New Can of Corn*
If David Corn can criticize Clinton, I guess I can call my favorite talk show host Hugh Hewitt on a mistake he's been making on air. He's looking at a lot of standing water in the residental areas of New Orleans and says we should sell our stock of publically traded shares of home owner insurance companies active in the South. Don't bother. Hugh has not been watching the television commercials lately, which make it clear that regular insurance on your home does NOT cover damage caused by floods. To cover flood damage, you have to buy special flood insurance which is only available from... the U. S. Government, NFIP through FEMA to be precise. Wonder how many people with homes below sea level in Nya' lins bought the insurance. Seems a no-brainer now.
