KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Twenty-four young patients from a hospital in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans have been brought to Kansas City, flown in Wednesday night on two Missouri Air National Guard transport planes.

Children's Mercy Hospital of Kansas City agreed to take the patients, sending a team to New Orleans earlier Wednesday to start arranging the transfer from that city's Children's Hospital. The two hospitals are not affiliated, but Randall O'Donnell, chief executive officer of the Kansas City facility, is a longtime friend of his New Orleans counterpart and offered to do whatever was needed to help.
Do you remember that blogger who is in a highrise in downtown NO? What was his link or even his blogger site? I know you posted some of his webcam photos earlier today or yesterday. Curious to see how he fared the rest of today.
This being the case, due to your statement of FACT, combined with an unwillingness on your part to support every state in the Federal union; compels me to determine that, despite your service to this great country (which is appreciated immensely), it is appropriate to say KMA.
Keep track of this for later.
This is a big deal.
""These troops know how to shoot and kill, and they are more than willing to do so, and I expect they will," she said."
That's quite a quote, especially given the dithering of the last couple days. "More than willing to do so," it almost sounds like a backhanded slap at the military, as though they'd be pleased to shoot their fellow Americans. Of course, it's past time to restore order and deal with the thugs, but it just struck me as over-the-top wording.
"I would not be surprised to see a lot less people waiting around tomorrow.....operations continuing all night long...."
I know at least one thing. The military is now going to bust their balls to see that they get the job done and their Commander in Chief is put in a good light.

Another hurricane is Act X.
We're still on Act IV.
I advise being mentally prepared for more...surprises, stemming from this storm.
And then we will start hearing about Bush denying people their civil liberties.
.......with all due respect to cockroaches, but of course.
Thw cops turning in their badges and bugging out; didn't know about that.
I thought earlier reports said that they had been evacuated today? Sorry, it's hard to keep up.
I heard that somewhere tonight.
Thanks so much! This time I bookmarked it.
Elsewhere, Frans Coppers, 52, who has his own business investigating cargo damage claims for the shipping industry, fled his Garden District home Wednesday after two nights of scaring off thieves with a borrowed handgun.
"I had to leave," he said Thursday. "The last two or three days, the things I've seen, it's absolutely terrifying that people can do the things they're doing. People are stealing things that are absolutely useless to their survival. I could never have imagined the absolute disregard for life or property that's going on."
The day after the hurricane, Coppers said, he drove to check on a friend's house and saw people driving through the streets with pickups full of appliances and electronic equipment. He spent the night on the balcony of his second-floor condominium with the handgun and shouted away thieves trying to break into a restaurant next door.
Coppers said he had no problem getting out of the city.
"There were some groups of people staring at me, but I just held the gun up, and they didn't bother me," he said.
"Can you imagine? I never thought I would have been able to kill someone. It's hard to even say it. But if you're to the point where you have to protect everything you have, your life, I don't know, I might have been able to shoot."
