Here is an AP photograph that I'm shocked made in past the politically-correct content screeners:

"I ask gov. to shrink, back off, let go, pull back and quit taking my money. Are 'we' going to get that?"
No, Next question?
The victims of this natural disaster have committed the unpardonable sin of living while black, which doesn't bode well with either major party. Tough luck. No water or food drops.

Hard to disagree with you.
The only "super power" on the face of the planet, and we can't muster the resources to go in and pull these people out.
But at the same time, this should be a lesson to the rest of us.
Do NOT depend on the Government to help you in case of a real disaster be it natural or man made.
Keep your powder dry, keep an emergency evac plan handy, keep 10 to 15 days of food and water stowed nearby and enough ammo for a small war.
You may need it.
Any Republicans who have the intestinal fortitude, aka "ballz," should be ramming the lessons of this nightmare down the throats of the stupid American public. Politicizing a tragedy? No, teaching valuable lessons, if they dare.
Experience is an expensive school, but fools will learn at no other.
"What are these dumb@$$es going to do when their welfare check doesn't come? Oh, right, no problem -- they aready sat on their butts and perished because their liberal government didn't serve them the Perrier to which they were entitled...
Hello, Darwin!"
What percentage of New Orleans citizens are on welfare of some sort of social assistance?
Remember the Crown Heights riot?
My nephew was right out of the Police Academy. He was assigned there, but Dinkins wouldn't let the cops go in.
He was a disgrace.
Good question! It appears that the NOLA website (http://www.new-orleans.la.us/home/)
that may hold clues to the answer is without power right now...
An eery resemblance, what with all the voodoo..
"...keep 10 to 15 days of food and water.."
Yes - this obviously shows that the 2-3 days recommended by the gov't is not enough. Of course - if your basement pantry is flooded or the gas pipe blows up your stash in the garage your still in trouble. I guess in a flood prone area supplies in the attic would be wise. And seperate locations (including sheds) for earthquake prone areas in case part of the house collapses.
In this later FR article, the statement is made that, "27.9% of New Orleans residents are below the poverty line,". That might provide some clue as to the answer to your question...
Well, he & Marshall Dillon should get together and enforce martial law.
paging Snake Plissken and Mad Max Rockatansky (how many of you knew Max's last name?)
You have a link for martial law being declared?
An ignorant misspelling of martial law?
Well I guess that settles that.
Marshall Law will just have to strap on his six-shooters and haul you to the pokey.
I would never make this erroneous assumption but that's just me.
Sounds like something a white man would say. It's the white man's fault after all, so he should be scared.
What the hell is your problem? I've been following these hurricane threads and over and over on just about all of them you've been at everyones throat. Do you need to switch to decaf? Are you off your meds? Are you just an A-Hole? You do need to STFU.
