How many did we take?
Brilliant. Just dance on the memories of the dead & dying, creep. I won't even ASK if he has any shame.
Was she white or black?
"Major Cunningham with Salvation Army in New Orleans related a story on Fox about a little boy who walked up to him with a jar of pennies and said his home was destroyed but he wanted to give him the pennies to help other people because he loved Jesus. He said the spirit of America lives on."
That's the Holy Spirit. Beautiful story.
Florita was thrilled. Couldn't believe Geraldo was standing in her house -- and he said he would make certain her dog was safe. Something we know not everyone is doing -- remember snowball!
< Yes. Fox sent in the calvary (er Geraldo). >
I think you mean "cavalry".
Don't you know that Geraldo gets super powers from his mustache. The longer it grows, the more impervious his skin becomes to bacteria and toxins.
After a couple more days, he will be able to personally walk into water of any depth and carry people out with one hand, a microphone in the other, and a single tear coming out of his left eye.
"It's New Orleans, man. We're going to celebrate."
'Brilliant. Just dance on the memories of the dead & dying, creep. I won't even ASK if he has any shame.'
It's either 'eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow you die' or 'Nero fiddles while Rome burns'. Either way it's sick.
What will happen to the US representatives of those people?
They were supposed to get 1000 and put them in the Memorial Coliseum....but they must have miscounted how many they could fit in there.
I note that Flagstaff said they couldnt help....
Tucson Convention Center was the other spot that was going to be set up
< What will happen to the US representatives of those people? >
They'll have to campaign in Texas.
Now AP saying Army contractors were shot on a bridge. Is it possible that the NO police were trigger-happy and shot the wrong people? I would think Army Corps contractors would likely be armed.
Karl, the Army Corps of Engineers is saying that those six guys killed were THEIRS! Contractors!
I posted here late last night about my visit to the Pineville Wal-Mart. Based on what I observed at the checkout lines, it seems to me that there are two classes of people being sheltered in Rapides Parish. First, there were middle-class people who had could afford to leave and travel in style for what they assumed would be a 4-day unplanned vacation. They never realized they would never see their homes, jobs or schools again and weren't prepared for such a catastrophe. Eventually they got evicted from their motel rooms and they're living in the shelters and maxing out their credit cards. Second, there are later arrivals of urban poor from New Orleans who are actually better prepared than the first group because they were already enrolled in the welfare system before the tragedy struck. Put these two socioeconomic classes of people under the same roof and you KNOW it's a recipe for disaster.
Originally, the plan was to get everyone out of the smaller shelters and consolidate them in one spot; i.e., the former Wal-Mart building mentioned in the Jackson article. However, many churches have deliberately pulled out of the Red Cross network because, even though they'll lose their subsidy, they don't want to subject their current occupants to whatever powderkeg might be waiting for them at that larger shelter.
I've heard about the Pentecostal campground in Pineville, but only in the context that its capacity isn't large enough to hold all the church members who want to attend their annual gatherings, so they have difficulty finding hotel rooms during that period.
Most people don't understand that there are only two places to stay in Pineville -- a really dumpy Days Inn next door to a very upscale Sleep Inn & Suites -- and usually those inns are sold out to begin with, because they're already full of military personnel for Camp Beauregard across the street. Anytime there's any sort of troop movement, you can't get a room anywhere near Alexandria. So just imagine what sort of chaos this influx has created here!
Jesse Jacka$$ STFU.
How many families will he support during this transition? How much money has he given to help out?
Good for you. Did you call Fox? You might make certain to get your offer to her if you call and speak to Brian Williams or one of the other anchors.
I totally agree! Thank you for sharing!
