Geraldo meeting the convoy?

Is he running down the road yelling "Ashley, Ashley, you're home!!" GWTW for those who don't know!

"Is he running down the road yelling "Ashley, Ashley, you're home!!"

LOL, and I would tell him, "Frankly Scarlet, I don't give a damn"

Is he running down the road yelling "Ashley, Ashley, you're home!!"

He would be if he had thought of it first, cajungirl. I think he just announced that the 4th ID had arrived. Ah, Geraldo...larger than life....

IIRC, you were called into work and you are involved in medical field? If I recalled correctly, what's going on in your general location? I'm hearing the talking, bobbing heads saying the Astrodome is turning people away like the cold, heartless "bastids" they must be. Actually, I believe the Fire Marshall allowed the limit and then Red Cross and whoever else is in coordination with the moving of buses just started moving people to Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Huntsville and probably other Texas cities as well. Ill and infirm are being absorbed into Texas Medical Center and outlaying Houston hospitals. I guess the talking heads want the Fire Marshall to pack the Astrodome and have a repeat of the Superdome.

"Think, talking heads, think. You don't send traumatized, sick, starving people from the horror of the Superdome and put them into a situation that is just as bad by overpacking them in the Astrodome. You try to make the situation better."

Does anyone in the news feel the need to follow up their statements that the Astrodome is turning people away with the reality that the Astrodome has reached capacity and the people are being sent to other facilities?! No one is being dumped into the streets of Houston to wonder wildly...they are being taken in somewhere where they can be fed, clothed and taken care of...a friend of mine who works in Houston said his company,many Houston companies and the local "conservative" radios station and the TV stations, the churches, and on and on and on have raised millions of dollars and are collecting food, clothes, toys, diapers, hygiene products for orderly drop offs at select locations around town.

Gosh, cajungirl...it is not awesome when you know what the reality is and then watch what the "news" people are throwing out there! What happened to journalistic integrity?! Today's "journalists" have made parodies of themselves, IMHO.

Maybe once hair gel and mousse, etc. entered the equation, straight reporting dropped down to a lower priority. Well, at least they have provided me with a new tagline.
