I've been watching WWL-TV in New Orleans for as long as I can remember, and by all rights it is an excellent station. But some years back the station employed this reporter who had no clue where she was at. Around the time she
married the mayor she was anchoring the 5:30am early newscast, which was rife with mistakes from her and the crew - misspelling names on the ticker, technical errors, etc. We used to turn that newscast on at the local barroom and take bets on how many flubs would occur. And nevermind that this reporter was on the air almost ten years, she never learned the geography of the city. When her husband (the mayor) was appointed head of the Urban League in N.Y.C., she left the station and was given a cushy job as a network reporter on CBS! Her name...Michelle Miller (Morial).

Well, it looks like now's the time to buy a house - I was looking at the Cleveland MLS and gosh, I could sell my modest suburban home and buy an entire block up there! Furthermore, nothing could be more embarrassing than living in New Orleans these days...
