Then, just to pile it on Cesar Chavez is telling his people today that Bush abandonded these people to drown and isnt doing anything because he's incompetent.
No refrigeration needed
I am thinking,,why the promises "NO will be rebuilt",,why the rush to fix the levees?
There needs to be a serious thought about whether to rebuild or not. And if rebuilding, how to do it.
I like the Venice idea. And those lagoons in Venice are filthy so we wouldn't even have to worry about the water, just the mosquitoes.
Yeah. Venice has no flooding problems.
Probably makes more sense now that the old Venice, LA is gone.
Underwater?
Gone, underwater... non-existant.
Yea and one of those new flashlights they advertise that don't need batteries, you just shake it
Doesn't Benson still own the Saints? He wanted to move them to San Antonio earlier but LA came up with a package he couldn't refuse. Cannot feature if he still owns them the Saints ending up in Los Angeles. I know it is off topic but sports are a great way to relax! :)
Do you think ALL those folks around him asking where to go where just as clueless? Do you think the cop or the State Police Lady was clueless? All they had to do was answer the question.
One of the folks said they ahd been told to go one place and when they got there they people in charge in that area told them to go someplace else.
I think you guys are down on Shep because he is asking tough questions and making those in charge look like idiots. I could care if it is for ratings or not. The Point is They should be able to at least make an attempt to do something, in both instances NOTHING HAPPENED!
Shep was right to report it.
Thank you. That tells me I am still serving and living up to my tagline.
Dallas and Houston are also opening up school enrollment to refugees for their kids. I hope Austin area school districts do same, etc. I think Texas, as a compartively "rich" state can absorb most of the refugees. Maybe even convert a few to full blown Texans.
Where what might be?
And if I, Brad's Gramma could, I'd give you an Emmy, Oscar & whatever and all awards out there. ;) WAY TO GO!
People who had followed the advice to evacuate and driven themselves -- obviously couldn't afford shelter themselves -- are being turned away from the Astrodome because they're not the "right" evacuees. I understand there is a logistical problem with the Astrodome only able to to hold so many, but that was very disturbing, especially as these people had done the smart thing, but now were stranded. Said they were told there were already shelters open that could handle them, but they couldn't find any and no one could give them an answer on where to go.
Yes. Benson owns the Saints. But the NFL wants a team in Los Angeles, not San Antonio. It isn't completely up to him on this one.
correction: survival
Wasting your time -- I posted all these emails about what the military has been doing and never a response after he was pestering me for more!
