I am wading through email. I have several emails from people who have no idea Baton Rouge is a mess, no idea Gustav hit us between the eyes, and these are not unplugged people. They are shocked when I reply, sorry, can't do that for you at present, can't get much of anywhere since we are in the midst of a major crisis.
No idea most of Louisiana is a disaster area; no idea. No idea because nobody is covering this. It's all, "New Orleans is okay, hunky dory, let's talk about Palin and the fall TV line-up." Hello, biggest disaster in the history of BR, which has been through, oh, the Civil War? And is the state capital, the largest city in LA, a major port, industrial, petrochemical center with a major research university? I guess if we played football this weekend someone would come down here and report that. I love and honor my NO neighbors, but why is Gustav a story there when it hit HERE?
I need to rein this in but the idea that LSU is back on Monday is just preposterous to contemplate right now. I'll be there if the frigging interstate which has the bridge for me to get to campus is open (today they closed it several times) and if I can get enough gas and have not been bitten to death by god knows what, but I can't see more than a tenth of the students making it in. Are our administrators not watching the local news? They should read the student paper.
Nuff said. Still no power.
Addendum: This is what I mean.
