there was one earlier with a guy who honestly believed that the buses were there, only they were reserved for "whites only"...

he apparently believed the rumor that transport out of town was for white folks first, said something like "here we are, in 2005, and we are resegregating the buses...it's a tragedy"

i didn't know if i should laugh or cry, but then i remembered this guy is desperate, hungry, and would probably believe anything....

span, I don't know you and I very seldom get drawn into personal arguments on FR. But you are making the most bizarre assertions re the sniper situation. Obviously, these gangsta snipers are not trained marksmen - but that's not the point - they are shooting frequently, hitting their targets sometimes, and killing occassionally. What more do you want? The gangsta snipers are a real part of the landscape of this week in N.O. And they have cost innumerable lives and suffering because of the delay in rescue/relief operations they have caused. I've proven you wrong. Others have proven you wrong as well. Please let it go, buddy.

I'm really wishing I was in Texas tonight. That poor girl Larry King was trying to interview tonight and she was alone and struggling with a small squirming baby (so many of these people with small children)... I would love to volunteer to help with some of the babies so they can rest -- even if only for a few hours...

Okay---I thought someone was joking when they commented that Halliburton was getting the clean-up contract...

NOPE...there is a thread...

Oh, man...the dems will NEVER, EVER shut up now!

I may be naive, but why aren't military A-130's airdropping supplies?

C-130 air-drop isn't the answer under these circumstances. If the supplies aren't on pallets, they spread out along the path of the aircraft for a mile or so. If the supplies are on pallets, the pallets kill anyone they land on. If there was a dry spot large enough to use as a drop-zone, it would be full of people. Supply by helicopter is the way to go in these circumstances, because they can place supplies precisely without killing anyone, and that is what is being done.

Mary Landrieu on WWL just talking about how she told President Bush that she wants a CABINET LEVEL position made just to deal with New Orleans and the surrounding parishes...the rebuilding and such...

Department of the Bucket? No offense intended towards survivors and their family, but such concepts need to be mocked.

FOX is pretty much in self destruct mode
with their coverage of this.

I still watch them almost exclusively because
the alternative is pure commie spin, but, their
work is shameful.

I may have to just turn off the tv.

"I think we better let Chris Matthews & Aaron Brown in on the coverup!"

Can you elaborate? I'm not sure what you're replying to.

Boy - I'd hate to take these rescuers to opening day of doe season in Pennsy- you wanna hear some shots zipping overhead.

IIRC NOPD a few years ago conducted an experiment and fired 700 rounds of blanks in various locations.....nobody called the police to report gunshots....
