What really happened in New Orleans?
Tomorrow is Mardi Gras in New Orleans.
It's the big festival that comes before Lent, traditionally forty days oflight fasting and self-denial beforebefore Easter.
Today, while people the world overcelebrate "Carnival," let's feast on the rarest commodity in America today, a little bit of truth.
It's a pretty safe bet these daysthat if a story appears on thefront page of the newspaper, you can assume the facts have been 100% spun, distorted and manufactured.
* Weapons of mass destruction?
* Bush won the 2000 election?
* The 9/11 plot was hatched in a caveand carried out with box cutters?
All total and complete BS, but that'swhat the modern mass media reports - and they're sticking to their story.
Here's another one for you...but first a simple multiple choice quiz:
You are a federal agency.
You observe by air reconnaisance that the levee system of major America city is in the process of collapsing endangering the lives of many tens of thousands of people.
What do you do?
A. Nothing
B. Report it immediately to local public safety officials so they can alert citizens and rescue workers
C. Delay telling local officials fortwelve hours
D. Delay informing the locals so you can figure out how best to spin the story - and meanwhile let hundreds ofpeople drown to death.
If you picked D, you understand America today.
