show me where the sun comes through the sky

have these news field reporters in florida lost their friggin minds or what?

christ, it’s hurricane season, there’s been 4 major hurricanes in the last 3 weeks, and they’re down there reporting on it, in the middle of evac orders, in the dark of night, with the power out.

the winds are so strong that they can barely stand, frail little female and big strong male reporters alike are struggling just to stand without being knocked over and blown away.

(edit: a big chunk of random debris just blew right past a field reporter and almost hit her live on national tv. what in the fuck are you thinking? drop the mic and run, you fool!)

this brings only one question to mind: what the hell is your problem?

that’s not dedication. that’s beyond dedication. that’s straight stupidity. stupidity to the point of disturbing.

speaking of disturbing – you know what commercial shows in between the msnbc live coverage of the hurricane? ads for the ‘freedom tower silver dollar.’ it’s a silver dollar, .999 mil silver, that is designed to show the world trade center (along with a partial shot of the old new york skyline), and they’re all made from certified silver that was recovered from a silver depository located underneath the towers.

meaningful memorable keepsake my ass, there’s just something not right about it.
