I don’t know, too many pictures of real jobs being done by real people might give people the feeling that there is no pony if they vote Repub.

I’m sweating and watching Dirty Jobs. Nice to see people who actually work for a living on the TeeVee.

Actually CNN and MSNBC have been unreachable most of tonight. I assume it’s the Kennedy funeral.

I had a couple of great aunts that people tended to avoid because no one ever saw them, except at funerals. The media seems to be the same way. Give them a crowd of grievers and it’s 24-7 coverage. What’s really amazing is that, given the place they all seem to think Teddy had in the government, I don’t remember the last time they ran a clip or interview with him.

Where’d the news go?

CK, I’m on the Gulf Coast 200 miles east of NOLA. I never forgot, and we are still dealing with problems from Ivan in 2004 because of FEMA and the response, which were complicated when Dennis came in.

The Mississippi and Alabama coasts still have open wounds from Katrina.

The big difference is that it wasn’t the hurricane, it was the levee system that flooded New Orleans. Studies have shown that there was almost no overtopping, the levees were high enough, they just weren’t designed or built properly to withstand a Category 3 hurricane.
