I would be concerned about Houston. Is there a chance they'll turn these people away?

That being the case, who is going to pick up thier tab for their welfare checks now? The state of Texas? Just curious.

This is going to create such a hardship on the states that have accepted these people. I think NO should foot the bill since they created the problem.

I hate to inject politics into this. But take a look at the the Dems and the media are already trying to do on this. then tell me what you think would happen if we had news footage of Apaches and Cobra helicopters ordered by Bush to fly over NO shooting people.

starting turning up the heat on Blanco I say - start having FEMA and Chertoff go out there and start trash talking her for not use her state authority to restore civil order, and thus hampering the relief efforts. start right now, we need to tag someone with this - that someone is the dimwit Blanco.

The rule ranchers use to take care of predatory species that are protected by Federal statute should be done by the police and National Guard to take care of these biped predators: shoot, shovel, and shut up. (In New Orleans, shoot, let float, and shut up may be a better rule.) Just keep the reporters and their cameras holed up downtown and take care of business.

As do I... I would hope they ALL have better sense than that. I believe in this administration's ability to help these people recover from this.

What? That she laughed at a funny play? She is Secretary of State, not the FEMA director.

Sheesh. People have become so brittle.

great post AIT

and

PTL!

Just heard from my friend Fred who DID EVACULATE to his daughters in Jax.

He may also eventually be able to return to his home in Miss.

Something to smile about today!

"I am angry almost to the point that I am thinking that we should liquidate these bastards."

Actually, many of them probably ARE bastards, and that's part of the problem.

This city is underwater.

Not everywhere. There are cars and buses rolling through parts of it.

Not at this point -- I'd suggest contacting the local Red Cross here, or perhaps your own church. Many of the churches I've heard about here are working through the Red Cross and the United Way.

Dunno exactly that the Secretary of State would contribute at this point.

If they're Luters (properly Luthiers) and they're playing en masse in NO, seize their instruments, break the things over their heads, THEN shoot them.

Just be glad the flautists are not flouting the law!

What is the pathology that causes them to shoot at rescuers?

This reminds me of Iraq in so many ways.

Yes. That was on WWL-TV and their website last night.

WEll, you know, if the refugees import crime to Houston, then , yes. They should be turned away. Why import problems.
Sad situation any way you look at it.

re: So, the Red Cross worker overuled the judge......good luck, Houston


The Judge in this case is not a jurist in the traditional sense. In Texas, the position of County Judge is actually the chairman of the County Commissioners, legally known as Commissioners' Court. A county judge, especially in a large urban county such as Harris County (Houston), is more of a county administrator than a presiding judge in a court of law. This position is often held by a non-lawyer, and, to my knowledge, does not have any traditional judicial authority. (someone with greater knowledge of Texas law can correct me on that)

As county judge of Harris County, Judge Eckels is chairman of the board that runs the Astrodome, as well as has a significant role in coordinating any disaster response in the Houston area.
