[Howlin]

Let's not fight over HOW MANY, okay?

[oceanview]

I don't think so.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Mr. President, may we PLEASE now have the USMC Snipers on the ground, and have our American international prestige and believability back again??? Please?

[ican'tbelieveit]

Are you saying the coast guard pulling thousands of people off their roofs starting Tuesday morning weren't motivated enough?

Are you saying the police that did try to hold and protect positions in NO from day 1 weren't motivated enough?

You are a victim of what the media wants you to think is happening.

[don-o]

What the hell is wrong with people? Kill them, mow them down, eradicate them and hang their bodies in the town square.

Off line most all day, so forgive, but how many boots and how much firepower we got in?

[Right_in_Virginia]

Thank God. The President was safer in Baghdad.

[Ohioan from Florida]

LOL... I see at least one other Freeper understands how I feel about Scientologists.

[steveegg]

True. I want them all smacked upside the head.

[Dolphy]

Hell, we went without that long in an ICE STORM!

Tens of thousands of us did the same here in Western Michigan a couple of years ago. I guess if I would have leaned out my window and shot my neighbor or gone and broken into a few stores that would have been the federal government's fault for not having called in the national guard, huh?

I'm sick of this...Breaux is on Hannity saying that the mayor and governor can't do it all on their own. What the hell? What have they done? They didn't lose control at the edges, they had no control at the center from day one.

[AnAmericanMother]

Thanks! I'll go check it out.

[Miss Behave]

Good news overall. Stay the strong and good mother that you are.

[Coldwater Creek]

I live for going to visit relatives in OKC. They have the best thrift stores in the oountry. I get all kinds of good things with the tags still on them for next to nothing. Even my teenage grandaughters will wear the things that I bring to them.

[Howlin]

The thing is, Hannity won't challenge him; even "our" people are joining in the misinformation and trashing.

[cgk]

There're a few of us here. ;)

[myprecious]

coastal destruction in two states

Make that 3 states. Over 120 miles of coastline, up to 30 miles deep of utter devistation. Uncomprehensible in scope.

[Coldwater Creek]

And they are getting on my last ragged nerve.

[Howlin]

I'd like a substitution, please:

I'll give up Anderson Cooper for JOE SCARBOROUGH.

[Right_in_Virginia]

I'm sick of this....Breaux is on Hannity saying that the mayor and governor can't do it all on their own.

The mayor and governor could have come up with a plan to evacuate their citizens. Or, at the very least, they could have called Jeb Bush for some advice.

3:34 P.M. - (AP) The evacuation of Superdome refugees was interrupted briefly when school buses rolled up so some 700 guests and employees from the Hyatt hotel. They were move to the head of the line to be evacuated -- much to the amazement of those who had been crammed in the stinking Superdome for days.

.....If true, not good in a sense. No better way than to get a class war going, real good, with the hothead gangbangers, rapists and looters in the vanguard. They can, and will, whip up the crowd into a frenzy. John Edwards would at least feel real at home

I heard that a lot of those people where from UK.  Hyatt had buses out before but they got commandeered to go to the Dome.  Some of them got in touch with the BBC........ or so I heard.....

 

[Jrabbit]

From what I'm hearing on the scanner.....nobody knows who is in charge.
