Between the FEMA tankers and the restored TX-LA-MS-AL-FL pipelines, fuel should be back to the SE shortly.
This may be another stupid question but hey, I'll bite..
Has anyone else experienced Post Office trouble? In Mich, that's pretty far away but some important mail, not related to that area, didn't arrive today. Just wondering if that could be hurrican related. I have no idea how the PO runs.

2:09 P.M. - PHOENIX (AP): One thousand or more refugees of Hurricane Katrina could begin arriving in Arizona as early as Sunday morning, said a spokeswoman for Gov. Janet Napolitano.
Some of the evacuees would likely be brought to Phoenix's Veterans Memorial Coliseum, where they would remain for a few weeks until other housing arrangements could be made, said Napolitano spokeswoman Jeanine L'Ecuyer.
"We will be working with people to transition them to other shelters," L'Ecuyer said.
Another possible location for temporarily housing refugees is the Tucson Convention Center, said Michael Carson, a spokesman for the city of Tucson.

Just on Fox - the Astrodome is allowing 13,000 more after all. Amazing that the fire marshall had enough authority to turn all of those people away. Codes are one thing, but this is an exceptional situation, and anyway the place is huge. Someone trumped his arse.
Dept. of Education (Feds) may set up schools at the Astrodome per Fox News
Seems they should follow orders of fire marshalls. Geesh, they'd know the limits don't ya think?
All we need is another tragedy.
First responders are now to be provided by federal forces. No more delays because Louisiana State Police or what's left of the NOPD aren't available. I would think that the Fire Department is in pretty good shape, provided it gets good cover against the thugs that take rifle pot-shots at the fire fighters.
Per MSNBC Pensacola, Fla. is helping Pass Christian, MS with emergency personnel.
BTTT for Arizona!
Good point, one with a suitcase could do much damage.
Newman took a day off.
Al Sharpton has called for a day of prayer tomorrow. Now this really burns me considering the way he acts. I shouldn't judge but his and JJ are busy running around telling everybody this is a black/white thing and then tells us to turn to God. I doubt God would be happy the way he's been. IMHO
LOL! you got that right!
Just think about how big that place is - and the tens of thousands that come there for a sold out game.
I was reading a blurb a day or 2 ago that a lot of thier Midwest cross-country trucks were hauling relief supplies...
Frist is a surgeon and he takes his oaths, ALL his oaths seriously. From what I saw, it wasn't a photo-op. Looks like he did what he could in Congress and then came down to the front lines to aid people in distress. Some of us remember the last prominent TN representative to take this course of action.
His name was Davy Crockett, and he died at the Alamo in 1836.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe nothing in terms of NG or LE assets.
There is a possibility, though, that this may be a ploy by the Clintons to try to get Bush to react by federalizing the state NG, which he can certainly do, but which their media allies will then spin as Bush playing politics during a disaster.
I doubt it will work though; Bush does not think and work on these things politically; he just does his job and make sure people under him do theirs.
Therefore, I think the play by the Clintons will be to have their shill Witt manouver the Louisiana Guard and LEOs and the media in such a way as to reinforce the meme that the federal government has failed and the local and state Democrats will saving the day.
How about "displaced Gulfies" or "Katrina vics"?
