wilma's leftovers

not that i ever really had much respect for cnn and it's lack of objective journalistic skill, but this past weekend was revolting. glued to the shit channel like a fuckin' moron, all i hear all weekend is "thank goodness wilma is staying so long on the yucatan peninsula - it'll weaken it for florida". in spite of cnn's pure hatred of Mexicans, they fared pretty fuckin' ok - 8 dead in the worst storm in recorded history that stayed 400% longer than katrina did, during which 800 died. seems to me like mexico's got their shit together - the army was there before the storm hit and there are no political whining battles going on about "where it all went wrong". and my folks are ok, the locals going above and beyond to make sure they're as comfortable as they can be under the circumstances. but to cnn, all mexicans are good for is weakening hurricanes before they hit the florida keys.

oh, and they're also good for murdering. Killer denies guilt before his execution - rip luis ramirez, most likely innocent. see his homepage
