LOTS of jobs should be posted this week in the Elkart-Goshen-South Bend area as Fema is awarding huge contracts to trailer manufacturers.

We went through this a few years ago after the Homestead storm, but this will be 3-5 times as large!!

Evacuees (even little Goshen has 4 families, with more coming) will find it EASY to get jobs!

I do believe they have run most of the names through wants and warrants when they arrived to the shelters... But isnt downtown Houston a little sketchy?

That was a very coherent and well thought out letter you wrote. His response to you speaks volumes about his current state of mind. The only thing I can imagine is that he knows he backed the wrong horse the last couple days, and now he's buried himself too deep to admit he's wrong.

You asked about the school buses being washed out.

KALB reported that Grant and Natchitoches Parishes are resuming normal school bus service Tuesday. However, Rapides Parish will not allow students to ride their buses until they are completely disinfected, perhaps by Friday, and they had a clip of buses being washed. I wondered exactly where the Rapides Parish buses went, and it sounded to me like they were used to transport people to shelters in East Baton Rouge.

I drive my child to school, not only because of the reports of bullying, but because I have personally witnessed too many incidents of reckless driving involving school buses. People don't drive responsibly here to begin with, and the school bus operators are no exception. There are too many accident involving school buses reported both on KALB and The Town Talk for my liking.

Also, there is a big desegregation problem in Rapides Parish which has resulted in children being bused to schools miles out of their neighborhood in order to achieve racial balance. There is also an incentive program to get children to voluntarily attend distant schools called "majority to minority," which basically means that the finest public schools are located in the worst neighborhoods. However, the M-to-M buses have to drive so far out of their way to pick up the kids who willingly participate in this exchange that they stop at your house a good two hours ahead of when school actually starts in the morning. There are many families here where no one has a driver's license, so people who have no choice simply stand outside in the dark that early to wait for the bus. However, as long as I have the option, I don't want any part of it.

If I see any more stories about buses being washed, I'll keep you posted.

Where do you think they developed their "shoot first, ask stupid questions later" attitude? :)

uh, ya to say the least, but the southwest side of Houston is much worse IMHO than downtown,,,I say they take those gang punks down to southwest side and stand em on a street corner, give it 5-7 minutes and chances are our thugs here will get em with a random drive by shooting,,,,

"He truly MUST have watched his shows and felt embarrassed for what HE was saying...to take it out on you."

Amazing. That was exactly the impression I got. Joe knows he's wrong and he's backed himself into such a corner he's got no other option than to lash out. Idiot. All 50,000 of his viewers deserve to lose the braincells the shed by watching him.

DEMS are screaming because they realize this mass relocation will cost them SEATS, and when it comes down to it, that's all that seems to matter to them...

I believe that's why JESSE is fighting so hard to get people BACK in New orleans!!

What do you mean "random"?

At least here our gangsters have decent aim and rarely take out bystanders.
