I've just got home after being gone for 36 hrs. When did Geraldo show up? He seems rather dramtic and it's all about him. I could be wrong but I've been away.

You are not wrong. Big time Geraldo dramatics. He & NOLA police chief were a hysterical tag team...trying to make it sound like the crowd was about to blow any minute. Very theatrical, very dramatic, very irresponsible, very Geraldo. It would be funny if it wasn't so contrived. Well, it was funny...but that's because no one was buying it on FreeRepublic and hopefully, no one else who saw it was buying it either. Actually, even Bill O'R seemed disdainful and Geraldo just kind of simmered down after it was obvious even he couldn't pull it off!

Situation must be getting under control...it seems like "reportage" has moved from disaster coverage to political posturing, race baiting and invoking the Almighty in the most cynical and profane ways.

I guess if the MSM and the politicos have the luxury of debating one another rather than attending to public service and emergency management, maybe we aren't getting such a crystal clear picture of what's really going on after all. I think what we are seeing on TV now is ratings race for the media and political positioning for the "politicos" (and I do use that word disdainfully). Neither wants to find themselves being blamed for years of irresponsible and stupid liberal ideas that culminated in the after storm disaster of Katrina....IMHO.

Now, why do people keep moving my drink and telling me to get off the computer for a while....?! (hic) ?;^)
