Virtual Residency Day Thirty-Nine, Global Warming, Spike Lee & Katrina

Tomorrow is the second installment of the powerful Katrina documentary on HBO, "When the Levees Broke". I cried thru most of it for what I was seeing and on the screen many more were crying for what they lived thru. The last five minutes is images of the dead bodies of abandoned Americans accompanied by minor key violin music and the wreckage of homes.

This is where I came in. This is why I have been doing this blog, obsessed with global warming. The dead bodies is what global warming looks like on the ground. It is why I have poured energy into doing a "Virtual Residency" instead of flying to exotic locations. It is a drop in the bucket we will all drown in if there isn't some help.

Lee pulls no punches in this work. Without needing to say a word against him, Bush is framed by the dead bodies. His inaction and inappropriate action is damning beyond words. It names him by simply letting him speak. That is real artisitic brilliance; less is more.
