All the World's a Stage

by Marie

Is that what Chertoff was attempting to demonstrate? Not the world, that would be much too ambitious. Only New Orleans. Turn New Orleans into a stage show directed by Chertoff. With himself and his underlings in the lead roles and DHS as the chorus. With a special appearance by King George to bless the spectators? A Mardi Gras on steriods complete with real instead of imagined macabre.

Were they writing the script on the fly? Is that why they pushed others away from the stage? The stage that they had to keep clear until they were ready to turn on the lights?
