Gustav vs. Katrina: Bolling Breaks It Down

Gustav Huge in More Ways Than One

I write from Morgan City, La., which Sunday night was dead on to get the eye of Hurricane Gustav.  I wouldn't have it any other way.  I have covered every major hurricane in the U.S. for almost 25 years. My first trip to Morgan City was in 1992, for the second act of what was, until Katrina, the most costly hurricane in U.S. history: Andrew.  You'll remember that storm hit the east coast of ... read more

Waiting for Hurricane Gustav’s Eye: Nature Always Wins

Sunday, Aug. 31 6:52pm CST The temperature is 92 degrees. Sweltering heat, hard to breathe. My skin is sweating faster than I can wipe it off my body. Bugs are everywhere, and they are loud. I am writing from my vehicle in Morgan City, La. We are waiting Hurricane Gustav’s eye, and it appears that we are in a prime location. Why would a person await the eye of a hurricane ... read more

A Run of the Imagination in the Wake of Hillary's Speech

The phone conversation, I imagine, will go something like this. “Hello, Kiss and Make Up Florist, how may I help you?” “Hi Susan, its Barack. I need to order 4,860,000 bouquets of roses.” “No problem Mr. O... Red or white?” “Both. Got any blue?” “Certainly sir, you still in trouble with Michelle over that Access Hollywood interview with the girls?” “No, far ... read more

The Power of Party Loyalty

"I am a Yellow Dog Democrat," 87-year-old Charles Johnson boasted proudly in his rich southern drawl along with a warm southern smile. "Yellow Dog Democrat?" I asked. "Yes," Charles replied. "I'd rather vote for a Yellow Dog Democrat than a Republican." Charles is from North Carolina, and, as they might say in is home state, he ain’t alone.  "I'm looking to be amazed," 19-year-old Brett ... read more

Patchouli, Capitalism and Obama: On Scene at the DNC

“Stop misleading the country you a—holes” screamed a young, sweaty, lanky, long-haired protestor Sunday outside Denver’s Pepsi Center. “Where you from” I asked? “F--- off” he said. Welcome to the 2008 Democratic National Convention! The protestor was yelling at police officers and reporters during a demonstration Sunday that shut down the main entrance to the Democrats’ ... read more
