The New Orleans Times Picayune’s Chris Rose sought the help of Dr. Phil to help cope with the approaching anniversary of Katrina, but got stood up by the good Dr.’s people: “It is pretty well known among you newspaper readers that a colleague of mine at the paper is, in fact, currently institutionalized because he snapped under the pressure of everything — everything from wading through fetid waters to take pictures of dead people to losing his own house to just trying to live and, well, the living part is not easy here in the summer of our discontent.”

Words for Acts

An avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty. It leads men to stretch, to misinterpret, and to misapply even the best of laws. He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Tom Paine
