the media needs to stop sticking microphones in that guy's face

On the contrary, I want that guy to have his own 24 hour news channel!

Maybe he meant to say, because of exhaustion, the NOPD had a contract out on him, not the CIA.

Who's nuttier: Sheehan or Nagin or the LA governor? This crowd and Mary Landrieu only know how to wring their hands and spit out vulgar language and useless threats. What a sorry lot.

Do you know offhand if any information has been published about the location of this mayor and the governor during the period since the state of emergency was declared?

We all recall Giuliani and Pataki being on the job after 9-11.

Where were the NOLA elected officials? What were they doing?

If the mayor had been a Republican and the president was Bill Clinton, those idiots in the press would have those bus pictures on the cover of all their newspapers and shown several times on all their news shows. They would have gone out and found those buses on their own the first day the floods started. And, they wonder why we don't consider them fair and balanced?

"Mayor Ray Nagin tells CNN Saturday night that he believes the CIA will "wipe him out" after his criticism of President Bush "



I heard people who are deprived of their "illegal" medicines often become delusional as well as paranoid.

" How was he elected, who ran against him anyway?"
Probably no one. After all Repubs don't get elected in cities controlled by socialist.

Here's what I don't understand... Where are the churches? Why didn't they at least open their doors for their own card carrying members? If all Methodist Churches in the area had agreed to take in 20 Methodist families, and the Baptist and Catholics had done the same etc., we wouldn't have such a severe problem. Or if those fleeing in cars had been allowed to park in church parking lots and use their bathrooms? Walmart does more than our churches.

How many churches don't have a bus or two? Why couldn't they have sent in a few buses to pull out members of sister churches? And if there aren't "sister churches" within a faith - why aren't there? Do churches exist for the "bigs" who profit and run them? Do they justify the big bucks they earn by sending money to Africa - and the fun trips that go with it? Why aren't they doing jack for their members?

Or for those they "serve"? If American Christianity can't step up to the plate on this one, they're useless.

It's the same in Florida. Many churches are in non-evacuation areas and they don't even open their doors for their own members.

In an area like St. Petersburg, where most people live in evacuation zones, and who's friends live in evacuation zones, the excess stays home in unsafe areas, or they're pushed into unsafe evacuation centers. The churches, if they took care of their own "flocks" would relive pressure at those centers.

Do churches exists for self glorification only? What do they do with the abundance they are given? How many vacations (ummm, missions) do the bigs get a year and how much help do they offer their own in a crisis?

I kind of wondered about this too. Our church is designated as a shelter very short term. When I asked why we were not housing refugees I was told the Red Cross told them they could not house people because there were no showers and only 2 restrooms in the hall. Apparently there are several requirements that must be met before a church is allowed to help in any permanent or long term capacity.

However the local churches are well organized as far as collections and are rotating feeding 200-300 people.

Some of these people remind of a 4 year old who goes up to mom and say " Mom, I didn't bust that cookie jar in the kitchen" Of course mom doesn't know what the kid is talking about, yet!

These are all preemptive attacks cause they know what is coming when people get a chance to examine where the real failures were.

Is hiz honor still getting high in Baton Rouge or in NO?


I saw an interview with him this morning on WBRZ (Baton Rouge TV station). He is still in a suite (26th floor) at the Hyatt in New Orleans.....
www.2theadvocate.com has an interview with Nagin posted on their website. Scroll down to the middle of the page, it is under the WBRZ VIDEO section.
