Walking on Sunshine


Now that's comedy!
Here's a random thought: in watching coverage of the devastating hurricane on network and local television (I've enjoyed not having cable for the past 9 months), I haven't yet heard an inappropriate Katrina and the Waves joke. Anyone?

UPDATE: Oh, and get out your wallets. There's a lot of people who need help. I just did.

...and don't it feel GOOD?!

Its funny--maybe subliminal--but I was thinking of Walking on Sunshine just yesterday. Actually, I was thinking of the scene in American Psycho where he walks down the hall, listening to said song on his walkman. That Patrick Bateman--his taste is all in his mouth.

History is in the making as this will prove to be an economic, humanitarian and environmental disaster that politicians, businesses and students will study for years. MommyCool asks a great question and want to know who made the major network programming calls for Tuesday night and why? As New Orleans slowly flooded the day after hurricane Katrina departed, ABC-NBC-CBS-FOX chose to air their regular 3-hour meaningless evening programming. What about Americans without cable, Internet or satellite reception? You’d find that most Americans either: (A) Know someone displaced by the storm and flooding; (B) Have been to New Orleans which is a city that will never be the same; or, (C) will feel the household spending strains of $3.50-$4.00 per gallon gas in the coming months. The networks, which are licensed to broadcast programming in the nation’s best interest over the public airwaves, had their news divisions noticeable absent during primetime, Tuesday, August 30th. Instead, the American public was treated to Big Brother, Most Outrageous TV Moments, a double-dose of According To Jim - Rodney (?!) and House! Peter Jennings just rolled over in his grave. Will the broadcast networks wake up after the President addresses the nation today?
