well Hemmer just said good news it has weakened a bit - but then Bastardi said no way it really hasn't

Amazing that people STILL think the only end product is gasoline...and even more amazing...they still haven't gotten a grip on the fact that a gallon of gatorade is more expensive that a gallon of gasoline...they just haven't consumed 30 gallons of gatorade week after week after week after week...any time lately.

The reason they want to open the oil reserve is too make filling up their gas guzzler less painful...for a few weeks.

There's no question that the Congress will spend whatever it takes to rebuild the city. And it would be nice if some of the Eurotrash ingrates who called us "stingy" 8 months ago will shut their pieholes and send food and cash.

CNN showing different things in New orleans and talking about the story. They call it Doomsday scenario.

I've been watching Fox. Has CNN blamed it all on Bush yet?

Here's the correct lyric, straight from the writer John Fogerty: "Sometimes I write words to songs because they sound cool to sing. Sometimes the listener doesn't understand what I'm singing because I'm dedicated to singing the vowel, having fun with the word sounds coming out of my mouth. `Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis, pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans,' is a good example. I think Tina Turner sang `tane' instead of `pain,' as in a contracted form of octane. But I knew what she meant," Fogerty said."

There'd have been lots of traffic at the last minute regardless. I'm all the way across the country and have never heard the mayor or governor speak and I've known for a couple days a bad storm was coming and they should get out.

What I don't understand is why they aren't using all lanes to head out of town, and why in one shot, they appear to be congesting into only one or two lanes of a 10 lane freeway.

I agree with you, I am regurgitating what was being posted on another forum and trying to answer the question at the same time.

I am more in line with her being annular and just flucuating, but wanted to present all sides to keep everyone informed.

Joe Bastardi on FoxNews is giving a very animated discussion on the hurricane. Says barometric pressure is more of a key indicator than wind speed. At 904, this hurricane has still not shown any signs of weakening even though the wind speed was down a little on the last flyover.

What gripes me is that we are paying at the pump on futures, not actual cost.

I have friends who live on Biloxi Bay about 1/4 mile from the beach...they left a wonderful home to stay in Waynesboro about 50 miles inland..

My cousin at Tulane left yesterday.

My cousins in Golden Meadow are long gone.

and my Aunt and cousins on Mobile Bay are hunkering down in an old masonry craftsman style bungalow built like a pillbox above the Fairhope pier.

and the rain is expected even here in nashville soon.
