wasting money sending local reporters to new orleans
I'm getting the impression that every freakin' local tv station has decided that they have to have their own reporter on the scene in New Orleans. What a fuckin' waste. These stations ought keep their people at home, arrange sharing with local stations, and donate the money they save to the relief effort. (And to give some credit where its due, Disney apparently already has announced a $2.5 million donation to relief centers and childrens charities in the area, as well as another $1 million to the Red Cross).

2. No kidding, the 'reporter'
from one local station last night looked to be all of 22 and had nothing of note to say. For the price of getting these droids in and out of NO I'm sure they could've taken care of 20 or more of those in need.
