As far as I can tell, there is no other news that is being well-reported right now in the U.S. Not to appear insensitive to the victims of the hurricane, but Katrina trumps a lost white girl any day in its ability to wipe out coverage of other news items, and to the extent that we should all be concerned and outraged (my opinion, obviously) over the crap in New Orleans, it would appear that it will be a while before we get back to anything happenen over there in I-RAQ or in other important domestic or foreign affairs...not a bad time to hold a hearing for a new Supreme Court Justice though, I'll tell you that much. Not that it's constructed this way, but the timing is sort of beautiful for conservatives on this one.

edit kutulu pointed out that i might have been unclear. italics = added text
