Impotent and Helpless
That’s how I felt watching the plight of the Katrina survivors yesterday. I can hardly bear to watch the news anymore as they feature people who are not getting help. WHERE IS THE WATER? WHERE IS THE FOOD? Can’t someone airlift these people provisions? Helicopters are coming and going with people all day, can’t one bring in some relief for those already there?

Sheperd Smith is standing there talking about people collapsing around him from the heat and thirst and poor health and sanitation. He’s acting like he’s about to have a breakdown himself, literally pleading for help for these people. Hey Rupert Murdoch! Don’t you watch your own station? You’re a mega-gajillionaire, can’t you send these people some water? I know you’ve got a way to do it because you’re dropping in damned TV crews!
