#1 I just saw the Lt. General the Feds put in charge on Fox. Have to say I was fairly impressed; he seems to be a businesslike, non-political type. Which IMAO is exactly what is called for.

#2 The thing that really twists my knickers is that the MSM have turned this into all NO all the time. NO wasn't even the hardest hit city. What about Biloxie and Gulfport and the rest of the MS coast?

NO is the place that the MSM can use to hit at Bush (wrongly) though so that's all you hear about.

#3 What about Biloxie and Gulfport and the rest of the MS coast?

o Republican-controlled local government. Can't let the 'pubs get any publicity for handling their areas well.

o More damage; less accessible.

o Local government may not let the vultures in.

o Fewer strip clubs; less draw for reporters.

o Less booze; less draw for reporters.

o Fewer hookers; less draw for reporters.

o Everyone in the world has heard of New Orleans. Far fewer have heard of Biloxi.
