W
hile Ed Cone has been right all week that local press coverage of Katrina has rather missed the point, here he has found something truly mortifying.

Hi, just came across your blog. I enjoyed it ...most informative.

I've been reviewing other legal blogs and I book marking the standouts.

Well, needless to say, I have bookmarked your blawg.

I also write a blawg. Actually, it's more of a collection of Internet Tech tips/observations to inform legal web site owners how to achieve improved search engine standings while avoiding the many Internet scams.

My blawg legal advice library site. is still very much a work in progress. My legal directory San Diego attorneys site is the flagship of our 15 legal directory sites that cover California, Texas and Las Vegas.

Please visit and check them out if you have the time

You're right, Eric, I was truly mortified by "the possibility of a bioengineered malevolent biological virus"!

Didn't you work for, or alongside, Chertoff? I seem to remember you giving him a thumbs-up when he got the job at Homeland Security. Anyways, just wondering what you think of his performance thus far.

As for me, I can't figure out if it should be Chertoff or Brown (of FEMA) who should be fired first. I never thought I'd say this, but it's too bad Bernie Kerick isn't in charge.

Stories like this do remind one that the term "evacuees" has been used for prisoners before now.

As a USC football fan I have to say; so what? I'm sure they've had that photo and story waiting for the whole summer just to plug in there on the day of the game. I can show you alot of other ridiculous stuff that comes out of the main stream media, from ignoring 99.9% of the world and its issues, to either counter-hyping torture allegatons (the lemon chicken stories), to a bajllion other things. I somehow doubt that the days after this front page won't be all about the hurricane.
