"video on FNC - some kind of pump has started."

I'll take your word for it -- I lost my stomach for FNC this morning with Julian and Juliette on F&F..

Quit tolerating the rest of 'em on Friday...

Glad y'all with stronger constitutions are here to report the facts.

I think that there is another rathergate brewing in all this. Just sit and monitor some of the neighborhood boards at nola.com. There are folks there who know people, etc. who are connected to members on the Levee Board. Comments there suggest corruption, gambling, a casino. Googling levee board new orleans turns up some really weird things, as well.

You know, I'm not afraid of what the President will do with his next pick, but Mark just gave a solid GOOD response I can respect that was respectful to all concerned. Wish certain other columnists could learn from his example...

The guy kind of mumbles a bit as well.

Did you forward a copy to FOX -- Hannity, O'Reilly (I suspect he will be on this like a dog with a bone) and Joe Scarborough?

What about a class action lawsuit on behalf of the general public against the media? Seems to me that, especially in this instance, deliberately reporting falsehoods is endangering the welfare of citizens - like shouting "fire" in a crowded theater, knowing there's not really a fire, but just to "see what would happen."

Either that or he's in sync, but I suspet it's a combination of both. I'm glad I avoided Gibson and stuck with Hannity's show, it was the better choice.

"Jessa Jatson talking on WWL about moving people into Louisiana state parks and "creating jobs."

As usual, he's a day late and a $ short - SOL said yesterday morning she had just signed a bill to help get all of these folks jobs.

Better to be safe in a traffic jam on high gtound, than dead.

If they had used the incoming lanes on the highway, there would have been no traffic jam. Those buses could have gone full speed in their own lanes.

< Someone who was a relief worker talked about the rapes and bathrooms that had already been nearly destroyed. >

If you are talking about the Astrodome, I have trouble believing that. Greta is there and has had nothing but glowing reports about what's going on there. She even mentioned this morning that someone is in the bathooms every HOUR cleaning and picking up. From video you can see LE everywhere.

Have you added this photo to your collage? The streets are (and were) dry, on the west bank of the Mississippi.

The superdome fiasco slowed the rest of the response by days. The problem wasn't the people who died at the superdome but the diversion of resources to the superdome that let many more others die.

Second big mistake was not blowing up "bayou savage" to let the lake drain much faster.

Pumping has begun - on WWLTV right now.

No breaches yet.

Ut is my understanding that the contra lane procedure was used but, unfortunately their were no buses to roll.
