</html><description>By satirist Harry Shearer, who recently took two years off from comedy to direct "The Big Uneasy", a documentary about the investigations into the 2005 New Orleans flood  Within hours of the landfall of Sandy, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was telling his homeboy anchor Brian Williams that he was going to get on the phone to the President and request the Army Corps of Engineers to come up with a plan for protecting the Jersey shore.  If he hasn&#x2019;t yet placed that call, he might want to give it a second think.</description></oembed>
