Hey Mayor Naggin', why didn't you get off your fat ass?
America was built by individual self reliance and innovation. It was not built by government planners!!!
If the American citizens and local leaders of 1776 and the 1800's had possessed the same attitude that the bureaucrats and politicians of today possess, then the West would never have been settled, because the wagons would have been declared unsafe inasmuch as Washington had not directed their inspection and approval.
Half the people would have to ride in the back of the bus, and that just ain't right!
Thank you! Geez, I'm getting flogged by all my Bush-hating relatives. Finally!
doh!
impeach the inept mayor. and the apparently inept and stupid citizens who stayed despite the warnings.
But he wants to blame everyone else.
Just remember mayor, you point your finger at someone, and there are 3 pointing back to you....
It is horrible that all of these busses were just sitting there when they could have been used to evacuate people. It's disgusting.
I've wondered that since Monday!
Also, does NO have public transit buses?
If so, why were they not used also?!!!
Hell, cattle cars on a train would have worked.
What I would like to know. While W was in Crawford (as so many point out)calling Nagin and Blanco, what were they doing on FRIDAY and SATURDAY? Plenty of time to go out into the neighborhoods with school, rta buses etc and pick people up or at least let them know were to go if they wanted Shelter. More food, water could have been deployed in the dome and not just rations for 2 days but for at least one week. knowing that electricty goes out and pumps fail as they do in heavy rain there, he could have had port-a-johns in the dome. It is easier for him to blame the Fed (W) than for him to take responsibility. Those are just a couple of solutions that could have been done to avoid the tragedy that has been unfolding since Late Sunday early Monday morning. I give him credit in some areas but he failed along with Blanco. The Good News is they are both Democrates (yes, politics, especially in La.)will play a big part of the blame game.
Just so you know, I thought Nagin, before Katrina was at least doing better than Mark Morial or his father had ever done.
A BTT. Just emailed a link to a few friends. Heh heh...
We have incompetents in power. Most of us are smarter and more resourceful than are they.
Great picture, I believe originally posted by TGSLtacoma.
"Why didn't you order mandetory evacuation Saturday or Friday? You knew it was comming? Or not?
Oh. I remember before Camille that emergency workers were going DOOR-TO-DOOR telling people to get out, or ask for information to give their next of kin.
You failed Mr. Mayor and Govenor for not ordering a manditory evacuation sooner. So stop pointing fingers at Bush.

More Buses here at New Orleans Tours Inc 4220 Howard Ave, New Orleans, LA 70125 - donno how much water there was at this location, but it can be cross referenced with other pics I'm sure.
mhking, here's one for your 'just damn' list.
When they start looking at what happened leading up to this mess the state and city officials(dems) are in huge trouble!
