Can you hear me now?

Kathleen Babineaux Blanco, governor of Louisiana is up in arms about the commercial wireless networks' failure to remain operational after hurricane Katrina.

Frankly, what does she expect from a commercial network? Are the TV networks up? How about the electric utilities? sewer systems? how about city water? Every one of these other systems are public utilities and SHOULD be functional shortly after disaster hits, but it would do her no good to rail about those, because she'd just be pointing out her own failures. Hey, I hate the cellphone company just as much as the next guy ("F*&^ing dropped my call AGAIN!) but this bit of bile is simply misdirected.
