UPDATE: Red Coyote is hurricaneblogging from Ft. Walton Beach, and observes: "Can we get rid of 'hunker down,' please? I know it fits the situation, but ohmigawd, with Charley, and Frances, and now Ivan, it's been beat into the ground."
It fits the situation with Dan Rather, too.
ANOTHER UPDATE: More New Orleans hurricaneblogging. Plus, praise for drunken trannie hookers. Because, after all, New Orleans in a hurricane is still New Orleans!
