I was listening to 680 AM this morning. They had their own news reporters and were also tapping into Fox News (fair and balanced...
) One jerk called in to say that he hopes New Orleans sinks into the sea like Atlantis. Someone else called in to talk about how bodies would start to float down the street when cemeteries flooded. Yet another doomsayer called in to tell us that if anyone got swept away in the flood waters, they would get carried all the way out into the Gulf of Mexico. From the actual reporters -- the roof of the Superdome was ripping off, the levee by the 9th ward was breached, and historic buildings in the French Quarter were being ripped apart. All this in the first ten minutes of turning the news on. I'm so glad my sister and her family evacuated New Orleans, but I hope they have a home to get back to.
