS IT THE MEDIA KEEP REFERRING TO "KATRINA'S DESTSRUCTION" WHEN REPORTING ON THIS.
DO YOU REALISE THE LEVEE BROKE WELL AFTER THE STORM HAD LEFT THE AREA? ALSO THAT LOCAL STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS HAD RECEIVED MEMO'S WITH BOLD TYPE FACE FONT FROM THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER AND NOAA WEATHER CENTER THAT IF "KATRINA" COMES ASHORE AT THE LOCALE IT DID THAT THE LEVEE'S WOULD, FOR SURE, IN DEED, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT BREAK! BUT TO HEAR THESE TALKING HEADS TELL IT ONE GETS AN IMAGE OF A RAGING STORM TEARING THE LEVEE'S APART. NOT TO MENTION ALL THAT BULLSHIT ABOUT 10,000 PEOPLE WERE GOING TO BE FOUND DEAD AND RAPING WOMAN & CHILDREN IN THE SPORTS DOME WAS BEING REPORTED ALONG WITH THE WOES OF THAT ONE GUY I'LL NEVER FORGET WHO SCREAMED HE WAS STARVING TO DEATH!
YES, HURRICANE KATRINA DID CREATE CONDITIONS FOR THE LEVEE TO BREAK, BUT THE HURRICANE ITSELF DID NOT BREAK, TEAR DOWN, TEAR ASUNDER, ROARED THROUGH TEARING THE LEVEE'S DOWN OR HAVE ANY PART IN THE LEVEE BREAKING. THE RIVER THAT MAN DIVERTED FROM IT'S NATURAL COURSE DID, INDEED SWELL DUE TO THE STORM, AND FINALLY LOOSED ITSELF UPON THE GREAT CITY OF NEW ORLEANS. I KNOW THOSE JAZZMEN AND FOLKS WILL GET THAT TOWN RUNNING AGAIN! IT'S JUST ALL THIS BULLSHIT ABOUT RACISM, AND WHINING AND MEDIA MIS-INFORMATION (WHICH THE NEWS SHOULD BE CALLED NOW-A-DAYS) DRIVNG ME NUTS!
OH, I DO RECALL THE DAYS OF RESPONSIBLE, SERIOUS, NOT-SO-GLAMOROUS LOOKING FOLKS REPORTING NEWS AFTER THEY HAD THE FACTS!
I CAN'T WATCH THE NEWS MUCH NOW-A-DAYS. YOU EVER NOTICE THE NEWSPERSON ALWAYS, SOMEWHERE IN SOME NOT NEWS EVENT OR MAYBE EVEN A NEWS EVENT ALWAYS ENDS UP EITHER ASKING A QUESTION ABOUT WHAT THEY JUST SAID OR MAKING A STATEMENT TO THE EFFECT {SIC} "THIS RAISES QUESTIONS WE'LL GET TO AT ANOTHER TIME?"
QUESTIONS FROM THE NEWS GUYS....I LOVE IT!!
