Can you email that to Rush?
The first bus was a twenty year old kid driving....His neighbors pooled their money for gas to get there.....Resourceful
Again, it's not about money to get the gas, it's that there is a major gas shortage,,,doesn't matter how resourceful you are, if there no gas, there is not gas. Plus, all he had to do was get to the Texas line and gas was plentiful,,,,,so if he had a half a tank when he started that would have gotten him to the line or at least close so he could fuel up again,,,
He's mine too and I get to adopt him first! You may have him every other weekend except if there is a disaster....then he stays with me!
I take that back. Not Quisling or Hitler. Chamberlain - another example of complete leadership failure.
I believe NO
I was always taught that you should have a 3 to 7 day disaster kit ready, because you may not have help for a period of time.
What we have going on in NO, is the failure to educate the public on what to do in emergencies.......
Came from NO area. Don't remember the parish.
Would be better to put them in one of the old military bases instead of in the inner-city, particularly an inner city like Los Angeles that is getting ready to blow because of problems between the blacks and hispanics and police department.
now that's the funniest thing i've heard all day,,,,,hehehhehe
I'm sure civil engineers will come up with something. I just wanted to point out (since it may not be obvious to everyone) that repairing a loaded levy is a non-trivial task.
Actually, at this point I suspect there are some real questions as to what the engineers should even try to be doing. At present, there's a really big bowl of rather nasty chemical soup in New Orleans. The pollution is at present somewhat contained; I don't know whether anyone is going to try to mitigate its spread, or if people are just going to hope that diluting it with the ocean will render it harmless.
One thing I've personally wondered about, though this is probably an absurd idea, is whether it would make sense to try to get some river water flowing through New Orleans (without increasing the depth) before the city is drained. I would think that might help clean up the city somewhat, but I have no idea whether it would do more harm than good, or whether any good that it might do would outweigh the extra time the city was under water.
Look, they were told over and over that a Cat 5 was coming straight at them and they STILL didn't leave. You think educating them on emergency supplies would have done the trick??
I know.
Nagin is of the NOLA mulatto ruling class I believe.
The name sounds Lebanese.
Then go to the damn barricade and raise a stink until you get the help you need. It's the difference between finding a job and waiting on gov't cheese.
The Royal Navy strongly denies that there is any cannibalism in New Orleans.
Absolutely None.
And when we say none, we do mean there is a little, but...
OK, But I get him for Christmas and Mother's day!
Right. Based on how fast he got there, I think he started much closer. Hard to imagine that he blazed the trail out of downtown.
For certain. Housing is tight nationwide so absorbing a million + is going to be interesting. I REALLY don't want to see these people moved from one ghetto and projects to another ghetto and projects. If they are going to start over, I'd like to see them start over with a chance in life for them and their children. Most of our large cities don't fit that bill.
Maybe she wasn't one of the starving / thirsty ones, just overwhelmed by the 90+ degree heat and "300 percent humidity".
I just read something that absolutely broke my heart.
Although I was delighted to learn that Fats Domino was rescued, I'm sorry to tell you that another incredible musician has passed away...
Holly Springs, Mississippi blues guitarist RL Burnside was elderly, but his recording career got a boost in recent years because he was willing to work with young producers and create an exciting fusion of blues and electronic music. If you watch HBO's "The Sopranos," then you've heard some of his songs in the show's soundtrack, especially the catchy "It's Bad You Know."
The server for Fat Possum Records in Mississippi appears to be down, so I cut and pasted the cached Google text:
