The media has had their eyes wide opened by what happened in New Orleans.

Most of the people in the media lead very priviledged lives, and I honestly don't think many of them had any clue about the poverty crisis in this country, and particularly in New Orleans.

And I think that particular angle of this story (the poverty factor and the fact that many people couldn't afford to leave) has had a profound affect on the media.

It's like all of their assumptions about this country have been blown. Well, it's about time that happened.


And yes, I'll look for those batteries! :)
