NO was a cess pool. Hopefully this will help some of the folks to a new better life. The kind of society that produces some of the animals we have seen the past few days, doesn't need to be rebuilt.
More of the same problem which the media and others can't understand. The LOCAL framework is essential for the system to work. The state supports. Both must practice their plans consistently to be effective. The feds merely get plugged in.
The problems in Louisiana are Louisiana's failure, not Bush.
No. The quote from Shep was a misquote. They weren't "locked" in, the road was blocked. Two completely different concepts.
Don't think any authorities would lock people in & risk a fire or other trouble a la New York Triangle Fire. Thus why I thought Shep was exaggerating
If you all think Geraldo and Shep were bad tonight...tune in to Scarborough...sickening..
see my 1396.
"Bluetooth-enabled" internet might work with a PDA.
Well, you are the one laughing. I am not.
Edward R. Murrow anyone?
I was laughing at YOU. YOU are the joke.
and it was sarcasm but I guess that you can't grasp that, as well as the fact others have emotions and react differently.
I don't wonder what those people are saying anymore. They are vile, driven by so much hate for based on lies from the left wing that they are beyond bringing into the debate.
I sincerely hope their vile hatred influences their ability to breed. No child deserves to grow up in an environment of utter personal hate day by day.
Right Mike. And I bet they are witnessing a lot more than they can ever put on tv - even cable.
Only "seems" to be? I said on one of the earlier threads that this reminds me of the '77 blizzard in Chicago, where all the money that was supposed to go for blizzard planning went to a Machine crony and the "plan" was still warm from the Xerox machine when they finally ginned one up after most of the snow eventually melted.
Today I spoke to several people who evacuated New Orleans at various times, Saturday through today (this one from his roof, by helicopter -- he had stayed to care for his ill, elderly mother). These people have suffered tremendously. Just to hear about it over the phone was very difficult. I can't imagine what it would be like to witness it in person. Even reporters have hearts. To some, it may seem unprofessional, but I find it hard to criticize them. It takes a tremendous amount of courage just to be in New Orleans at this time.
I feel much more optimistic today than I did yesterday. Perhaps it's because I had my first real meal today at a restaurant next to my building in downtown Jackson -- salad, broccoli, squash, zucchini, turnip greens. These may seem like ordinary things to many people, but they weren't available at my grocery store yesterday, and we are 200 miles from the devastation on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I haven't had a green vegetable since Sunday, so it was wonderful.
The most encouraging news for central Mississippi is that the gas shortage may be easing somewhat as supplies are becoming more plentiful. This is good, because the Mississippi economy has taken a real hit, and we don't need a "disaster within the disaster" as the Clarion-Ledger editorialized today. My neighbors spent the night lined up for gas, and were lucky enough to get 10 gallons at 7:45 this morning -- after waiting since 11:00 p.m. last night.
Thanks to those of you who keep these threads going and to all of you who are contributing money and offers of help to us here in the South.
36 people from our New Orleans Office are still unaccounted for. I am going to look for them on the various missing persons websites this weekend. Hopefully, they are alive, but just unable to communicate.
Nonsense.
WDSU reporting 200 confirmed deaths in Jefferson Parish.
Oh hell he wouldn't be milking the one body then. But what if he did see hundreds of bodies. This is the greatest disaster in our history and with that comes death and if this pans out like officials are saying it could be in the 10s of thousands. If these guys can't wrap their minds around it and keep some semblance of calm then they should get the hell out.
ok. I'm checking with Staples tomorrow
He also said he was told by the Governor that 40,000 people were coming to help.
He said "Don't lie about 40,000 people coming to help"
I pray for him. I don't blame him at all.
I think he is realizing that he could have risen to the occasion, but he was ham-strung (on purpose?) by the Governor.
I don't care what they think. Just wanted to know how they would justify that one. Ya know. For a laugh.
