"Just... stunned sadness" describes it well.
If Tucker is bringing it up, we need to take credit. We're the ones forcing the truth about Nagin and Blanco to the surface, and other nuMedia that has joined us. Certainly he wouldn't do so on his own.
We have more than one police car at each open gas station here. Sometimes these police officers are the targets of angry people. My sister went out today to try to buy more gas and she took a cooler of bottled water to offer to the officers directing traffic at the gas station. Unfortunately, the station she went to ran out of gas long before she got near the officer directing traffic, and he was gone before she could offer him some iced water.
Yeah, he was a character and his haircut was only matched by Earl Morrell former Colt and Dolphin QB.
If you really think you need it that bad, I'll sell you mine.
Dixie Carter and Hal Holbrooke on Fox now
I HAVE SEEN THE PICTURES! When they show the WHOLE levee.The Barge is seetting on top of 2 houses on the other side..
Yet the Mainstream media is NOT reporting that, and instead trying to blame Bush Budget cuts...
We need to get that word around NOW!
Check out post 5253.
Did you see the CNN guy standing in Jackson Square saying that Jackson was honored for liberating NO from the French!
I wonder how the hi-fives will go if the worst is discovered in St Bernards Parish. No cameras have been over there.
Anyone post yet that DirectTV on channel 100 has hurricane contact numbers, and a screen crawl text of messages from people looking for family, friends?
I might add that I appreciate everyone here. I've been able to communicate with some folks in Houma and the surrounding area. But I think talking here with everyone has helped me a lot. We all watched this thing develop, coming into and around New Orleans. We mostly feared the worst. But, even the worst, as we are seeing it happen it's still difficult to wrap our minds around it.
I just heard on Fox that they've got armed guards at the grocery warehouses in Baton Rouge. I'm beginning to worry that things could get out of hand very quickly in these Mississippi and Louisiana cities that are being overwhelmed by huge population increases without any ability to handle them.
I was thinking about this and I realized that I can tell you what meds I take, but I couldn't remember the amount without going and looking at the bottle. (and I'm in the medical profession!)
Why don't you go over there yourself, Mary. Throwing brickbats at the breach would accomplish more than your throwing them at the people and agency trying to stop the water. Ironically, as I write this, WWL has a lengthy piece on the operation, including refueling choppers in mid-air to save time! Hole is 30 ft. deep and takes time to repair. Main engineer says hope to have it plugged tomorrow.
I agree strongly with you on one point - Bush must make an appeal to US businesses to restructure their worker commute requirements. people can't get gas, and we need to reduce gas consumption short term. something has to give. they should also cut postal delivery to 3 or 4 days per week maxiumum to reduce fuel consumption for mail delivery.
You know where the pictures are? If so, should post it in breaking news. That story definitely needs to be deciminated.
I thought he fought the "Bloody British" Down the mississipii to the Gulf of Mexicooooo. Or was I taught wrong?
I heard him and I said to myslef "who is this crack head" I was cooking and had the TV on in the other room.
