But with Homeland Security (I still boggle at that name) and FEMA operating the way they are, they still wouldn't have a clue how to proceed.
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Perkins, she only appeared in the season finale.

Yep, but according to EW she will be back. (do I need to whitefont, or delete this).
I like her. I just am not sure if it is enough to get me to watch.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Re: the racism: Watching the news cover the President's visit to New Orleans and Gulfport to day, Joe noticed something. Most of the coverage and front page photos and slideshows have predominantly shown African American survivors. There was NOT. ONE. black person shown with or near The President. WTF is THAT?

Right, they introduced her in the finale.
Technically, yeah, we should probably be whitefonting -- it hasn't been a year yet, right?
I also have high hopes for "Kitchen Confidential".

I saw him some. I couldn't give you a percentage though.

I saw the president hugging some African Americans. I think it was somewhere in Mississippi. From what I could tell, they seemed to be giving him grief, while he gave them platitudes and that really annoying grin. Bah.

I know he stopped in Biloxi. He was "comforting" a black mother & daughter who just kept saying they'd lost everything. You could chalk it up to a photo op, but with the audio it didn't help his image much.

Ain't it the truth, aurelia. Actually, it may have been intended to be a photo op, but with that freaky grin, I think he lost on that count as well. I have a harder time judging the audio, because his voice always makes my skin crawl, so it's hard for me to listen to the words. It's a failing of mine, but one I can live with.
