Thanks for your post. I seem to recall a story of a teenager who was hailed as a hero for driving a school bus full of folks from New Orleans, to Houston, at that time.

Give black liberal Democrat (redundant) a microphone and see real stupidity in spades.

Why ‘Don’t We Support Transportation Infrastructure?’

Because we're too busy building bridges, roads, and schools in other countries for people that hate us.

“”Trains are pre-1950s technology.””

True.

They are also pre 1850s technology.

But wouldn't everyone feel better with a flooded railyard full of unused train cars during a disaster instead of nasty old buses?

I was going to say I was in before that picture, but I wasn’t fast enough.

Every time I hear a hurricane is on it’s way, what I really want to do is get on a train headed to Miami. /snort

[boycott]

According to the mayor, New Orleans was a “chocolate city.” So don’t blame whitey.

Somebody needs to make these clowns understand.

Just because someone hands you a microphone doesn’t mean you’re in the stupid bee finals.

1,833 deaths directly or indirectly.

Discount any and all things said by this loon.

Don't you dare hook my State to NOLA....it's bad enough this stupid train will go from Miami to Orlando.

[Proud2BeRight]

Are school buses considered a public form of transportation in an emergency?

Unfortunately I live in the same TV market as Corinne Brown's district (Jacksonville). As a result I have to hear her speak on the local news on a regular basis.

Even compared to other Congress-critters, Corrine doesn't have so much as a nodding acquaintance with clear thinking. She makes Hank Johnson (Guam tipping over) look like a bleeding genius and Debbie Washerwoman Schlitz look like Miss America.

Over 200 buses in that pic, total for the lot is probably over 300. That is transportation infrastructure already in place. Democrat city leaders decided to not use it."

However the mayor did take advantage of the week long warning to move his family out of New Orleans into an up scale condo in Dallas.

[eyedigress]

Damn Corrine, doubling down on STUPID are ya?

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Oh gawd, we bought a beautiful mobile home when i retired from ministry...there were conservative congress crittes all around Jacksonville..but we ended up in a tiny sliver of land that runs from Jacksonville to inner city Orlando and it is corrine browns district...they re drew the district and we are still in it...its like living in a bad dream over and over...please pray for us FREEPERS!

“What do you call building a coastal city below sea level? Not so smart.”

New Orleans was built below sea level prior to American Revolution.

Had New Orleans not been built where it is, there is no telling who would have ultimately controlled everything west of the Mississippi.
