How about leaving it in place?

Oh, forgot - some of them do have a heavy trigger, but that's an optional thing. Standard trigger pull is about 5.5lbs, NYPD I is 8lbs, NYPD II is 12lbs.

You can have the trigger units swapped out for any of the other two. Designed to be interchangable.

Praise God!!! Okay--forgive me Lord--but this is a record of wrong that I do not want blamed on my President. Paul--in Corinthians--is talking about Divine Love. As for me--I'm way too human to not shout "Hallelujah!"

Did you see yesterday - the photos of the submerged buses are getting legs.

Yes, and I hope it continues. The incompetence of the LA government needs to be pasted all over T.V. so they can be shown to be the corrupt thugs they are.

The Houston newspaper listed a man who has taken 50 people into his home and is wanting to bring in more.

Unless government officials in their home countries were breathing down the state department's neck. And, then that same state department started breathing down the neck of the mayor. All a domino effect.

I wonder how many rapes (or murders, for that matter) took place in NO every night under 'normal' circumstances, and if there has been any increase at all in their numbers, or just national coverage of them.

I think I read that there were just over 400 murders last year, so about 1 per night.

The Governette and Nagin have been effectively set aside

I wish some rep from Lousiana with the president's ear (that he trusted) had told him that was the only answer all along.

Because the pathetic facilities in LA are completely full (those that weren't destroyed).

On another thread, I was told those were the Mayor's people and where the police had set up a command center.

I've asked for a link but the person who made the post doesn't post much on Saturdays.

It is entirely likely that some of the evacuated people from the Hyatt were tourists, but I'll bet the media unreported story is that it was also a police command center.

Army evac Q&A - Questions are mostly inaudible. 55 planes, 788 commercial buses invilved in the out-of-city evacs. School buses are used to move people around the city.

First audible question (and last for the army evac) - How many people left? - Dunno; people still showing up. Was 60-80,000 when we started, we're finding more as the buses continue.

Coast Guard up. 52 A/C have evacuated over 700 the last 24 hours. Lower Mississippi is open for deep-draft vessels during daylight hours. No questions at this time.

Red Cross now.

I bet they weren't up much (if at all), considering how high the murder rate is in NO ordinarily.

Ok..this is rather remarkable...I had no idea Richard Simmons vocal chords had a timbre lower than high C.

Last night when he was reporting on O'Reilly it was quite obvious that someone was trying to get Shep in control....OTOH SHep looked close to tears. Lest we forget this is his area of the world and he care deeply about it...WIll no doubt leave a mark on him forever....IMO The young man needs our prayers/support/understanding not criticism.

LOL.

That mute button got over-worked yesterday; as soon as someone started talking about race being a factor in the relief effort, I hit mute or turned it off altogether.
