I think Shep has showered. He's in different clothing.

Thank you for giving me this information. I will add them to the list. I wish I had the technical skills to combine all of these lists into one, but it's wonderful to have these resources.

regarding the "blame game" - the dye is already cast on that, the MSM is moving in lock step with a predicatable attack. if tommorrow, every evacuee from NO was put up at a Marriott, it wouldn't make a difference. Once the media gets on a track like that, they simply craft and manipulate the news to fit the agenda. Notice how today, the reports about looters, and snipers shooting buses, choppers, boat rescue teams - are absent. When the Red Cross representative mentioned it to Jesse Jackson on Larry King, they all fell silent and moved on. It doesn't fit the agenda to show people that some component of NOs own residents are responsible for the problems.

Its best just to examine facts on the ground and take it as it comes; some good, some bad.

the political counter attack is going to have to be led by talk radio - it started today.

I heard they didn't have baths either until today. Now the water is there. Don't know what is fact.

because they can't relate to a "southern" problem...

If they can't relate than they have no compassion and love for their fellow American brethren.

At least to me (and all that I have spoken with up here in NYC and Long Island), a Yankee, this far more than a Southern Tragedy...it is an American Tragedy...

I already have the .357. It is not just the .357 cartrdige (although that is an issue for a small woman also), it is the size of her hand and the weight of the gun. She actually has a hard time holding the barrel up.

She can't even squeeze the trigger. I have taught her to cock the gun and shoot that way (double action), but she can not shoot from the trigger straight out.

She really needs a smaller gun (that packs a punch though) that can fit better into a small hand. Any ideas?

I'm a Sally Army girl, myself.
But we do things one-on-one mostly.
When I was a little girl, we needed social services and charity. Only problem was, folks thought we were stupid because we were poor.
If I hadn't met my husband, I don't know if I would have ever thought otherwise.

...and it was the Police Chief who said no food, no water, and 30,000 people.

Maybe the Police Chief has not been in communication with the Convention Center & doesn't have a clue what the conditions are there.

Have you noticed how we don't get answers to our questions too? Some people are not observant and will believe anything a Fox reporter tells them. I will believe Harrigan but I refuse to believe everything Shep and Geraldo have to say.

They change clothes, bathe with bottled water, and yet the people around them have no water? Give me a break!

Shep never said *he* was abandoned...he was trying to get help for the people on the overpass (before it arrived). I don't get the problem there?

Confused in California (grin).

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.


You stole the words floating in my head earlier today!

It’s very strange and maybe just coincidental. But have you noticed that it's the "Republican" Red states taking all the refugees from Louisiana?

Well what can I say. Geraldo is just interviewing. He got beside himself with the babies. He has a newborn at home. Professional? Maybe not. Geraldo? Yep. I still like him, but he is a drama queen.

Just curious, when did Amtrak stop running? The Crescent train leaves NewO daily.

Everyone has some blame but FEMA should of had plans for this

How in the hell do you know that this isn't the plan. Look, this is unprecedented. This is a nuclear explosion without the radiation. This is 92,000 square miles of total destruction. This is a hell of a lot bigger that what is happening in New Orleans. There are 2 million people out there that have lost everything and, once again, those that are adults are taking care of themselves until help arrives and those that are emotional infants are sitting on their hands waiting for help to get to them.

Let me ask you this. The super dome was at least shelter. There were literally 1000's of able bodied men in that shelter that could have at least organized themselves to keep the criminals from preying on the weak and protecting those that couldn't protect themselves. What did they do, the trashed the only shelter they had to the point of it being uninhabitable. Now we see able bodied MEN scrambling on to buses while women children and elderly are left behind. At this point there shouldn't be one damn male under the over the age of 18 in any of the shelters in Texas. They should all be in NO helping to get their wives kids and parents the hell out of NO.

I was being somewhat sarcastic. You would think he would share his water before shaving. Good question about where he goes to the bathroom -- what do they have set up for the crew to video, etc.?

Hello,

Most people that I know are aware of this disaster, however, none of them have followed it as we here on FR have. One of our friends called my hubby today and asked how the hell I knew so much about everything. Hubby directed him here. Another convert.

Glad to be here, still angry at the MSM, and the so-called leaders of NO and LA, MOgirl
