The various on-air personalities are upset. The hurricane might not destroy New Orleans. On the other hand, government is looking good, CNN keeps assuring us (whew), unlike during Katrina, which was awful because it was a PR disaster for the parasites. James Carville was praising government (the job of all guests), but did note that when he was a boy, such a storm would not have been a problem. Since then, the Corps of Engineers has rerouted the Mississippi, destroying the proective marshes, for the benefit of the barge industry. Indeed, it has altered the river up and down its length for the barge industry. The river, unowned property, is abused by government at all levels for the biggest bribes. Free the Mississippi! Privatize it.
