"but you're giving the media too much credit. "

Dammit. You're right. Anything more than "no credit" is way too much. I slipped.

Pres. Bush promised to get "power to the people!"

I caught that too. He sure has a unigue way with words. LOL.

It's "LeftStreamMedia presstitutes", not "MSM reporters".

Yup, just one of many tentacles of the leftist octopus that seeks to strangle us as a FRee people and seeks our destruction as a nation.

He made the point more than once- in subtle ways...that the LEADERSHIP in LA is VERY different than in MS and AL

Lisa Stark on ABC is now saying that the federal govt. can act only if the state requests help first, and this is one of the main reasons for the "slow" federal response.

Needs to be repeated. Thanks for posting.

I agree ncpatriot. Needs to be repeated early and often.

This is obscene. I do not understand how healthy people could be airlifted before those with life threatening illnesses.

If none of my NOLA office co-workers take me up on it, I have some room (a lot of room, actually) at my place in Allen. I have offered to my employer, first but I don;t know if anyone will NEED to take me up on it.

My company is doing the right thing: "You have a job. You have benefits. Don't worry about getting a check. Don't worry about your vacation or sick time; take as much time as you need. Can we help you find a place to live? Here is the contact for the EAP counselors." And so on.

Freepmail me if your Dad or if anyone else in your family needs a roof.

Not to dismiss this calamity as anything less than the disaster that it is... but on 9/11, politicians jumped all over themselves to get an average of over $1M per victim into the hands of the families. I wonder if anyone will dare to suggest something similar in this situation. I wonder if anyone else would have the nerve to say, "Bad idea."
