I didn't make it to my movie last night,
but tonight I have fallen in love with Anderson Cooper
also in the news:
California is burning
New Orleans cops suspended for looting
Local sheriffs are shooting dogs
Tom DeLay was indicted
Cindy Sheehan was arrested
Evacuees are cruising on our tax dollars
CHRIS LAWRENCE, CNN CORRESPONDENT, (voice over): You're looking at one of the most expensive cruises money can buy and you bought it. Your tax dollars fund FEMA, which paid more than $230 million to Carnival Cruise Lines. FEMA bought out three cruise ships for six months, expecting close to 10,000 evacuees to live on board. There's fewer than 2,000 people still there.
REP JAY INSLEE, (D) WASHINGTON: So it actually costs the taxpayers about $3,500 a week and you can go on a cruise for $599 a week.
...and I've never even been on a cruise!! Good thing I don't pay taxes!!
I've been watching way too much cnn this evening...
