Not to mention the fact she's from NO.
Yeah! I heard that on the Tony Snow Show this morning.
Portions of Highway 90 lie crumbled.
They know that her name is "Dora," so I 'spect she's OK.
CNN: San Antonio to accept 25,000 refugees.
I'm not. Anyone can see for themselves on the TV screen.
Look, most of the fed response has been wonderful and amazing. But there are legitimate questions as to the size and timing of the arrival of sufficient security forces. And no doubt there is much going on behind the scenes, and it is ultimately going to be just a question of time, not if. But whether or not anyone wants to admit it, the longer the lawlessness is visible to viewers across the country and the globe, with rescue efforts appearing to be at a standstill, the more patience will run out. Fair or not.
I suspect the Pentagon wouldn't announce it unless it was already done and they're en route. (I know those from Massachusetts are.)
The sad tragedy is that people who might want to help these people will start having seconds thoughts when they realize what they might be letting into their homes and cities.
Yes, I was thinking about the reports of them shooting at the rescue boats.
Most of the aid trucks I have seen have been Salvation Army. I am donating today. They are Johnny on the spot.
Helping coordinate the foreign aid pledges? Or at least simply thanking them.
Can't other states help? Have they offered to help?
Obviously Texas is helping --not only in Houston. Dallas' Reunion arena is housing more refugees, and a Fort Worth Hospital is taking some of the evacuated patients from hospitals in NO. Texas' Governor Perry has opened up Texas schools for refugee children--and from what I hear there's a lot of them already signing up.

and
:( I know. Miserable wretches.
They are just sitting around doing nothing, give them a broom and shovel and get to work.
It's worth mentioning that in '92 that President Bush was accused of not acting promptly enough after Hurricane Andrew hit.
Now whether that was true or not, sometimes the story carries more weight than the truth.
Bush is gonna take a hit on this, I believe. There are already the accusations that federal money was diverted away from improving NO's levee system for other purposes, likely the war.
I can already picture the DNC TV ads during the mid-term elections in '06.
well, the scale is apparently enough to halt ALL rescue and relief operations. no boat rescues, no buses leaving the superdome, etc.
Some more recent studies actually think the real total for the Galveston storm was more like 12,000 and that there just were no good records of the mass burials kept. That the 8,000 figure just included part of the mass burial sites and didn't include people that were never found.
Thomas Arguell holds MREs for his family that were distributed to residents in Gulfport.
Something she can do (and probably has been doing) just as easily in New York; even more countries have a presence there thanks to the UN's presence.
