Like many of you, I suspect, I have been hoovering the news since Katrina struck, but since we still haven't had any need to unpack the TV, I've been getting all of it online. Out of the huge number of pundits and bloggers out there, John and the folks over at AMERICAblog seem to have taken the Fed's screwups personally, and have amassed a truly staggering collection of headlines, transcripts, video links, and so forth that frame the enormity of the debacle. They're also all over any piece that comes out in the mainstream media which breaks from the current (unfathomably lame) party line Rove wants the country to swallow, which is fascinating in its own right. It's a daily good read, if you have a strong stomach.

Speaking of the...well, closer to mainstream media, check out this video of Keith Olberman on MSNBC, or go and read the (mostly accurate) transcript.

Having been cut off from the world the last 8 days, it's a little overwhelming trying to catch up with all the news and information out there. Your LJ posts and links are really helping to summarize things nicely. Thanks.

Thank you. There is this giant growl out there, I'm mostly pointing out the actual barks.
