Thank you.
Yup. Texas has become the national triage center - some of these people need to go elsewhere so we can take more people in and determine what they need. There are concerns that if we don't do this, we'll drop below what we consider minimum care levels for these people. Unlike Louisiana, we do *not* treat people like cattle unless we simply don't have any other choices. If we can get some other states to take people who are stabilized and not in urgent need of care, that will help.
We're *well* over the 100,000 we were initially told to expect. May the Louisianans responsible for this debacle roast in Hell for all eternity.
Rush was standing up to blast the MSM/Dems last week and stand up for the Prez even before all the facts we're known and before almost any conservative nuMedia joined in. I seriously doubt he'll disappoint with all the wealth of knowledge known now.
Mary needs to come to my home and deck me. I've been blaming them non stop. LOL
The several dozen people that MAY have died in the Superdome or Convention Center due to lack of timely resupply of water, ice and food, for whatever reason, will pale in comparision to the thousands of people who were killed by the flooding when they could have been evacuated in advance by the local authorities. And as it becomes more well known that the locals had both the knowledge and responsibilty to take timely action, I wouldn't be surprised if some don't call for their indictment and criminal prosecution.
Too bad, since it looks like the Feds are going to take that decision away from them.
LSP Scanner: Detachment of the Southern Baptist Men driving to location to cook food for emergency crews. They're bringing hamburger meat and all the fixings.
We would probably have needed earplugs at the very least.
Explains it better than I could.
Poor baby. Hasn't he already suffered enough without being enveloped by the crusty black pantsuit?
Could the spelling be Mosely (as in Mosely-Braun)(yuk) or other alternative? Do these data bases require exact spelling?
NautiNurse put a list of links at the start of the thread, which include some links that would be useful in trying to locate people from various areas
As of right now, just about everybody in NOLA has been evacuated to shelters where phone service of some sort exists for them to contact relatives. If no word by late tomorrow, I would start preparing the grandmother for bad news 8-(
Yes, but it took time to clear those roads of debris and import buses since they drowned their own buses. And more time to chase away the armed looters. Getting them out was difficult after the flood. Getting them out when they should have would have been much easier. Just shuttle them to the prepositioned, but mostly unused, Red Cross shelters inland; they had room for 70k people there with food, water, sanitation and electricity. There was time for at least 2 or 3 trips. Maybe they couldn't have gotten everybody out but they could have gotten out a lot, perhaps enough to fill those shelters. Stage pickups at the 5 projects and at the larger hotels and the buses would fill quickly with the merely transportation impaired natives and tourists. Those with special needs should have been in a database with separate folks tasked to get them out.
Russert just gave away the media's game on NBC live. Says the only way Bush can recover from the criticism is to show great leadership in rebuilding New Orleans.
The media invented the criticism and used it as a baseball bat to force Bush to rebuild a Lib stronghold.
You know, Jefferson Parish ought to be sufficient to run the port facilities, I'm really starting to think rebuilding a city that's still below sea level just may not be in our nation's best interests. Perhaps Tim and his friends are willing to fund such a project, but I seem to have lost my motivation.
Watch, as the evidence flood that shows Blanco and the mayor's malicious negligence gains steam, the Left will be screaming for us all to work together and to avoid politicizing a natural disaster.
Guaranteed.
My answer?
"No, you had your round, while people were still dying. Now it's OUR turn."
"Well, that didn't take long at all. Want to bet it's some sort of everything-resistant supermold?"
Funny if it turns out to be some exotic, nearly extinct mold that gets the enviro-wackos all lathered and palpitatiing!
Heehee, that was bad!
If Dubya goes there, they say silly stuff like that, or that he is photo-op grandstanding.
If he didn't go there, they would be screaming from the rooftops that he should be there, he's not there because he hates minorities, etc etc ad infinitum.
No matter what he does, he is going to catch hell either way, so he just keeps doing the right thing, which is why I have a hell fo a lot of respect for him as President. ( and another reason the liberals hate him so much.)
Damn! I go to pick up my daughter and miss the best press conference of the year.
Double damn!
I hope it gets replayed.
Back in for a few minutes...my browser did that too, but I'm stubborn.
I'm sure many pages on the web are being pulled these days, but thank heaven for google cache!
More like "somebody get a rope!"
