I'm sick of hearing the BS
I don't know how to post a pic here - but look at this pic on Fox's front page of their website - the old lady in awheelchair holding hands with the little girl while evacuating..

"A TRIAD can be dropped from more than 10,000 feet with excellent accuracy."
Just curious. How big is the zone of the excellent accuracy, in square feet? I am visualizing the apron of the SD full of people or the I-10 overpass and wondering how much space would have to be clear of people for a successful 10000 ft drop.
Buck up, man. You've been in Texas long enough to the spirit of Texans. If Greta van Susteren can be in Texas for three days and not find anything to complain about, we must be doing okay.
me too. That's why I don't turn on that channel - it'd be at least 1 cuss jar donation.
I've lived here all my life, and have always called them that.
Good point!!!
Exactly!
Keep those links; we're gonna be hearing about that guy when the investigations start.
I don't watch much TV, but in flipping for news, I've seen most of the shows. I don't think I've ever seen even a bit of a McGuyyver show though. I don't even know what the guy looks like or what channel it's on.
Somehow, I'm not conjuring up much regret either.
:-)
No offense, but what they did was in the old Civil Defense manuals of years gone by. That's exactly what they're supposed to do - well, pre-liberal era, anyway.
If a lot of people did this, the liberals are in for a long day and a short existence as a party.
who are some of the folks there?
I am glad to see the change.
I started noticing improvement yesterday so I started watching more FNC.
"My goal is to complete life-saving operations, safely evacuate all affected areas, and transition our displaced citizens to begin restoring some semblance of normalcy to their lives."
That may be her goal - but it's happening with no thanks to her or the Mayor of NO. By the time Witt gets on board I think (and pray) that all affected areas will already be evacuated (US Armed Forces are in and she has no control of them anyway) and that their transition will be in the great state of Texas and/or other states, where she has NO control.
Get a grip toots, your gig is OVER!
Just dropping in to point out how joyful it is to watch the happy faces of evacuees as they're strapped into a military chopper and briefed on the flight out. (Fox right now.)
The expression on that woman's face is pure joy. It makes me elated just to see it.
She's thrilled!
Do we have here at FR, Governor Blanco's two days of statements archived, the ones to the effect that she had New Orleans under perfect control, that reports to the contrary were fiction (implying that help was neither needed or wanted), all made while the police stations and hospitals were being overrun?
If so, I think they will prove to be valuable later on.
any 'emergency kit list' floating around that lacks the inclusion of some kind of fire power, is kind of 'p*ssy' in my mind, IMHO
Update from a current AP article:
"By mid-afternoon, only pockets of stragglers remained in the streets around the convention center, and New Orleans paramedics began carting away the dead."
Excellent. They've got everyone there out. They're also gone from the interstate, and I hope they evac'd the remaining 2000 from the Dome. There were a few thousand at the airport too. Other than those that still need to be rescued from homes/apartments, the crowds have been looked after.
10mm ammo and 30-06 is a lot harder to find ammo for than .45 ACP and .308/7.62 NATO.
My primary "Oh ****" arm right now is my Saiga 12ga magfed semiauto (gas operated). They're cheap and reliable.
I agree, it brought tears to these old eyes.
Must have put up the cofferdam around the pump and are dewatering it.
Wasn't that the neatest thing you've seen on TV for a week!!!
I just loved her smile, and the thumb's up!! and she is just now being rescued....wonderful spirit on that young lady!!!
