U.S. TV viewers concerned that Mainstream Media is over-promising Hurricane Irene's possible damage to NYC area -fear it will be disappointing blah and not spectacular mess that the hipster reporters promised us.
I'm already starting to think that instead of the quality Jerry Bruckheimer-produced Grade A film that shows you on-screen where every dollar was spent, the type that the U.S. media is gabbing about expecting this weekend, what's more likely is that we'll get one of those terrible Grade C, Made-in-Canada films that air on Syfy Channel with a largely unknown cast that you come across late at night.
The kind where after watching only one segment you say, "Ugh!!! This is un-watchable."
Meanwhile, if parts of Anthony Weiner's former CD, NY-9, are about to go "blub, blub" under water, who will they have in D.C. looking out for them?
Right, nobody.
Just like Gabrielle Gifford's AZ-8 -un-elected staff with no vote or influence.
And supposedly, if you haven't already heard the latest, Rep. Giffords supporters in the Arizona Democratic Party have stated that she won't even publicly announce for another 10 months whether she will seek re-election.
That is to say, in May of 2012.
In my opinion, she should've already resigned -months ago.
Regardless of the circumstances, all Americans are entitled to congressional representation in Washington that can do the job - RIGHT NOW.
Their rights are more important than hers.
If nobody has thought about it already, it might be time to put up some time-lapse cameras around New York right about now so we can see how Battery Park looks as the Hudson River reclaims it.
Compare to how the Dutch saw it the first time almost 400 years ago:
New York Times headline on Monday?
"Irene strikes NYC area with savage fury; poor & minorities especially hard hit"
