yep, when it's all over they can just light a match to the ships, the astrodome & the convention center
Is this official martial law or is this what President Bush meant by not getting bogged down in bureaucracy? I've been wondering about this since I heard his weekly address earlier. (In any case, it's the right thing to do, IMO.)
You all listening to this guy on FOX? He's explaining the logistical, practical nightmare on the ground in response to the outrageous critisism...he's awesome.
Another way that Jesse Jackson needs to be embarrassed, is on Larry King the other night, he was ragging on Bush, yet again, complaining about not having any black people in charge...
His point being, I guess, that if there were black people in charge, they would care more, or something...
Anyway...come to find out, that the MAIN MAN in charge, Gen. Honore, IS black.
Has Jesse apologized yet to President Bush??? uh, no
Youre welcome.;)
Closest evacuation center is now in Shreveport.

yep & I love the way he says OVER after he completes his reply - makes me want to salute the tv & spit shine my shoes
Are you listening to FOX right now??
Katherine Herridge asked the Lt. General (I'm not even gonna try to guess at spelling his name) a question, and then actually let him talk for at least 3 minutes without interrupting.
This might be a FIRST for cable news!
Hope Katherine doesn't lose her union card over this.
Are we still going with the reports that 80% of NOLA was evac'd before the hurricane? Does this make sense with the numbers doming out now? Trying to do the math..
Stories that I've heard concerning the Astrodome are very disheartening. Complaints because the clothing donations are "used". Complaints about the wait for shower facilities. Complaints about the lack of apts. available. There are some nice stories, also. But volunteers are getting discouraged and may stop showing up.
General Honore...telling it like it is. Making the media look like the incompentent amateurs they are.
Lafayette out of Resources??
Moving Refugees on to Houston?
Caught it out of the corner of my ear...
Not at all, and they have plenty more experience than arm chair captains.
For goodness sakes, people in the best of situations yesterday were hoarding gasoline and fighting in Charlotte because they were told to conserve. Add desperation and heat to the situation, and chaos results without an infrastructure for distribution.
Has the Gov of LA spoken at her presser yet?
" the primary disaster here would be an earthquake and there are not advance warnings for those, so our family could and may be in need of help after one."
You live in the same state I do, and I, like you, have also been thinking that I need to get a survival kit all in one place. Not only do we have to worry about earthquakes, we also need to worry about volanoes errupting. I think many of us look at Mt. Rainier, especially if the sun is shining on it, and admire the beauty (doesn't the mountain look beautiful today). However, was reminded on the radio yesterday that it is one of the biggest volcanoes around and if it ever errupts, we're all in big trouble.
That was Lt. General Honore, the commander of the Joint Task Force in New Orleans. His no-nonsense description of the amout of time it takes to mount an operation this size in the wake of such a powerful storm exposes the MSM's lie that there was unnecessary delay. The left is going down the "Bush waited" path and they look like idiots.
General Honore: "The storm gets a vote... We're not stuck on stupid."
Im not sure where all these people will stay.
An area that holds 5k seating, may hold 1k cots and enough space for people and supplies.
Fox has been improving significantly.....actually doing real news coverage with hard news journalism.
They must have gotten the message and probably literally sent a memo out about how to get their ducks in a row here.
They even broke a story yesterday.
Down to 530k power still off, 230k power restored. (NOLA)
I've been watching the fire at the dock. I had heard the river was low. But, doesn't it look a tad on the high side right there?
