Evening, Freepers.

Want to stop the idjits in their tracks?

Slack jawed, mouth open, drool collecting on the tops of their Docksiders?

Hint...I mean the barest hint that you're willing to play your ace...you know, the one in your pocket?

The rats will trample each other trying to get out of the way.

Even the ones who didn't work (and unlike some here I will continue to believe, until proven wrong, that most NO citizens had jobs and were not welfare leaches) would have had money for bus fare.

I believe median income for NO is something like 24,000. And I dont know where to go to look up the percentage of NO residents who were on assistance (not including the richer Jeff parish)

I wouldn't doubt it if Geraldo put the Police chief up to lying about the food and water.

I'm hearing more and more about PRIVATE Security teams operating in NEw Orleans, trying to get certain people or Company Employees out...

FOX had a team get a caller out today...

I'm really starting to think there may have been half a million people in town when it flooded.

I'm seeing footage on fox of them setting their helocopter down in some neighborhood to save an old lady and people were coming out of nearly every house in site! must have been 50-100 people just in that one small area.

Starting to look like we may end with twice many evacuees as we should.

Behind in your rent, go to the stadium!

HGTV ... there's my list!


Food Network for me. I don't think I'm going to watch any news at all this weekend. I'll get it all from here and wait until the Roberts hearings next week. I'm sick of the MSM and their lies and race baiting.

Sink a damn barge in front of it, something. Plugging a damn hole can't be that impossible a feat when you know for years its the only thing saving your city.

One problem, FWIU, is that the levees themselves are basically just mounds of dirt. Adding something on top of a levee won't do much good if ANY water gets under the new thing you added. Instead, the flow under the new object will quickly erode the levy below it and may--especially if the erosion allows the object to fall through--result in a larger breach than if the "repair" had not been attempted.

OK, I forgot that people actually use AC units that are less than 15K BTUH.

*Most* gas generators (yours is larger than most) have some severe problems with being run for an extended period of time with that kind of draw.

Seems to me the Demigodcrats are more concerned about loosing voters and elections than humans.

I heard that Jessie came to NO for a photo opt.

Someone said that a refugee asked about how much water and food he brought.

The refugee asked for a drink and was told to wait for the NG.

Is this true or not.

Surely that over pampered charlatan Master Jessie the Scam Artists Jackson would have thought about his plantation workers.

Beverly Hills/Malibu/Brentwood.

Sorry, can't be Malibu. No one is allowed to camp in the city except one weekend a year when the powwow comes to town (their first exemption.) They get rather sensitive when fires come raging and people begin to set up tents in Bluff's Park. Same with the annual spring floods.

I'm sure they'll hold a fund raiser so they can smile at each other, pat each other's backs and sneer at conservatives.

A few more unruly passengers have been reported on planes due to land soon. One positive note, the Levi site was short of volunteers to help put the cots together, and were afraid they would be innundated with evacuees before they had them put together. Men from the first three busloads of evacuees that arrived there helped volunteers get all the cots put together and set up. in short order. They now have about 1700 cots set up at the Levi Strauss location. Still waiting there for blankets, water, and food for the evacuees, but they are supposed to be delivered within the hour.
