On a lighter note:

CNN has begun it's wall to wall coverage of the Hurricane. Hopefully no white women are lost or displaced in or by the hurricane. In the midst of all the overkill, we have this story in Kentucky's only real statewide paper, near the top of the online page. This may be of supreme importance to the people at PETA, but a story about how pets are scared by fireworks featured so prominently seems just a little ridiculous. Maybe I just need perspective. I'm going to the pharmacy tomorrow and see if I can get some.
