"HOWEVER all this panic reminds me of the old SCTV skit with John Candy playing a scientist for the national enquirer say "uh, yeah sure, its uh possible. Yes I am a scientist"."
This panic is being competely driven by the 24-hour news cycle and the body-count.
It is insane. They news networks can wait to increase the count.
The threat of a Tidal wave hitting today was no greater than it was last month.
It reminds me of all those nut how were asking their Dr's to give them Cipro, when the anthrax stuff was going down.
The media can't wait to blame america. Can't wait to blame bush for not signing Kyoto. Can't wait to praise Kyoto. Can't wait to blame the SUV's for directly causing the tsunami. Can't wait to fly in and get face time in front of the camera and show the tragedy. (with fake tears on the face) Can't wait to show Gorbachov with his communism is now environmentalism anti-private property schtick. Can't wait to show its the UN not the USA which is sending help, food, and money.
The only surprise is that the MSM is not having spontaneous on air orgasms.
