Badtime Charley

I'm watching CNN coverage of Hurricane Charley as it slams into the much-maligned state of Florida. I worry for my friends down there and I feel sorry for everyone in the path of this monster. I wish we spent less time in this country sniping at one another and fighting, and more time working together to minimize the destruction from this kind of disaster.

And not that it's in the same category but I wish TV news would get over the notion that you have to send reporters to stand out in the wind and rain to report that it's windy and raining. It's not "on the scene" news coverage. It's cheap theatrics.
