listen to this guy on OReilly now at a hospital - begging everyone for security - mayor, governor - they will not move on it.
Busy. Just wondering if cajungirl made out OK
Did anyone just hear Olberman on MSNBC? "That Limbaugh.." and "he doesn't get it." He is going to get it tomorrow.
The Stand is a great novel. And I did get all the way through that book as well, as opposed to some of his later ones.
Again, reading those type of post-war/post disaster books would have been good brain food for many of today's planners, as I wrote earlier.
I feel better now. < /Sarcasm >
All is well - that is wonderful news! So very good to hear your cousin is safe after being clobbered by the long arms of nasty Katrina.
And not be crying? What is your point? How do you know that they are not thanking God that they are not in NO?
I am not trying to be argumentative but your statement, whether you intended it to be or not, is condescending, that is not my assumption, it is self-evident.
She posted this afternoon from BR. I believe she is fine and dandy.
giving big kudos to the military evacuation. listen to this, helicopters trying to land met by 100 thugs with guns, had to pull away.
Olberman is a complete tool.
The tourists being abused inside the convention center are being HELD HOSTAGE. They cannot leave of their own free will (if they are still alive). Hopefully they will still be alive if the police go in.
Buried in the NY Times:
The police superintendent, Eddie Compass, estimated that perhaps 100 armed people were inside the convention center and that he was considering a plan to restore order there with a force of perhaps 500 police officers and national guardsmen.
Mr. Compass said that some stranded tourists who had sought shelter at the convention center instead found trouble. "The tourists are walking around there and as soon as these individuals see them, they're being preyed upon," he said.
Last I heard, all 7 people who stayed on Grand Isle are accounted for. Structures on the island were hit hard by the storm, as one would expect.
Nurse, great summation of the day's events. Very well done.
Cajungirl has been posting today
"What students is he going to rescue?"
Probably the sons and daughters of the people who have benefitted from the Rainbow Coalition. What about the poor African Americans who are supposed to be Jackson's constituency?
He's quite the avid hunter, so I'm sure he'll go in armed. I'm most concerned about the time after he lands and before he gets back to the plane. The potential for trouble is obvious.
I think he needs someone to stay with the plane. If he hasn't already gone and this is a weekend rescue, I think I'll volunteer to go with him. I'll guard the plane while he gets his FIL. A few shotgun blasts should be all that's needed to discourage a hijacking from occurring.
You know Harrigan has been doing a wonderful job. He has been through so much emotionally gutwrenching garbage in Iraq that he is very professional in handling his assignment. Shep is too emotional and some of the others are also. Jeff Goldblum seems better at handling the horrors before him. I think Fox needs to rotate these people out before they have breakdowns on the air. I think little Molly Henenberg was doing a good job today, she is very gutsy,and savvy but never loses her feminity. No one person among us can handle this stuff the first time out, and a constant barrage of this tragic scene cannot be tolerated.
At our core, we are all savages.
Don't be surprised when society falls apart and we respond like our nature would entail.
