Sunday's nonworkout thoughts

I've spent the day reading and watching TV. Well, that with 2 hours of housecleaning.

It's Sept. 11 anniversary and there's still much news of Katrina. Fox did kind of interesting pre-game coverage with much Katrina and trade center lookbacks.

NY Times did a ton of Katrina coverage, much interesting, some predictable. They did the 'what happened and what went wrong' analysis for delay in Katrina. Worth checking out.

My favorite pieces, though were on the Op-Ed. ill share links to them here.
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/11/opinion/11sebold.html this one's by alice sebold, author of 'the lovely bones.'
"These tragedies, it's worth remembering, grant us an opportunity to understand what is perhaps our finest raw material: our humanity. The way we at our best treat one another. The way we listen to one another. The way we grieve."

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/11/opinion/11publiceditor.html this one's from the times' public editor. he looks at how the new york times covered new orleans the last decade.
"What readers would have been more likely to find in The Times's past decade of news coverage of New Orleans were stylishly written articles about the city's charm, cuisine and colorful characters. While some of those articles dealt with crime in the city's predominantly black neighborhoods, the issue of poverty was seldom explored in any depth."

hope everyone had a nice Sunday. off to watch chargers beat cowboys. (hope i am not coming across as callous!)
