the hair is great - actually it's only a mid-life infatuation if I live to be 104! LOL

This needs to be repeated

The former was a guy who was attacking someone else with scissors.

Nothing wrong with either shoot, IMHO.

[tiredoflaundry]

[pitinkie]

Whorealdo on lying about " they had no food til today" at the CC

[John Jamieson]

Just another form of Texas redistricting.

:::Gave the whole impression of herself as too nice to point at Bush and fema, but left the thought there that she had been about to do that. I think she is evil.:::

After the crisis passes, I pray that she gets tried for murder. Her actions or lack of actions has caused undo numbers to die.

Witt was FEMA director under former President Clinton, serving in that position from 1993-2001

Following is a link, from blogger GEA3, that will give you an idea how much the Clinton folks like Witt did for flood control in Louisiana. Here is a taste of what the Clinton administration did in 1995 thru 2000: US Left: All Straws Clutched, Every Barrel Scraped A sample from 1995: Clinton administration officials argue that the flood-control efforts are local projects, not national, and should be paid for by local taxes. I would argue that every project proposed over the last 100 years to protect New Orleans from a category 5 hurricane would fail to prevent a catastrophic destruction of that city. If anyone can provide a counter argument to that statement, other than relocating the entire city, I would like to hear it.

Most of them are probably going to change their party affiliation once they get here and see how we do it here.

[BurbankKarl]

It isnt an air force base anymore...there are businesses there and a retirement center and a golf course....they made it sound like barracks are sitting there read to move in

"-- "get on the same page as far as chain of command is concerned," -------."

When I first heard that I thought ---well the dems talking points are out there and he has been instructed.

For major mess-up this little mayor is sounding pretty tough.

[sheikdetailfeather]

Bob Livingston on Fox now.

[Seattle Conservative]

"Well yeah it will make a big difference since Blanco wasn't doing and seems not be held responsible for anything that has happened in the state she is suppose to be governing."

Isn't that the truth! Can you imagine if this had been a Pubbie Gov???? What if this had been Perry in TX or G*d forbid Bush in FL???

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Great idea!

Cajungirl ping to post 4206.
Has there been any local discussion about this?

[Mo1]

For major mess-up this little mayor is sounding pretty tough.

It's easy for him to sound tough now considering the Feds bailed his sorry butt out of the fire

[RDTF]

he said 'state leadership was not there'

[Abigail Adams]

I know a local soldier who is with the 256th ECB in Iraq. Most of them are from LA, and this soldier says some of these guys had homes that were flooded by the levee break. He says it's hitting a lot of them hard.

The kicker is that they have been "on their way home" for a couple of weeks now as their tour has ended. And some of these soldiers now have no home to come home to.

Prayers, please!

****Many who fled flooded New Orleans for shelter in Houston's Astrodome are already eyeing potential jobs and considering making Houston their new home. Will evacuation turn to immigration?***

And this SCARES the DNC to death...

MORE seats to lose in 2006.

Anybody have a map with how many State/federal seats we are talikng about here?

[maryz]

the media will be throwing all the credit for the FEMA effort, to Witt now.

Is he any good on TV? I just got the awful thought that Hillary wanted him in so he could supply the anti-Bush rants for the Sunday shows. (Obviously putting Blanco or Nagin on wouldn't do the dems much good -- apart from at DU, of course.)

[tiredoflaundry]

Bob Livingston on Fox now.

Smacking down the local officials!
