LOL! I'll bet Lorell was just as happy as can be to sit and soak up some AC on that bus.
Thanks for sharing that.
I saw Lorell. I thought he was priceless. An excellent example of a logical, thoughtful, and grateful young man, making the best of a terrible situation, not blaming anyone for this natural disaster. Giving credit were credit was due.
It just KILLED Wolfe Blitzer because Lorell was so positive.
I loved it, too.
I was watching too! Lorell ROCKED! I wonder what he does for a living. It would be great if we could track him down and help him find a new job out of New Orleans.
Thank God for Americans like Lorell.
I stopped posting and just watched the nightly news.
The cables are ONLY concentrating on the bad stuff; mostly in New Orleans.
They like it. They are stirring the pot, playing the race card, and, IMO, inciting this hatred and blame game.
If you watch the regular news, the NG is there, the water and food IS getting there; they ARE moving people out on buses to Houston.
In the outlying areas, help IS there. The people are NOT rioting; the people are NOT standing around waiting for somebody to help them; they are helping each other and working together; they are THANKFUL to be alive and thankful for the help they are getting.
If you watched the nightly news, you would have seen the story about the OTHER people in NO who have stayed in ther homes (or have found other places to stay, even squatting) and who have banded together to await help and rescue; they said that they think they could make it five more days WITH water they are finding. Yes, they are going through other homes for food and water, but they are NOT in the streets; they are living on the roofs of buildings, sleeping inside at night, because THEY are scared of the people in the street.
My point? We're WAY too hung up on the crap CNN, MSNBC, and NBC are feeding us. People in outer areas are COPING, people; they know this was a storm of gigantic proportions.
Now, two other personal opinions of mine (and scream if you want to, I'm beyond caring now)
First, as a prediction: when the buses arrive in Houston, Dallas, wherever, we are going to see the SAME things going on there that we are seeing in NO right now.
And, secondly, I am so furious about the reporters and the ingrates who are screaming on TV and who are driving this HATEFUL "Who is to blame" that I wanted to hire the Goodyear blimp and fly it over New Orleans and scream to them all
BTW, you all may have missed the best part of Wolf's show today.
Did you hear him say "They are just too poor and too black?
