The most important video links?

[Autumn Colors]

My friend who lives just outside of Hattiesburg, MS JUST got his electricity and high-speed cable back today. He had been recharging his laptop battery with his truck and using dial-up access with a long phone cable. He has been completely cut off to everything going on outside of his town and surrounding communities.

He how wants to catch up on all of the news coverage of the past two weeks. (I should also mention that he was born and spent part of his childhood in New Orleans.)

I want to start sending him links to the videos he really needs to see of the coverage in NO, the disaster AFTER the hurricane, the media finding its backbone, etc. I told him some of the things that were going on and how angry the country is now and his mouth dropped.

Note: He's not a conservative by any means but isn't politically active.

So... please make your recommendations or point me to an archive that has them all (someone must be keeping one).

This report is split into two parts, and it takes about 20 minutes to listen to the whole thing. But it's worth it. --Skinner

According to city, state, and federal officials, the President tells the governor he will send the troops, but only if they and the National Guard answer to the White House.

4. Ok, I just compiled a list for you

Actually, if he watches the Daily Show "Meet the F**kers"
he'll see most of the important clips.
That might be on the comedy channel website.

The Oprah show is supposed to be really good.
it's about 100 megabytes, I haven't seen it yet.

Geraldo from inside the convention center.
Anderson Cooper with Governor Blanco I think from Thursday.
I don't have a link handy for those,
they are probably somewhere on crooks and liars.

The interview with Jefferson Parish President Broussard,
tell him to watch this all the way through.
