National Guard scanner says that the industrial explosion/fire is just burning off used oil. "not toxic".
Mayor Nagin giving Hell to Washington, the governor for lies,lies and more lies.
Can't be on Chartres then. It doesn't run south of the Quarter, it goes to the north.
Maybe down on Tchopitoulas?
To God Bless America, that rant was not directe3d at you, my apology for that.
I really am ready to fight. got to go to work though.
Bush really really dropped this.
Utter failure.
Historic, legacy type, always remarked on forever type failure. Its over for him.
FOX news: hundreds of people sleeping on highway overpass...no food or water...FEMA goal is to totally evac city by Saturday night...plaza outside Superdome packed with people waiting to get out of city.
There is blame to go around - but utter moral breakdown amongst the people is the cause - Americans are a free people, and when we can't take care of ourselves, when we turn on each other in the worst times of crisis - then no one can govern us well.
Looks like you're in the minority in blaming our President for the anarchy in New Orleans.
CBS Poll: 54% Approve, 12% Disapprove of Bush's Handling of Hurricane Katrina

Dang. To think we live in an age where if you can't get instant solid fixes after a major distaster on a scale that we've never had before, it's the president's fault.
Dang. At the best it takes three to four days to get set up to deal with anything this big. But we're geared to instant fixes, so the reality of logistics doesn't count.
Dang. Because the governor of the state is stupid about using authority, it's now a republican failure.
Dang. Go back and look at past catastrophes in the US. But no, the MSM would rather push the country to civil war and use the backs of people who chose poorly and got stuck in a hellhole of city in part because they were afraid if they'd left people would steal their stuff (and with good reason), to do it on.
Just dang.
This isn't the time to debate this.
CNN...police having problems dealing with fire due to security concerns...now saying it is at warehouse near RR yard...shots fired in area.
Very well said.
What we gonna do with the street thugs who don't want to leave - this is gonna get ugly whether we leave them there or let them out somewhere else - and already the buses are wandering full of dying refugees with the shelters in Houston at capacity - how many will die on the buses - the buses are sitting on the Astrodome parking lot full of desperate people - they are going to start dumping them on the streets . . .
I am reaching the point where I would tell people to get on their feet, and start walking if they want to get out, and then just cordon off the place, water and all, until the looters self-destruct.
"What we gonna do with the street thugs who don't want to leave "
I wouldn't worry about them -- dysentery, typhus, cholera, and other diseases will take care of them all in time.
PIFFLE..Get a Grip!
Myself, I would have been walking two days ago.
Send'em to all the major blue cities, and let them care for them. Send extra loads to Berkeley, San Francisco and LA while you're at it. And don't forget New York and Detroit while you're at it.
Disease (typhoid, cholera, dysentery) will take care of any who don't want to leave sooner or later.
LOL.
Good Morning.
