LOL. Ancient Chinese proverb says, "It is better to be master of the obvious than master of a home filled with eels."

Yeah..but she will be at both of LSU's final four showings next week..even take credit for it..her tireless work..yawn
but but but ray told them to stay in there homes. he said if they absolutely had to leave the superdome would be opened as a last resort. He said all of this on 8/27/06 at 10:45AM CST.
there homes = their homes
that picture of ray adversely affected my brain function.
Now that we have learned that "chocolate" mixed with salt water makes some really crappy cocoa, this might be a good idea.
Ignoring? That's right, blame the victims. Most of the people who ended up at the Superdome and Convention Center had no way to get out of the city when the long overdue evacuation order was finally given. Many were residents of poor neighborhoods where few people had working vehicles, not to mention that gasoline supplies were running out by the time. And of course the 1000+ school buses that could have taken everyone to safety were kept parked in their lots (except for the one that young Jabbar Gibson "liberated" shortly after the storm).
I hope the people have learned their lesson, that relying on government to save you is a very bad plan. However, for officials of the same government which has been encouraging and bribing them to be government-dependent for decades, to then turn around and blame them for government's miserable failure in a major emergency, is an obscene level of hypocrisy.
The 1200 school buses are ready and waiting to evacuate NO citizens.....still waiting. Maybe they will get a chance next time....if the election goes right!!
New Orleans is a swamp best given to the gators.
The IQ level would soar.
then they wouldnt have any of these problems.
We have 38 thousand refugee children enrolled in Texas schools. Texas has spent 350 million dollars on the NO refugees and Congress does not want to re-emburse.
They said the kids are all 2 or 3 years behind and thousands could be held back because they can't pass the Texas Assessment Knowledge Skills tests! TAKS, can't go on till you pass it.
Yes, the fact that LA children of all colors were so far behind Texas's rather dismal students certainly didn't get much msm coverage, did it? And it wasn't for lack of trying...Texas schools even ran extra tutoring sessions after school to try to get these children half-way up to speed, to no avail.
If Texas's schools have dismal ratings it is because of all the illegals enrolled and all the hispanic dropouts. My children in my city all received decent schooling.
Yup.
Too bad the MSM continues to blame the President of the United States for the incompetence of city and state leadership.
Louisiana is a fool's paradise only because of the leadership and the racist idiots who voted for it.
Otherwise, I would have no problem with living here.
It will be interesting to learn the unintended consequences of this decision. There will always be someone who misses the last bus out, or who has special needs and no communication. Their deaths will be blamed on someone. Pres. Bush won't be president past Jan. 2009, so we'll need a new scapegoat. Last August, NOLA tried to dissuade people from using the Superdome by calling it shelter of last resort and not having sufficient supplies. Look what happened.
