The call for another evacuation came after repeated warnings from top federal officials, including President Bush, that New Orleans was not safe enough to reopen. Federal officials warned that Tropical Storm Rita _ upgraded to a hurricane Tuesday morning _ could breach the city's weakened levees and swamp New Orleans all over again.
The mayor of N'awlins is too busy moving his family to Dallas.
Check the buses Ray, some might be useable.
They should have named the storm "Hurricane Ray" instead of Rita.
I heard he already bought a house in Dallas. Some reporter should ask him if true. If it is he should resign.

OK Nagin...let's hear you complain now about the Feds.
General Honore needs to have a little chat with the Mayor.
Yeah, and read him the riot act!!!
Ray is lucky that he can use "Rita" as the excuse since he shouldn't have asked the residents to return IN THE FIRST PLACE!. Rita is not the reason for the 'change in mind'.
Ray Ray's theme song..
Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble

So come on and let me know
If we must spend $200B to rebuild this stinking pit, why not at least do it somewhere higher and drier?
Not likely ,they have sitting for days up to their roofs in stew of sea water/rain water/sewerage for over a week. The entire fleet is a total loss trying to get all that crud out of the engine,fuel system,transmission would be a Herculean task even in good times in the immediate aftermath of a disaster forget about it.
Hey! That cat is already a residen of Dallas. His chilrens is aready enrold in Dallas scul system an he's done bought hisself a manshun!
HA!! That is fantastic.
"rebuild this stinking pit, why not at least do it somewhere higher and drier?"
This "stinking pit", refines your gasoline, ships your grain,imports your steel, catches your seafood and makes the chemicals needed by other industries. It is one of the biggest ports in the country, and most of the oil production in the Gulf is off the coast or in the mouth of the river. Maybe you would like to give all those things up and park your SUV in the garage.
As for higher ground, there isn't any.
