...and algore invented the internet.
The media is out of control with lies!! I am just sick hearing this..how in God's name can we combat this?
I don't know about the bus but he was pitching bottles of water out of a helicopter at a stranded citizen. BTW, Nagin has a lousy arm.
I cant believe I got thru the whole piece!
What a leader.
Poor guys they really look tired.... and sooooooooo young! Good job guys!
Now, every time I use red plastic picnic cups, I'll be laughing. LOL (Now humming Bob Hope's signature song, "Thanks for the Mem-o-ries".)
Does she ever see her child, or is Jamie just a house husband?

FAMILIES SEPARATED DURING KATRINA TO REUNITE
DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES NEWS RELEASE

FAMILIES SEPARATED DURING KATRINA TO REUNITE
BATON ROUGE -- Seven children who were separated from their families during a roof-top rescue in New Orleans have been identified and will soon be reunited with their mothers.
Within hours of establishing a national hotline and website to locate children missing during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the children were identified and their parents located.
The children, ranging in age from 5 months to 6 years, were rescued from their apartment roof-tops by helicopter and taken to a shelter in Baton Rouge. Their parents were later air-lifted and taken to a shelter at Kelly USA, the former Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio.
When the children arrived at the special children's shelter Saturday, Department of Social Services employees photographed them. One, a two-year-old girl saw her likeness and said, "Gabby." That information was included with her photo and posted on the website: www.missingkids.com.
At about the same time, her mother reported that her child "Gabby" was missing to a Texas child protection services worker who then relayed the information to the National Association for Missing and Exploited Children, and the connection was made.
"By the grace of God, the system worked in this case," said Joe Newport of "Team Adam" with the NCMEC.
DSS officials immediately began making arrangements to reunite the families, and plan to fly the children to San Antonio Sunday afternoon through Angel Flight.
The children and their parents are: Zaria Love, 3, and Tyreek Love, 14 months, and Felicia Love, mother; Deamonte Love, 6, and Darynael Williams, 5 months, Katrina Williams, mother; Degahney Carter, 3 and Keyshawn Carter; Gabrielle (Gabby) Alexander, 2, and Marcaleena Alexander, mother; and Leewood Moore Jr., 2, and Yawanda Byrd, mother.
For information about missing children, call (800) THE LOST or visit the website at www.missingkids.com.
