<p>The Daily, Rupert Murdoch's iPad newspaper, tried to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdVv1buOMOY&amp;feature=share&amp;list=UUMliswJ7oukCeW35GSayhRA">lighten the mood</a> by changing the lyrics to "Don't Stop Believing" so that they reflect the realities of the past week--post-Hurricane, pre-election. But it seems just a wee bit insensitive when people are still trapped without power, the death toll is rising, homes and towns are wrecked, there is a gasoline shortage, whole swaths of the city are basically cut off from each other and the recovery is still just getting underway almost a full week later.</p>
<p>And, on top of it all, we now have journey stuck in our head. Perhaps indefinitely. But of course, we aren't complaining! We are in the middle of a national disaster.</p>
