What good is a plama tv if there is no electricity or cable to tap into?

Yep, Houston was already a horrible place, and I'm sure 200,000 additional welfare recipients will do wonders for it...

The only ones who want to stay are those who have something worth protecting and those who want to steal it.

One other thang:

I've been just about everywhere and the prettiest women on Earth can be found in Houston and... (before some photo of a morbidly obese woman standing by the Astrodome is posted in rebuttal)...in great numbers!

It has sumpin' do do with the humidity in the "air-conditioned city".

I bet there were more than 100,000 that remained behind and it wasn't solely because they didn't have a way out. They just didn't believe or heed the warnings and the belated mandatory evacuation notice by Nagin. The last time the city experienced a major hurricane was 40 years ago.

"Texas ain't that great of a place."

It's obvious you don't really know what you're talking about.

This still IS the United States of America. If they choose to remain that's fine. Let them remain and move on.

I agree, but for a different reason. If they're too stubborn, stupid or greedy to leave then they're not worth the effort. There are plenty of others who are waiting to be rescued.

Texas ain't that great of a place. Houston is one of the last place I'd want to end up.

Fine, we'll put you on the "do not admit" list.

Tragic loss for us, that.

Let's review the process:
Reality: Cat 5 in the gulf?
Reaction: I'll stay

Reality: Cat 4 on my house?
Reaction: I'll stay

Reality: Levee topped?
Reaction: I'll stay

Reality: Fresh water gone?
Reaction: I'll stay

Reality: Food gone?
Reaction: I'll stay

MSM SCREAMS ! Where is the help ?


.....

Exactly! Anti-American, anti-Disaster Relief effort Tim Russert just told one of The Bush Admins men he "flunked".
Let it be recorded for history, THAT the people who are screaming, kavetching and playing the race and blame cards ARE THE SAME PEOPLE who are not giving aid and comfort to the survivors NOW. They are distracting, obstructing and preventing Katrina disaster Relief & Rescue people and related administration people from aiding the survivors effectively who are there on the front lines now! Tim Russert needs to be tried for treason for his negligent behavior.
The Bush Admin. should no longer waste precious time debating an obvious dissenter like a Tim Russert.

WALK THROUGH THE TIM RUSSERTS OF AMERICA WORDS, IGNORE THEM, DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELVES TO BE SUCKED INTO THEIR Anti-American black hole. Time is precious now.

Andy was a handful, that's for sure.

But then again, in New Orleans, they can tell where you got those shoes and how much you paid for them.

That's where all their loot is stashed. They're waiting for the power to come back on so they can start watching their ten new plasma TVs.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand your post. I've already been called something essentially synonymous as a wimp. Am also on news and hatemongering by the left overload

The best I could manage at this point if I had a gun is pull a Scarlett O'Hara and shoot a yank who was probably going to rape me and plunder my home. I'm a yank.

Let the men run things and do as they are wont to do. In my better days, I learned survival skills that never involved stealing or harming anyone. God took care of me I don't mind being dependent on Him. I do what is feasible for me and let Him worry about the rest.

I'm entering the phase of my life where I am going to be dependent on someone of group of people and will be considered a "useless" eater. If anybody tries to steal my stuff in a nursing home and I have any strength left at all, I'll try to choke them. I would like to believe that my human dignity and feelings will be respected.

Your post has to be one of the most ignorant and cold hearted I've ever read on FR. These people are in shock and in survival mode, which turns even the most polite into a savage, but for you to disparage all the work and effort and sacrifice going on in all parts of this country to help these people relocate is cruel.

These people are not being treated like cattle, and you have no idea how many people in Texas, and elsewhere, who have opened their own homes to complete strangers!

For you to even suggest they are better off dead sickens me

Your southern unhospitality and bad manners are showing. I said I don't like big cities. Any of them. What is so hard to understand about that? Texas is too hot. If the air conditioning goes, I'm dead. What is so hard to understand about that?

Top of my list Chicago.

BTW what is the northern part of the crime family doing for the southern branch?

And don't bother rescuing them when they signal for help. They've had their chance. Rescue personnel can't waste time to go back to the same locations over and over again.
