I that the bridge that goes to Foley???????
Turning off Hannity until Newt is dismissed. I really have had my fill of grandstanding ex politicians.
Which he never, never once, has come close to doing. She is a disgusting human being.
In other news, I heard Ellis Henican say that we really can't depend on the local officials to respond in a disaster like this, because they've lost their families and homes also. He said it's all the Fed's job.
Too bad it's not the whole thing - it's only him saying b.s. portion
I wonder how many drug addicts lived in NO. Will they need medical attention for withdrawal?
OH, there will be a Congressional investigation, just like there was for 9/11....
BUT, you can bet that people like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and others will INSIST on a 9/11 type commission, because they will charge that there will too much CYA in a congressional one or something.
I may be wrong, I am a lot of times...but I really think someone will call for a "independent" Commission.
Gingrich now "expanding" his critique to include local and state government, but still saying the federal government wasn't able to get assets in there within 24 hours.
U.S. 98 highway bridge over Mobile River. Crosses up near where paper mills are. About 3 miles above Wallace (1-10) tunnel.
Newt says that mardi gras 2006 should be our target to getting new orleans up and running again.
My dad was a Chinook instructor at Rucker for 4 years. I was born there.
I'm not sure and have no experience w this - I suspect there's at least 1 FReeper out there who knows. It seems to me that the Fed Gov't should at least have control over the foreign funds that have been donated and the $s - Katrina Governors's Fund that GWHB and Bubba are working on.
I also think that before $.01 goes out of any fund, there needs to be a detailed plan and the GAO or some auditing team needs to get detailed receipts and account for every penny spent. There also need to be detailed RFPs for all work proposed and whichever companies win the proposals need to sign a contract w a limited contingency fund and limited overrages - we don't need any Big Digs down south.
Gosh almighty.
The LEFT makes the most low-down, outrageous charges, wall-to-wall on every newscast and every news venue. Then WE---Republicans---reply with, "That is wrong---it is EVERYONE's fault. Ours too."
WHY do we placate and equivocate and bend over and cowtow to the left!???
4 p.m. ET FEMA presser coming up per MSNBC.
Fox just had on Col. Cowan, who I have always respected, but he just said he "doesn't know why the FEDS drug their feet and didn't get in there fast enough"...
I think he needs to talk to the Admiral I referenced earlier, and others that have been on record in the military, that have said they WERE on notice and doing what they could...
I would have thought better of Cowan.
BUT! Mary would not let the Feds take over.
However, the announcement was immediately overshadowed by a barrage of criticism and attacks from a local Jewish rabbi, a Catholic priest and the president of the Police Association of New Orleans (PANO). The opposition was based on Capt. Dennis affiliation with the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam.

Mardi Gras 2006 might actually have "floats".
Typical.
Newt slaps the President but doesn't want to go after someone advocating violence to the president? Reminds me of McCain, only I think McCain has more sense then Newt. And I'm far from McCain's biggest fan.
It's a reflex among most pilots. However, I suspect the FAA isn't going to care a whole lot about this one under the circumstances. They will probably send someone out to look at the wreckage eventually (if it's still there when they get around to it.) Right now, the FAA is busy signing waivers for area operations, re-establishing air traffic control, and helping out in any way they can.
I find it quite amazing how understanding the three-letter-agencies have become in the wake of this.
Thanks for the heads up; I'll be watching.
