To IEC:
I really don’t think the reporters put that much thought into it. Comparing it to New Orleans? Even they have more sense than to do that.

Yeah, you can see it in their eyes!

They are so effin’ happy about this flood business it is sick. The anchorwoman on 6 gets this really crazed look in her eye when bad stuff goes down.

And let’s not forget Channel 7 and their TEAM COVERAGE!

I would gladly pay for their ADHD drugs if they need me to.

People who buy houses in a flood plain need to have their heads examined. Regarding industrial pollution on the river, I tried to keep up with sugar plant pollution in the 1960s with a series of articles that won a national award. Glad I could contribute to My Own Private Idaho.

What is really getting to me about this recent flood focus is that the valley “news” powers-that-be have decided to employ hurricane Katrina buzzwords. It irks me to see their uber-serious mugs reporting things like, failing levees, massive flooding, and widespread damage.

Do they suppose that by using these buzzwords viewers will lean a little closer to their TVs in orgasmic anticipation of the drama that might unfold.. the likes of which we saw last August in New Orleans? Fewer theatrics and more facts, please. It’s getting old.

For some good perspective on rivers and flooding, check out the this video: http://www.americanrivers.org/site/PageServer?pagename=AMR_MER2006 It talks about the ten "Most Endangered" rivers of 2006, and how bad flood control projects are an ongoing problem across the country.
