  • Katrina Counterpoint

    Sundance Channel ran Mardi Gras Made in China as a counterpoint to our Katrina rememberances. The documentary maker interviews Mardi Gras partiers and the Chinese people who make their beads – both being completely ignorant of each other. The beads might as well have been dropped from Mars; when the workers were shown what was done with the beads, they thought they came from Mars. Who is being indicted here?

    One year later. The posts from last year, on it dawns on us that this was something.
    NBC’s Brian Williams tonight with a retrospect. The pictures are still hard to grasp.
