There is a local director for disaster relief in every municipality – that person is called the Mayor.

Yep, we had a thread on this today, someone looked up the NOLA's evacuation plan (*if* you could call it that).

Last line, The mayor is in charge of it.

Did you hear that the reason for that tragic bus rollover that caused at least one death I heard of, was because of an unruly passenger harrassing the driver? We not only have to worry about the brutal terrorists, we have unbelievably dangerous sick and savage beasts walking this country ...spilling out right now from their nest in NO.

Look at poor Waveland and Pass Christian (the west of Gulfport pic ... just so sad)

Watch "Everyday Italian" and download the recipes. Easy and soooo yummy!

[Texasforever]

You are great and so are the folks you just mentioned.

I'm curious about the allegation that some of Houston's homeless people are mingling with the New Orleans refugees -- didn't the people have to be taken off of buses before they are allowed inside the Astrodome? I'm wondering how a local homeless person might have gained entry on foot.

15% public transportation in NO.

Thanks John!

Yes, very and all the whacko, eco-kooko enviro's would love nothing better than to pull a monkey wrench gang stunt on the dam.

A few more unruly passengers have been reported on planes due to land soon.

I guess those reinforced cockpit doors President BUSH ordered are saving some lives right now. Good call, W.

They still have fingerprints, and computers can check that in seconds now.

I understand a number of arrests have been made of wanted people who were getting off the buses in TX. :)

Good synopsis; I've heard all the things you are talking about with the scanner traffic also.

Seems like most of our Indiana assets are being directed to Mississippi..

TF1, CAP, NG and Air Gaurd have all been sent there...

[rolling_stone]

It sure looks like him and it would explain the large number of people at the convention center, they went there to get food and water...

While our home-grown reparations and welfare moochers sit around complaining "Where's mine?"

[bonfire]

Were the Vietnamese screaming about the government not helping them? Of course not. They go about their business and make the best of things. When I lived in TX I was always amazed at the Vietnamese and their perserverence.

[Born in a Rage]

It would be a great relief from the "racial" talking points they are gushing out with today, don't you think? Or do you just like to make fun of people's posts?

I think the idea that any news organization would make a big news story out of some guy holding a few pets for refugees is ridiculous when a million people are dead, dying, or homeless. I guess it's just me.

I'm a decent cook I just don't enjoy doing it anymore. I love Paula Dean though. Her recipes are really simple.

I'm yawning here, going to bed. Nite

[Arizona Carolyn]

I think they should give people the bold facts about how many people they have to find homes for....

[John Jamieson]

Let us know if you can pick and choose.

My wife and I have discussed it too, but decided only to do it through our church with good personal recommendations.

[Mo1]

Easy and soooo yummy!

Trust me .. I am a lousy cook

Just ask my hubby *L*

[fatima]

God bless you.
