More Katrina

Why isn't Aaron Brown or Tavis Smiley mentioned as possible Peter Jennings replacements? I mean Katie Couric? Couric can deliver our evening news but some whip-smart like Smiley can't? Of course he can. But he's a nigger. And as much as I like change, I TOTALLY understand a network not wanting to put a black face in front of their millions of home viewers...makes perfect business sense. We can;t expect NBC, ABC or CBS to supercede time or influence change. That's just not what they do.

But why not Aaron Brown? Is he too left? Too old? Too ugly? Probably all three. But Ted Koppel was too. Anyways, I've adopted Brown into my family.

I bring this up, because I'm watching him right now and that thought popped in my head. Meanwhile, an absolutely HORRIFYING story is being told during this segment.

Apparently (and forgive me if this is old news), FEMA was sending away medical helpers if they werent FEMA sanctioned, because they were scared of possible insurance problems. As scary as that sounds. I'm gonna hit you with this horror story: FEMA was putting living human beings in the morgue. They called these rooms, Expectancy Rooms, which were basically sections of the Katrina morgues that hosted living humans that had been deemed lost causes.

This story gets more sordid day by day. And its sad, because as Nola gets more and more habitable and the news should get much lighter and hopeful, these debauched stories keep getting unearthed.

I think this week's Newsweek headline is past appropriate.

Saga continues yall...
