Good frickin' grief. It seems like all the media can do lately is ram Katrina down everyones' throat. Even when you change the channel, there it is - "KATRINA-ONE YEAR LATER - DON'T YOU FREAKIN' FEEL BAD?" Geez, alright already. It happened. I don't need the liberal media trying to guilt trip me everywhere I turn, because its over. Time to move on. They're are other points I could make about this whole Katrina thing, but they belong in P&N...

My 2 cents...

+10 points for using "liberal media" :roll:

Don't worry, you have weeks of 9/11, 5 years later to look forward to after this!

I'm tired of hearing about New Orleans. I wish we would hear more about the Mississippi gulf coast they got hit the hardest. The flooding did N.O in not the hurricane (the flooding did nothing but get rid of old run down homes maybe a few good ones but mostly the 9th ward and other slum areas). I'm from the Mississippi gulf coast, moved from there a year ago and spent nearly a month in N.O right after the hurricane doing emergency communications restoration work I HATE NEW ORLEANS!!

She is Katerina's twin sister and wait to you see their pics :eek:

Seriously, one of the largest natural disasters in American history is going to garner some press at the one year anniversary I would imagine. I doubt it is a "liberal" media at work for the most part.

Yeah, they can be pretty unfriendly. I was amazed how much nicer everyone was went a spent a month or two in Kansas City, Missouri. The funny thing is that the reason I stayed there is because Katrina destroyed the company my mother worked for!

Did I mention I'm only still in Louisiana because I'm a minor?

I'm from the place that got hit directly. You have no concept of how tired I am of hearing about it.

No hurricanes this year = sensationalistic (NOT liberal) media must report on last year's hurricanes.

If it bleeds, it leads. If it bled last year, it can bleed again on its anniversary this year. And as we're going to be footing the bill for Katrina for many years to come, I would say it's safe to assume that we will be hearing about it for a long time. Katrina was the biggest windfall for political corruption since 9/11.

i'm more tired about the whole John Beney Ramsey thing.... i mean, why is there so much attention on the death of a single little girl compared to anyone else? is the fact that she joins kiddy pageants make her that much more important?

I heard some figures on the news this morning.

Following hurricane Andrew, the US Gov't spent $10 billion (adjusted for 2005) on recovery. Following the LA earthquake a few years later, $12 billion (adjusted for 2005).

To date, the US Gov't has spent over $120 billion on Katrina-related recovery!!! Ten times the next-largest amount!!!

I tell you, the whole mess, before, during, and after, is one giant argument against Big Government!

Concerning Jon Benet Ramsey, another thing we're all tired of hearing about, Newsweek did a great job this week on that new Karr guy.
Conventional Wisdom: "Guilty sicko or innocent weirdo? Either way, why is the media obsessing over this pathetic man?"

Table of Contents: " CRIME: Is John Mark Karr a Killer, or Just a Twisted Fantasist?.......51"


:confused:


I just hope that the next thing we hear about that region concerns that they've finally decided to cooperate with Dutch engineers and invest in a strong, durable system to hold back the ocean, and not our usual quick-and-cheap methods that never seem to work for more than a few years.

Whenever I hear Katrina, I don't think of the hurricane. I think of my little cat named Katrina, who is always begging for attention and wanting me to play with her :)

I'm sick of hearing about Katrina, and also tired of seeing New Orleans' idiot mayor Nagin on the TV.
