National
Geographic
that Mr. Crocker writes about and began laughing
when I read the item about maternity leave. (Oh, sorry, I forgot
that this was no laughing matter.) Steeling myself against the
additional political correctness that was sure to come, my jaw fell
to the floor when later in the issue they ran an article about the
folly of rebuilding New Orleans and not once did they mention
George W. Bush! Everyone knows that he was behind the levees
failing. Even when the article threw in the global warming scare as
yet another reason not to rebuild New Orleans, George W. Bush's
name was again omitted even though he, of course, is responsible
for global warming. So, Mr. Crocker, I'll have to give
National
Geographic
a pass on the maternity leave item especially since
they probably just lost half of their subscriptions by allowing
such a pro-George Bush piece through. One question: Does
National Geographic
give its employees 52 weeks of paid
maternity leave? If not, I hope they'll at least give the staff
member responsible for the New Orleans piece a nice severance
package.
