You left out fire ants. Big balls of fire ants.
Think I mentioned the cold on another thread. The cold would be a SHOCK to a Louisianan & it's only 8 or so weeks away. Heck, it shocks ME & I was born & raised here. IF they come they'll need lots of gear.
"Golf in the snow"? Do you play at the course in Madison?
Id like the head FEMA guy to be fired for starters. Everyone has some blame but FEMA should of had plans for this
Let's be honest here - sitting on our asses bitchin online about the hurricane isn't helping either.
It's just what we do.
Chill out.
Yup. Unlike Louisiana, we have Texas Rangers. And I'm not talking about the baseball team.
How tough are they? "One riot, one Ranger." That's the truth - one Ranger put down a riot in Dallas in the 1930s pretty much single handedly. And they haven't gotten soft since.
I never had a gun in my life until thugs broke into my son's apartment, help him up at gunpoint and beat him--just lucky he wasn't shot.
I bought a .357 Magnum the next day.
After witnessing the gangsters running wild in New Orleans, I will be buying a shotgun and, because my wife is petite and has trouble handling the .357, a .22 or something for her.
Riots could break out for any number of reasons. We see now what "Lord of the Flies" is really like. Even if you do not live in a big city, you need to arm yourselves. If ever you doubt that, play a tape of that New Orleans film footage over and over, and read about the rapes and the murders. Get that gun!
Thanks for the info. I will have to relate that to husband though. I can do the internet stuff but he does the other stuff...Together we make one person who knows something about computers...
Wow... lots of caring extended friends and family trying to keep the lines of communication open.
Joel Olsteen is on our local channel news here in Houston right now,,,,will be interesting to see how the race card plays with his very MIXED congregation here

That clown will be out of office (assuming NO still has a Mayor's office) after the next election.

Nope. He'll be NO's greatest hero and they'll build a monument to him. Don't you know failure for demoRATS is success?
They did this while it was occuring in this country?
"The snipers are the bad guys. The snipers are what is keeping the firefighters trapped."
we have 10000 dead in NO and no reports of anyone getting hit by a sniper.
there are hours of footage of firemen and police at a french quarter fire - no snipers.
This sniper smoke and mirrors is delaying relief that can save hundreds of lives.
Did you just see the report on Aarob Brown about the family that just bought a new house and hadn't moved in yet. Adopted seven members of a family and moved them into the house. Friends and neighbors were helping with food, clothes, etc,
I would just like to see Jesse actually do something for once in his life. I swear, the man has never worked a day. And he and his friends have made millions. Not to mention his dummy of a son, who's a Congressman.
I'm just trying to defend the reporters. Don't think they are doing a bad job at all . It's just a sorry situation.
Donated to Samaritans Purse this afternoon. Will donate more later.
:::So we are just seeing a tiny portion of the 900,000 acres that was damaged & the MSM is making it out to be the only city on the planet? One parish? If you ask me that's not even real reporting, it's just inciting people to riot.
Well excuse me while I go break something...the media frustrates me no end. :::
Yes, the Greater New Orleans area includes several parishes. The inner city crap you are witnessing is New Orleans Proper, the outlying areas are where the normal, educated people live. The rest of the city *is* worth salvaging. I lived there a while and the GNO area is great. There are lots of good, decent and hardworking people. It's not all ghetto slums.
Oh, you are smooth.
I find him extremely unimpressive (the Fema Head Guy) - don't even know his name. He can't even answer a question without looking shifty.
Ah yes, Gregoire's first response to a natural disaster indeed would be to raise taxes. It seems to be all she is good for.
Several different independent sources are reporting that there are dead bodies inside the Convention Center, including two infants who died of dehydration.
