FoxNews says 9,000,000 MRE's have been delivered to SuperDome. Weren't they supposed to have a bunch of MRE's stored there before the hurricane hit? What happened to them?

Did you see the 40ish woman they interviewed yesterday at the Superdome, who looked rested and clean, complaining that they had to eat MRE's.....and they "weren't even heated up." Complained that they weren't given "a hot meal since they arrived!" I could not believe she said that!

9,000,000 MRE's will feed 30K souls for 100-300 days.

Now you see why the 72 hour rule works. Don't mess around with one pallet. Move aid in in quantity.

Go Guard!

I know I was half asleep and can't even tell you what day it was, but I heard a fellow being interviewed on the radio who was in charge of concessions or something like that at the Superdome (he was "CEO" of something, I do remember that!) and he said something about there not being any food in the SuperDome prior to the storm and he didn't know of any plan that there was supposed to be any food. It may have been on Glenn Beck's program, I'm not sure. I know I wasn't dreaming it but I really don't have the details and I cannot remember the man's name.

The interview was around the time the SuperDome was being called the "(something) of last resort." It was "last resort" because there was nothing there but space to house all those unfortunate people.
