The All-Hurricane Channel
Cable News Giants Considering All-Hurricane Channel -- The Garlic
Damn. Why didn't I think of this?
Spoof aside, this is a great idea. The Dish Network, a satellite television provider, actually has an "all-hurricane" channel called "ERIN," The Emergency Response and Information Network. It's a 24/7 scroll of contact web sites and phone numbers for emergency and disaster aid and information, set to a calming background of new age, light classical, or groovy jazz music.
In any case, if there had been an "all-hurricane" channel, I would have been able to watch real news for the last ten days. Now there is a new tropical depression in the Gulf. *sigh* I wonder when cable news channels will actually begin reporting the news again, stuff like Bill Frist's stock sales, Tom Delay's fund-raising buddies, and the "Able Danger" Senate hearings.
