Sep. 4th, 2005 12:50 amBack to obsessing about the disaster.
I've been thinking about how odd it is that people are shooting at helicopters. The media's spinning it as part of the excuse as to why the evacuation was/is going so slow, because people are being crazy down there. But consider, a lot of the news coverage that we're seeing is shot from the air. Meaning if you're on the ground, you're seeing helicopters fly overhead constantly and nobody's stopping to come get you. They're ignoring you for days. Isn't it possible that they're shooting to draw their attention and not out of an intent to harm? Damn, I would be shooting guns in the air too. (In fact, I'm making a mental note right now that should I ever get caught up in a heinous situation like that, I'm gonna pay a visit to my local gun shop with brick in hand. And I don't even like guns.)
Also, Anne Rice posts. It is the best thing I've read from her in years.
Anne Rice makes me cry, Newt Gingrich says something that I agree with. . . I'm grabbing a towel and bottled water because the world really is coming to an end.
