There is so much to say about what’s been happening in the Gulf Coast and New Orleans regarding Hurricane Katrina, the levees breaking, and the government’s response. And I have my own personal feelings of loss in the face of such a huge tragedy.
But for the love of God, you must watch this video. Keith Olbermann of MSNBC calls it like it is.
I’m disgusted, horrified, saddened, heartbroken. I love that part of the deep south, lived in Baton Rouge for 2 great years, and became an adult there. It is unfathomable that no one knew this could happen. Unfathomable – because we, a bunch of librarians who know nothing of structural engineering, talked about it all the time.
Thanks for the link. I can always count on you to provide me with a person on the cutting edge, able to say what I am thinking and feeling, with all of the fervor I think I am communicating.
Keith O. had another terrific editorial statement (?) either one or two nights after that too. Admittedly, never watched his show before all this, but now I look for it.
