Well if you do it yourself ahead of time you'll be remembered exactly as you wanted to be, right?

I don't mind if I'm cremated or not, but I DON'T want to be scattered, and I do NOT want to be buried here in New Orleans. Mostly because I do NOT want to 'be with anyone' in death, and the way the tombs, etc are dealt with around here, I would be. I choose to live my life as a single person, I'd prefer my body to remain that way 'after'!

Didn't a lot of coffins and/or bodies...um..."pop-up" out of the ground after Katrina?

I think I'd rather join Alex at the body farm.

There were a couple of cemeteries that had issues, yes - but not from New Orleans proper or 'up river' (where I am). They were in more coastal areas.

Obama selected a carrier politician (Leon E. Panetta) to head the CIA.

After an initial WTF? Reaction I think I'm starting to like this appointment.

After all who uses the data the CIA gathers? Primarily the executive branch. Politicians. So why not have a politician guiding the agency to collect the type of data they can actually use? As long has he takes that type of roll and does not try to micromanage field ops this could work out OK.
