New Orleans now is abortion free

* a journo on cbs news just reached for the worst analogy ever: "in some ways, this hurricane recovery is like a full course meal - its gonna take a while"

* how funny was blinky's 'briefing' when he arrived in Mobile yesterday morning - foxnews was all fawning - but cnn (schneider) slammed him for it - saying stuff like: 'we dont need to see the president getting briefed - couldnt he have got the briefing while he was on the plane??? he needs to get to work. - and of course, didja see him get off AF1 with his sleeves already rolled up?'

* "American Family Association: “New Orleans now is abortion free. New Orleans now is Mardi Gras free. New Orleans now is free of Southern Decadence and the sodomites, the witchcraft workers, false religion -- it's free of all of those things now," Shanks says. "God simply, I believe, in His mercy purged all of that stuff out of there -- and now we're going to start over again." (link)

* "CNN's Jack Cafferty: Do you suppose, Wolf, that the arrival of the relief convoys and the political photo ops on the gulf coast happening at the very same time were a coincidence today?...
Jack Cafferty: It's embarrassing [followed by dead silence]"(link)

* when nagin gave that much-beeped interview on the radio, i was trying to fill in the blanks - thinking that he may have really lost it. the bbc of course didnt need to bleep it - nagin merely said "god-dammn" - the FEC-fearing am.networks had to cut that out!
