Katrina & the Media

Unless you have been sleeping in a dark cave for the past two weeks chances are that you heard about Hurricane Katrina at least once. Katrina has dominated the news ever since it was named. Now granted it is one of the largest hurricanes we have had in a while and I am sorry for those who have lost their lives, homes and possessions in it. But I am sick and tired of how the media is using this disaster as ammunition against Bush and to generally promote their wacko-left ideas.
Almost in every news source out there you will find a mention that this hurricane is a direct result of "global warming", which we big, bad, rich Americans are responsible for. I found it interesting that the only place I could get objective reporting from was The Rush Limbaugh Show ( I shouldn't have been surprised). During the show a meteorologist called in and said he thought it was puzzling that no one mentioned that all meteorologists agree that we have been in a hurricane lull since the 1970s, this is just a cycle every 30-40 years there is lull which is followed by an increase in hurricane activity.
Also people are complaining that the hurricane will drive gas prices higher, and may I ask why? The reason is that we have these laws the regulate what types of gasoline can be used where. There are 40 different types of gasoline in this country, this makes for a problem when we have a stop in gas production since it has to be refined into certain types it creates a distribution problem, not a supply problem, we have lots of gasoline, but we have to divide it into 40ths that can only be used in certain places. How stupid is this?
