Oh, I see, you read the words "every single" into a sentence where they did not belong.
Where have you been? That point was reached between last Friday and Saturday.
Brett Favre has arranged for truck(s) to come down there loaded with chainsaws. At least he's trying to help. Scarborough is being a destructive blowhard.
Guess that's why Brett was named toughest guy in America and Joe wasn't.
you think people from other parts of the US are calling their congressman and telling them that NO should not be rebuilt? no way.
There was a 'survivor' earlier complaining that the meals were not heated. She was at the astrodome, complaining about conditions at the superdome.
Exactly. In this remote control society many people just don't understand what this is and just are outraged its not fixed right away. Of course the ineptness by the local officials are compounding the problem. But it's hard to fathom the magnitude of what has happened here unless you have lived in N.O., understand the terrain, stood on top of one of these levees and saw what Camille did in MS in 1969.
Thank you... I was taken aback and sat on my fingers rather than post something to get myself banned. I would not, could not, leave one of my dogs behind.
She is confused! They definitely are not uneatable, however they are definitely unexcretable! :)
You're riding a pretty high horse there.
Work quick, make sure to make it public when you find that.
I sure hope someone is still listening to Chuckie now...he promised the moon and stars to Katrina needs, and meanwhile went off the deep end about USSC Robert's nomination. There - boys and girls - is the blatant Katrina extortion.
She must not be that hungry after all.
> I think I now truly understand why Moral Values was the #1 issue for Americans in last years' election.
Makes you wonder if, despite the accusations of the ball being dropped by the Feds (i.e., Republican administration), that deep down, people will still vote Republican as the party of law and order and Christian morality.
In 90+ degree weather? Gee, just sit it out in the sun for a few minutes. THIS, FRiends, is what entitlement thinking does to people.
That's true. A huge amount of supplies were needed, and it seems that the city itself (despite supposedly having done a "disaster management plan" not long before) underestimated the needs and really had no plan in the first place.

D said: Now there is disgraceful welfare queen who needs to STFU. If MREs are good enough for the soldiers on the ground, they sure as hell are good enough for her whining ass. I've lived on MREs out in the field, and they are not that bad. What the hell did she want? The President personally catering her a lobster dinner? These people are pathetic.
I say: You people need to chill out. I saw this lady on TV that you are all trash talking and she was a nice old lady about 85 years old who was just talking like any old grandmother...please. God help us.
Interesting link...Governor Blanco's statement about Dennis heading their way and how they were confident it wouldn't hit, but read the last paragraph, it's laughable.
""While it does not appear that this storm (Dennis) will significantly impact our state, I am confident of our ability to carry out our state’s emergency and evacuation plans in a manner that protects the people of coastal Louisiana."

part of childhood is having your goldfish, your cat, your bunny rabbit, your dog, your gerbil die.
My solution, because no way should an animal be evacuated during something like this, is to do what I did when one of our kittens die.
Go out and find a damned double of snowball and tell the kid snowball is home and that if he seems different it is because he is upset.
Animals don't belong in refugee centers and on emergency helicopters or in busses.
It is awful, but this whole thing is triage and making hard hard decisions fast.
