We did it!

Finally!
I think as of last Wednesday, the mainstream media had interviewed every last victim of hurricane Katrina. It took them a few weeks, but they got around to all of them.
It is a good thing that nothing else really important was going on over the last few weeks.
It could not have been easy. For one, the residents of New Orleans are scattered all over the country. I just this afternoon witnessed and argument in Dayton between a woman from New Orleans and one of the locals. And finding all 480,000 had to have been a chore. Then finding the time to interview them all. It is an impressive feat any way in which you measure it. I have never seen such a concentrated effort in all of the media outlets to get to one goal like this. It really is a red letter day for the American media.
I now know more about levee mechanics, environmental studies, New Orleans and Louisiana politics, FEMA, and hurricane science than I ever knew before, or feel I needed to know.
Still, glad nothing at all is going on elsewhere.
