Not off topic.
But broadcasters and newspapers have played a minor role in the New
Orleans recovery. Both have resorted to - can you believe it - the
Web, to continue their efforts to keep the public informed.
As for the Governor, and the Mayor and Police Chief. They all need to
be impeached for derilection of duty. What a sad excuse for public
officials.
