It's been more than 8 hours. You asserted in #33:

Betting riots start in other areas of the US in 8 hours from the time TV picks up on this

Have any evidence yet for your assertion which makes it true?

I'm broadcast live in front of a pre-recorded studio audience.

I do not! And I am glad you were right, I do think that making the evac of NO a race issue still has the potential to cause massive unrest

Jackson questioned why Bush has not named blacks to top positions in the federal response to the disaster, particularly when the majority of victims remaining stranded in New Orleans are black: "How can blacks be locked out of the leadership, and trapped in the suffering?"

Over the top, even for Jesse.

"The very first warning was – “If you live in low lying areas that are susceptible to flooding, or if you live in coastal areas susceptible to storm surge – GET OUT. Seek high ground."

A particularly important point when the nearest "high ground" is the Mississippi River!

The pictures of the school buses sitting in 2-3 feet of water is a particularly damning critique of the mayor and governor, and just closes the door on the "we too po' to get out of NO like the rich white people!"
