I know what it is like to go ballistic over the idiocy. I called my sister and told her how incompetent the locals were in handling this and how they are blaming Bush. She yelled "ANYWHERE DEMOCRATS ARE IN CHARGE THERE IS CORRUPTION AND INCOMPETENCE!!!! THEN THE GROWNUPS HAVE TO COME IN AND CLEANUP THE MESS!"

GWB and Laura have more class than every member of the MSM combined.

[Liberty Valance]

The anchor asked someone will President Bush recover from this....of course not!!!!

LOL!!! His chances for re-election are looking slim...;o)

[Cboldt]

And the FoxNews reporter refers to the criminal activity as "tragic."

Ugh.

[nicmarlo]

Yes; he's a good man.

The Prez is on the ground in LA? I am so confused!

He was for a while. Don't know where exactly, but the pool photog showed him at a place on a canal with heavy equipment working (I assume it was near one of the levee breaches).

[don-o]

Yup, now that it's safe for them.

However many show up for roll call.

[RDTF]

What was up with that t-shirt he was wearing? What did it say? Desire?

[Tensgrrl]

I wonder how long after the water is pumped out, the city is safe for life and habitable?

[easonc52]

Anyone watching MSNBC after Blanco spoke? The anchor asked someone will President Bush recover from this....of course not!!!! I was walking through the den and my husband had that stupid station on and I started hollering at the tv! Dogs and husband ran for cover...lol CNN is no longer allowed on our tv and now MSNBC has been added to that list.

Same here!

From Thread, Part XIII. I think in a flood zone you simply have to do the extra structural and HVAC engineering and put them up out of reach of the water. But that is very expensive . . . "pay me now or pay me later."

Where is the Magic 8 ball when you need it, right?! Thanks for the primer on generators, AAM!

[steveegg]

So am I.

[BurbankKarl]

Near empty Superdome

[Types_with_Fist]

What did it say? Desire?

Is that what it said? Desire Projects?

[No Blue States]

"GWB and Laura have more class than every member of the MSM combined."

I agree, and we have seen it time and again even as they are attacked.

Police chief speaking now about plans to get their stuff together.

[RummyChick]

It seems they were saying about 50 people in the hostage mess but then I think that the blonde chick said 100 people the last time she was talking about it to someone.

[Cboldt]

The snipers are the bad guys. The snipers are what is keeping the firefighters trapped.

No mercy. No capture, trial and incarceration. Summary execution for the perps.

[mwl1]

Call your local NBC affiliate and raise Hell.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Leave it to the MSM to say that. The LOOTING is "Tragic". Not an "Outrage" mind you. Also, they said 9-11 was "Tragic". Never called it an "Outrage". This PC crap makes ya' sick!
