Just got here a few minutes ago? What did Denny say? (TIA)
Clarence Thomas is missing?
I am just coming into this thread at this point... I literally got nauseous when I read the Drudge story about a child who probably had lost anything being separated from his pet. That's just not...American. What are they doing with those animals? I've been OK reading all the upsetting things that are happening but the idea of this little kid crying "Snowball" as they rip his pet away is making me ill.
Wow, great links! Thanks, I've been out of the loop, in and out all day.
In the meantime, I am watching the moron on MSBNC (Joe Scarb) he can't get off enough showing the chaos, the calamity, all footage that is 8 to 10 hours old.
All that continual footage of complaints of "people doing nothin'"" the NG, the mayor, where are they.... " unfortunately stops a lot of desire to help the needy and also reinforces some stereotypes. MSNBC ought to be ashamed.
KALB just interrupted programming with breaking news that three busloads of patients are en route from New Orleans to Christus St. Frances Cabrini Hospital in Alexandria. All Cabrini employees are required to report to work immediately for this emergency.
Here is a reporter in Biloxi who wasn't acting.
This is one of the most heartbreaking stories I've seen so far.

Multiple murders and multiple rapes every day in the Superdome. NOt enough National Guard to take care of incidents and still leave the doctors protected.
And those are the people headed to the Astrodome.
"To: jeffers
It's hard to comprehend, but it looks like the city officials told them to assemble there, and then just forgot about them ever since. They said they haven't seen or heard a word since they were
told to go there, and clearly no food or water drops either.
Not true. Picture of at least one drop is right here."
Right. Saw it after I posted.
Your "proof" proves that you are wrong. They were setting up a command post after 4 days in.
Yes, citywide because I am talking about New Orleans only.
Throwing their kids into the water? Actually that sounds about right. Did the man say who was piloting the boats?
Ignorance and desperation does not condemn one to hell, imo...
I think Scarborough just did... said he lived through the Florida hurricanes and they were handled with ruthless efficiency.
That's obstructionist bulldung.
Even nuclear fallout didn't stop the Japanese from rebuilding Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The evacuation should make New Orleans' urban renewal fairly easy.
Just condemn the properties and bring in the bulldozers to scrape the slums away. You could probably use a lot of the rubble to double the width and height of the levees. Come to think of it, that would also be a good way to dispose of those huge slabs of concrete that used to be the bridge across Lake Ponchatrain!
It must have been heart breaking to send your kids off with a stranger for survival, not knowing where they were going or who you were giving them to..
No, speech was at 8:45 or so, but should be a link to it soon.
Hell has frozen over!!
I don't know who I'm more incensed at, the rapist or Landrieu and Blanco.
I would be banned for life if I posted what I am thinking upon hearing this...
Prayers for ALL!
uhhhh..... the command is always civilian. At the request of the governor. Blanco ring any bells?
Lease let that sink in for a few moments.
