We rented Hitch and watched it last night. It was just the right kind of movie. It was a nice romantic comedy. Basically, it was a feel good movie. It was a total great break from the news.
Gee FreeRepublic!
Who would have thought I could go on a 1000+ thread about the Katrina crisis and run across a solution to my meat thermometer problem?
Ain't life weird sometimes?
Not wanting to sound political but I know this statement will. Did you ever think of the makeup of the entire country changing now? What about this: N.O. prob Dems overwhelmingly taken to Texas, mostly repub, taken to other republican states and blaming Bush/Repubs for their plight. We'll have redistricting done in all of this.
Exactly.......
Unfortunately, my post was not intended for you specifically. I forgot to change the address to ALL. Apologies for that.
"Thus James Lee Clinton Clinton Witt rides in to the rescue today and claims credit for "turning things around"."
And getting talking points from the Klintoons and/or the DNC to put. That said, I belive the Sect'y of HS said they now had control, Sect'y of Labor said jobs would be availble, etc. With all the laws and things happening so quickly, tt's getting a bit confusing and blurred right now. So, just to get it straight in my mind, am I right in thinking that the Fed HS has control over the situation and area except for the state guard and other state and local law officers. What else does the state (e.g., Witt) have control of?
About the only thing I really got from Economics classes is how interwoven all modern economies are and how much they are based on public perception. If something fails, or is perceived to fail, things happen. Even we we get things up to full throttle, it will take time for these things to get everywhere.
I agree - things will probably change - but hopefully for the better as well...
the gov? LOL
That's just eerie...
Scanner - Col. Smith and Jeff Witt need a helicopter ASAP by governor's direction.
(sigh).
Carnival Cruise out of Galveston for September has just been cancelled. Ship will be used for "other" purposes.
I have NEVER had a question (about ANY subject) that I couldn't get answered at FR. The power of distributed expertise is amazing. We really should become a think-tank.
I even had people tell me how to make a flag in my front yard out of flowers! (blue is the hardest)
Who is Col. Smith?
The upstaging has begun
Methinks you're right. I was going to post something about the shift in political districts a day or two ago; but thought it'd be best to hold off.
There could be a real shift in the political landscape if the evacuees relocate permanently.
Did you have a ressie on that ship?

Updates as they come in on Katrina

2:00 P.M. - U.S. Attorney Jim Letten: I bring a message from the President of the U.S., the Attorney General of the U.S. "The city of New Orleans belongs to its citizens and not the thugs who have attempted to terrorize the citizens."
1:58 P.M. - Letten: Federal prosecutors are coming to Louisiana and working around the clock in the field to process and screen people who are arrested to find federal offenders and then imprison them.
1:50 P.M. - NEW YORK (AP) -- A convoy of 70 city buses, accompanied by an assortment of support vehicles and volunteers, departed lower Manhattan on Saturday morning for a 24-hour trip south to help evacuate victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The caravan, including another 47 vehicles from the city police and mass transit, was expected to arrive in New Orleans on Sunday to start ferrying victims of the hurricane out of the crippled Crescent City. They left from Police Headquarters, just a few blocks east of ground zero.
1:47 P.M. - BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- The Federal Emergency Management Agency wants to order 75,000 meals a day from the city's two Jason's Deli restaurants, but the chain's overwhelmed employees haven't been able to keep up, a restaurant manager said Saturday.
"We would have to close both of our restaurants down to the public to come close to it," manager Brad McElwee said. "Every day we're feeding as many as we can."
McElwee said 25 employees at his restaurant put together 4,000 to 5,000 meals for FEMA on Saturday, while trying to serve walk-in customers as well. Forty workers at the other location have been making 5,000 to 12,000 meals a day.
Some type of parachute, perhaps? Nothing fancy, just something to slow down the speed of the dropping objects?
I will now don flame retardant undies ;-)
Unknown. Probably the poor LA NG guy assigned to be Witt's aide.
