Harry Shearer Speaks

Many thanks to Crystal Kile at the Newcomb Center for Research on Women's New Media Lab (@Sophielab on twitter) for shooting and sharing the following video of Mr. Shearer. It's not the whole thing, but its a solid 26 minutes of horrible facts and biting wit.

As she puts it, "In his address, Shearer reflects on the mediated, politicized aftermath of Katrina from his perspective as a New Orleans-identified blogger, thinker, entertainer, and professional human being."
