The snipers are the bad guys. The snipers are what is keeping the firefighters trapped. No mercy. No capture, trial and incarceration. Summary execution for the perps.

I agree completely. I say feed these terrorist thugs to the gators, snakes, bears, etc out in the bayous.

Geraldo and O'Riley are showing live footage from hell holes that have had no relief for 4 days. Why do you ridicule this important information.

"Finally! Someone else noticed Shep does not have a beard and his face is clean shaven!"

Ive been noticing, and the clean change of clothes too.

Im sure FNC is airdropping the razors and clothes.

It is stupid to be wasting time arguing about it, better to go down tomorrow and volunteer at the shelters.

Good luck.

Right now I'm watching the Oreilly rerun. The Police Chief is saying these things. THe police chief is being loud and angry. If they don't have their facts straight, its because this is what they are being told. The chief said no people have been evacuated. No buses. No food. No water. This is the police chief saying this. The people at the Convention center are on the street. Not sure where the parking lot is. I know some water and food was distributed. But from the sound of the cop, nothing has happened.

No, she's not a talk show host. She did traffic and stuff for KFI in Los Angeles forever. Then when the VanDam trial came up she covered that for John & Ken's afternoon show, then they sent her to do the Peterson thing and Fox had her as one of the coorespondents for them at the same time. She and Gretta became really good friends through this and she covered Jackson trial for Fox (probably KFI, too).... so, now Gretta probably got her a job with Fox and she is on board now,.

What has the NAACP done or any other racists black group.

What they always do: make matters worse.

Are you for real? Shep reported what he SAW with his own eyes. Would you not want to kill someone if you had been waiting at the Superdome in filth for days to catch a bus out of town with your family, and then some people drove right up and were placed at the front of the line?

I imagine I would think that anyone getting out before me was simply better off than me.

You see somebody in Hell with a Pop-cicle you gonna ask the Devil, "Whas' up with that?"

HAH! Very good.

Both armchair generals. Well, at least Geraldo gets out of the chair and goes on the scene now and then.

O'Reilly is just a lazy buffoon who loves the sound of his own voice. And falafels.

Wasn't he just the greatest! I love people that think on their feet, take charge and not sit around and say what is the gov't going to do for me. Maybe they should elect him the next Mayor!

The poster is right to celebrate that some buildings are still standing. These buildings give hope to a lot of people around the nation. And I agree with the poster.,p> You think buildings give hope...I think the pic of a baby being passed to the front of the line gives hope.

Or do you think that because the poster did not include a usual "liberal PC-standard Caveat" that the poster doesn't care about people?

No. I just asked why they were celebrating at this time. After the people have been evacuated is the time to look for landmarks.

I mean.. c'mon.. should the poster have said: "Some of my best friends are evacuees, and I'm so glad to see some great buildings and places in NO made it through" ? ?

Whatever???

Kathy, The only good solution for "off grid" internet is Satellite.

I became aware of it in the months following 9/11.

I was fishing in Baja California that fateful day, and stayed abouty five extra days due to the airline shut-down.

About a month later, hurricane Josephine slammed the tip of the Baja Pennensula.

There was a Baja BBS regular in Todos Santos that had a generator and Starband Satellite Internet. Bajabus posted conditions hourly, while Josephine stalled off shore and lashed southern Baja for three days!

Let me tell you, this was the most gripping stuff I've ever seen online, till Katrina.

I've been looking into it for Beach Camping in Baja. The satellite modems run on 120 VAC, so a good generator and power conditioner are in order.

Starband and Direcway are the two big players/providers. There's also Dustyfoot a portable tripod based solution.

Solar panels would do the trick too, though you'd need storage (battery bank), and an inverter.

The only weak link is the uplink site for the satellite service.

Blanco press conference just now:

going on and on about a "foundation she has set up for people to send money. Says today was a good day for us, we are all feeling a lot better"...

This woman needs to resign now.

get real, I am disappointed in him, I expect so much more.

Hahhahahha... yeah, right... you'd never miss a Bush-Bash. You'd be funny if you weren't so predictable.

You probably did not see her on tv.

She blames it all on Bush. Every misery on Earth is his fault, in her mind, probably.

The idiotic, ignorance of that thing called a person just sucked away all my pity for all those people for a moment.

I'm over that now. They are people, all of them, even her.

But damn !

We can't survive long as a country with many people like that woman being tolerated.

Exchange her for a Mexican !

I want Bush to use all his power, and all his agencies and military to rescue those people stranded on those hwys.

It's got to be done right or he'll never recover from this, they will blame him no matter what.

Plus, it's just basic humanity to help those people, food, water, information - precious commodities for life.

That Police Chief is absurd. No people evacuated? Then how did all those thousands get to Houston? What a total waste of skin he is.
