9:34 P.M. - Choi - Jefferson Parish sheriff asks all returning residents to only call 911 in the case of a developing emergency. Do not call to report property damage.
9:32 P.M. - KGW reporter Bernard Choi - Jefferson Parish officials are asking returning residents to gas up their cars before they return on Monday. It is unlikely gas will be available within the parish.
8:11 P.M. - St. Bernard Parish President Junior Rodriguez said St. Bernard Parish needs help too. He said they are at the "end of the line."
8:10 P.M. - Rodriguez: Updates on plight of St. Bernard after storm were late in coming because parish officials could not communicate with the outside world. Deputies and firefighters could communicate with each other, but not with anyone else.
8:05 P.M. - Jefferson Parish residents told to bring enough food, water and gasoline for the length of your stay if you return to see your home this week. Parish President Aaron Broussard said nothing will be available to supplement their needs.
7:43 P.M. - Jefferson Parish Sheriff Harry Lee said he doesn't recommend that people return to Jefferson Parish at this time.
7:30 P.M. - BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- Seven children who were separated from their families during a rooftop rescue in New Orleans were reunited Sunday night with their mothers, who found them using a national hotline and Web site.
The children, ranging in age from 5 months to 6 years, had been taken to a special shelter in Baton Rouge after being plucked from apartment rooftops. Their parents were later airlifted and taken to a San Antonio shelter.
State Department of Social Services employees photographed the children once they arrived in Baton Rouge.
7:11 P.M. - Office of Emergency preparedness: Civilian helicopter crashes in rescue attempt. Early report are that the pilot and passenger made it with minor injuries and cuts.
"The plan for the New Orleans officials was "pray the storm misses us like Ivan."
Yes, they were given an opportunity to evaluate their evacuation plan because there were many problems with that evacuation. The were too stupid to study what needed to be worked on and make the adjustments that was necessary.
When Robert F. Kennedy wrote that God punished Mississippi with Hurricane Katrina for electing former lobbyist Haley Barbour as governor, I realized that its not that liberals don't believe in God or morality, but rather that they have an entirely different viewpoint of morality. They even have their own Ten Commandments which are posted below.
I. Thou Shalt Have no other gods before the environment.
II. Thou Shalt Not make to thee any image or likeness of scripture or anything that references or alludes to God and post it a public place.
III. Thou Shalt not take the name of the Supreme Court in vain.
IV. Remember vacation days in union contracts to keep them sacrosanct. For three days shalt thou labor, but the remaining four shall be for recreation.
V. Honor thy Public School teachers and never criticize their methods, curriculum, or results, that they may fill thy campaign coffers.
VI. Thou Shalt not kill except for convenience and sex.
VII. Thou Shalt not judge any consensual sex act as immoral, lest thou be considered a prude.
VIII. Thou Shalt not steal unless it is from a rich man and thou useth the tax code, or if thou art a clever movie character, thou canst do it as well.
IX. Thou Shalt bear false witness and paint a deceiving picture if it advances the cause of liberalism.
X. Thou Shalt Covet thy neighbors house, thy neighbor's car, and thy neighbor's spouse. For thy neighbor hath gotten all of his goods and success by oppressing the poor. Thy covetousness shalt drive thy politics.
I pray that the thugs get what's coming to them.
Haven't heard a peep from Blanco today. Perhaps someone else
saw some coverage about her.
Broussard is as Guilty in this as Blanco.
He failed to implement his duty under the Louisiana Emeregency Plan per the Stafford laws.
He Should go to jail in this too, right along with Blanco and Nagin.
Here's the picture of John Travolta's home.

’VERTICAL EVACUATION’
Mayor Ray Nagin said the evacuation was going well but noted at least 100,000 of greater New Orleans’ 1.5 million people relied on public transit and had no means to leave. He advised a "vertical evacuation" for those left behind, telling them to move to the higher floors of tall buildings to avoid floodwaters that could rise up to 18 feet (5.5 metres).
CUT CUT
"We will have people in the city who will ride the storm out," he said on NBC’s "Today" show. "We are very concerned about the flooding which could basically mimic what happened in 1965 with Hurricane Betsy."
Forecasters countered Nagin’s advice with a caution that a hurricane’s winds increase the higher people go. At the top of a 30-story building, the winds could be 20 to 25 mph (32 to 40 kph) higher than at ground level.
You won't get flamed by me -- I agree!
A fellow employee, who wore a Kerry sticker on her car, was asking me today what was up...I told her a bit about the mayor and governor lack of/ actions: not declaring the evacuation; leaving the hundreds of buses unused, etc etc.
She said isn't LA known for the corrupt government. Reassured her they were. Her comment: "Well, it looks like they are just manipulating to make the president look bad to CYA." They should be strung up somewhere!"
I smiled.
LOL. Good stuff, but did that sleaze really write that about MY governor?
Nice account, makes your heart hurt doesn't it. Yall are doing a good thing.

Now this is interesting!
NAACP Partners with MoveOn to Provide Housing for Disaster Victims
The NAACP will probably "volunteer" to run the fund too.
That money would disappear faster than the money given to levee Boards in Louisiana.
