Bermuda took a pretty good pounding too. What is really disappointing
is that the news media has almost totally neglected reporting on the
Bahamas. Several of the islands have experienced near total
destruction and you have to find out from it from obscure news
sources. Other than the Weather Channel, there is nothing. No NYT, no
CNN coverage, nothing. Even FauxNews doesn't care--can't blame it on
Obama.
Oh, but a cargo vessel sank. There is a huge debris field, but never
mind the fact that much of that debris came from the islands, not the
ship. At least the news is reporting on the ship. That really is a big
story in a sea of many big stories.
Sorry, the grapes turned.
