A Mighty Hiccu p Is about to Be Heard An Ignoble Confession Posted by James Wolcott I root for hurricanes. When, courtesy of the Weather Channel, I see one f orming in the ocean off the coast of Africa, I find myself longing for i t to become big and strong--Mother Nature's fist of fury, Gaia's stern r ebuke. Considering the havoc mankind has wreaked upon nature with defore sting, stripmining, and the destruction of animal habitat, it only seems fair that nature get some of its own back and teach us that there are f orces greater than our own. But a volcano is stationary, like D ennis Hastert after a big lunch. They move, change direction, strengthen, weaken, lose an eyewall, repair an eyewall; they seem to ha ve volition and opera-diva personalities. So there's something disappointing when a hurricane doesn't make landfall , or peters out into a puny Category One. Reporters and weather announce rs may profess relief and gratitude that residents were spared the full unleashing of the vortex, but their coverage belies this. They love havi ng reporters shouting into microphones on rain-lashed beaches as the str ay yacht gets flung around like a bath toy. The helicopter shots of rows of mobile rooms smashed as if stomped on by a giant boot are money shot s to the news networks. Camille Paglia observed on Salon in February, 2003 that the explosion of the Columbia shuttle on t he eve of the war on Iraq was a "stunning omen," one that would make a R oman general think twice. A catastrophe strewing death, fire, and human remains across Bush's home state of Texas was inauspicious to our undert aking; Frances is the second hurricane to af flict Florida, home of brother Jeb, in rapid succession.
