Taxpayers for Common Sense: Lessons from Katrina and Gustav

Gustav finds IT execs prepared for the worst

Dodging Bullets~Julia Reed
~Editilla Notellas~I have grown to absolutely hate that Famous Phrase in the article's title, but have left it (as found) out of an abiding fondness for the author's other work. One would hope that Ms Reed,
whom I assume of course follows da'Ladda,
might avoid such devastating misnomer...
--or better yet address its use in an article.
Editilla waits upon spinner baited breath.
We have "Dodged" nothing. South Central Louisiana has gotten its Heart Stomped, and we have citizens stranded, rent asunder...
--with another "bullet" on the way!

Just as when the News Media used this "problem child of sound'bite punditry" in describing how Katrina had missed the city, the use of such "sucker's babel" serves no purpose to the Evaculture Now but to draw attention away from Information and over to Advertisement. No one who had ever been near a gunfight as a result of man'made disaster would use such heinous and stupid description for a natural one.

Seeing so much water and news about more water, I'm surprised there hasn't been a retail run at the malls for the new Functional Flood Fashions that Oprah and the NOLA Chamber of Commerce just introduced.

Well? If the levees can't hold up, what's a lady to do?
