2. I was impressed with ABC's coverage last night. Charlie Gibson
and Co. did a good job of highlighting the fact that relatively nothing is being done. The story on the couple that had a FEMA trailer but no keys to it was heartbreaking. They had always been a part of the Mardi Gras parade and this is the first year in their marriage that they cannot afford to reconstruct their costumes. He said he was going to celebrate "as best he could...maybe on the front porch of his wrecked home with a can of red beans..." They had a lot of panoramic shots of the destruction with virtually no clean up crews, FEMA support or anything. Yes, this is America. And it makes me sick.
