Here we go - planning the next disaster a bit prematurely...
anyone who has watched the Weather Channel over the past few years are very aware of the variability in weather.....so - we already have Katrina as a category 4 storm hitting Louisiana. I am not belittling the potential horror of bad storms - but this Situation Room terramania is really a bit much. CNN - all media - has truly learned how much FEAR sells - even when it is a premature shot.....CNN - one step forward, two steps backward.

CNN - YOUR hurricaine headquarters....oh my.....

Let's turn this two alarm fire into a three alarm fire!

Jon Stewart has this comedy of a news show nailed!

1. Actually, Accuweather is expecting it to hit cat 4, maybe 5 by Sun pm.

3. I am not debating the possibility...but being it is still a bit premature
to whip things up into a frenzy....but, that's the Situation Room fer ya! (I'd love to see them have technical difficulties and have a range of different test patterns from the 1950's show up on their TVs!)

2. It also takes the heat off all the bad news
about our supposed leader; a calculated distraction.
