Well-said.
I wonder if anyone remembers that on inauguration day, Jan 2000, President and Mrs Bush's limo was pelted with fruit as it made its way through Washington? From Day one, President Bush has been hated by the Dems and liberal media. He was supposed to be the lame-duck, 'accidental' president but, by God's grace, he rose above those and worse labels. President Bush will survive this crisis and more. We must continue to pray for God's leading and grace for this president, VP Cheney, and cabinet members.

Play it again Sam!
Not confirmed, no - hence my qualifier.
My personal prediction: No NFL season - they will end up dispersed into stadiums across the country and gradually assimilated into local populations over the next year or so . . . as I've been saying, these refugees are now the Dustbowl Okies of our generation . . . it's a much bigger challenge then any of us realize just yet . . .
You are correct. But there are poor people there too and they may have started out with only 50$ cash--which goes fast when you gas is $4 a gallon and you can actually get it. Remember, many of them had migrated a little farther north to get away from storm (a couple of counties) and came back home after the storm to check on their things. That costs money also. But this is not about MY preparedness. It wasn't me, it was family. My husband's and mine. I really have no idea exactly what they did/didn't have----as far as cash.
Anyone know where LBJ is buried? I have to use the facilities.
was thinking about that, too. Unless they reverse the decision to empty this city, all of them are going to have to be moved out one way or another. Exactly where are they going to send these urban terrorists? If they expect the rest of the country to keep up their enthusiasm for taking in the homeless, some really serious decisions need to be made about what to do with them.
Los Angeles can take them, just boot out a few 100k illegals, the crime rate will probably go down...
If you are concerned about bureaucracy, check with your local churches. I'd be willing to bet you could ship clothing items to "any hurricane shelter" in Biloxi, Gulfport, Baton Rouge or Lafayette.
I'm becoming most unstable with family, friends, coworkers, snarling at me 'YOUR president is KILLING off NEW ORLEANS' and I'm 'bout to start swingin. Even before the election I wasn't tempted to truly lay somebody out.
You running into this, too?
Grant's Tomb?
I am interested in any online radio feeds. I have a small list I've rotated through over the last few days, but all from the disaster area and none specifically from the Astrodome.
Can't they cancel the NHL season again? No one seemed to mind that.
I thought it was very well stated. Flowery language is nice in Hallmark cards and love songs. Your words were loud and clear.
I was just commenting what we were doing. I did hear that our Lt Governor (RAT Gov is always gone) had to declare an emergency so we could send Guard troops earlier in the week and put them under FEMA control because the moron LA Governor never asked OK for help.
Buses with evacs leave with no escort even though instructed to wait for police escort, show up at a checkpoint north on I-10, checkpoint doesn't know where to put 'em.
WHO IS "RUNNING" this show??
Again:WTF??
Is it possible that people are still showing up in the 10's of thousands?
NG gets there... buses most out, hands out food and water to the few remaining... leaves .... then thousands MORE show up?
I heard somewhere at one point something to that effect.. that people were showing up at the dome or wherever faster than they were busing them out... something like at that point 2 days ago they had bussed out 15K people but actually had 10K more people than when they started bussing them.
Heck I don't know.
The pictures of food and water at the convention center has a time stamp of 11 something this morning? The ladies Geraldo interviewed had some of what looked like the water they were handing out.
The nearest working ATM is in Florida or Tennessee.
Mobile is about as screwed as Biloxi.
Can't run an AC unit on a gas generator for very long without blowing up the generator.
Water will help more people than gas will. With water, you can survive.
