Governor Blanco

Going to Governor Blanco's speech was eye-opening and interesting. I was very interested in hearing her experience with Katrina. She really was there and saw everything first-hand. Unlike the unreliable news reporters (which she mentioned), Gov. Blanco was able to share with us some of the truth surrounding this terrible catastrophe. I also really liked hearing her story about how she became governor. She beat all odds and was able to acheive that title. It is amazing because of the fact that she is a woman and because of her political standing. She seems like a very amazing person and I am extremely happy that I was able to hear her speak about her experiences.

A nice post - thanks!

The issue of the news reporting came up in one of the open sessions yesterday, and it raised some challenging questions about how one can reasonably stay informed about events today. Thoughts?
