Juxtaposition

CNN is doing a really interesting thing right now. Condi is giving a press confernce talking about how much the administration is doing and has done with relief efforts, trying to white wash over the carnage.

So it's the same old bullshit. But it's the set up that's interesting. They've got a 6 way split screen with the other screens either showing the devistation and carnage, some showing the president hugging black folk as part of Operation: Photo Op, and various other scenes of New Orleans and Biloxi.

Instant cognitive dissonance. I'm feeling really dizzy. Then Tom Delay and Denny Hastert come on another screen talking about how they'll get to legislative releif within a "few weeks".
