I would think so... I hope they don't regret the decision. The flooding will only likely get worse from what I've heard.

The New Orleans Doppler either just took a hit or lost power.

However, he said the hotel locked them out. But I am willing to bet he will convince them to let him in.

Can't wait to see what he writes on his "guest feedback" card. ;o)

"IT'S ALL BUSH'S FAULT!"

I expect the DUmmies and the imams to blame this on Bush, our foreign policy, and as God's punishment of the red states.

You mispelled "catastrophic computer virus". Hope this helps.

Baton Rouge, a lovely place with all those gorgeous southern homes. I hope everyone remains safe there. A very good friend used to live there, but she moved to Washington.

Well, we need to keep reminding them that he was the one that had to call for an evacuation. He made the right decision too. Why didn't the mouthy senator do so?
