The Red Cross has been ordered not to enter New Orleans with relief. While, meanwhile, the Army Times is starting to refer to a number of the hurricane victims in New Orleans as “the insurgency.” (First link from Making Light)

Just when you thought things couldn’t get more fucked up. Which Broadway musical will our Secretery of State go see now? (I hear Avenue Q is supposed to be good, Dr. Rice.)

I sent some money, through my employer, last week to the Red Cross. Now I can only hope it gets to the people who need it most. (And no, I most definitely don’t mean Trent Lott.)

Rockne S. O’Bannon’s idea for Cult, about “a kind of Charles Manson-slash-Hannibal Lecter kind of cult figure,” was, in part, inspired by Farscape fans. But y’know, in a good way.

It doesn’t sound like a terrible idea for a show, although on the page it does bear some unfortunate resemblance to FreakyLinks. Of course, he’s developing it for the WB, which doesn’t have a great track record with horror of the non-Buffy (or non-Charmed) variety. I guess some of it will depend on how this year’s Supernatural does.

And that’s it.
