Who are you insulting? Better save a post like that for an email. The complaining and cynicism is really getting getting ridiculous.

I just heard on the local news that the gas lines should be history by next week because we'll have plenty of gas. Thanks, Texas!! (and everywhere & everyone else who is working to supply our needs)

We had that report about Gulfport from a FReeper the other evening saying there were numerous bodies in trees when the waters receded. Also a report of many NG and refrigerated trucks going to Mississippi for body retrieval. They are now announcing just 150 dead in that state, but that number is grossly underreported.

I'm Southern Baptist and they have a great disaster relief group as well. Have had folks from my church travel all over to help.

He did what he had to do to save people. He'll like it here in Texas, I suspect.

And if LA has a problem with him borrowing a bus to do what their governor and the NO mayor wouldn't do, we'll give them the bus back - but we'll keep him. He's too good to be forced to go back there.

How hard would it be to deliver MRE's, bottled water, and maybe baby formula from helicopters?

Why do you ridicule this important information.

I ridicule them because they've both broken a couple of the Cardinal Rules of "journalism" (if there is such a thing anymore).

Both clowns, along with Drama Queen Shepard Smith have injected themselves INTO the story, and both clowns, along with Drama Queen Shepard Smith have decided to BECOME the story.

...hope that clears it up.

"Is she taking Linda Vester's place? Where has she been?"

Didn't Linda have another baby not too long ago? Perhaps on maternity leave? (Hope she'll be back, I like her!)

FEMA is supposed to have plans to evacuate an entire american city

No. But, I was hoping that our mighty federal government could have at least gotten water to thousands of naked, dying people stranded in the street in 95-degree heat within four days.

Bortz had a great rant. Check it out on his website.

Notice my tag line. I have always said this.

I am still waiting to hear about the firefighters and families holed up in the Bellsouth building in (can't remember name of town..I want to say Chalfonte, or something French-sounding). Snipers keep shooting at them whenever they try to leave.

Why aren't NG guys over there helping them yet?

What a terrifying situation.

So because they had no airline flights, they were supposed to take their chances on dying at their hotels in a CAT 5?

He did tell those who had to stay in hotels to stay at the 3rd floor or higher.

Problem came to be that the thugs took over the city, and the authorities lacked the force necessary put down the gangs.

We have created this kind of journalism though. We want drama and emotion in our journalism. Truth yeah, but we tune in with human interest stories and tune out boring rote drab reporting.
