UPDATE: I just saw on the local news, they got to the dome and there was only one person left, and he didn't want to go to DC - so they picked up a couple of college students who needed transportation to DC and are on their way back.

Hmmm, I guess the NYC convoy of 100 buses will turn around too.

Dude! I had the best time in New Orleans. I rode out this killer storm, and they drove me home for free!

Empty buses? Hmmmm where have I seen empty buses before

NAGIN: I need reinforcements, I need troops, man. I need 500 buses, man. We ain't talking about -- you know, one of the briefings we had, they were talking about getting public school bus drivers to come down here and bus people out here.

I'm like, "You got to be kidding me. This is a national disaster. Get every doggone Greyhound bus line in the country and get their asses moving to New Orleans."

That's -- they're thinking small, man. And this is a major, major, major deal. And I can't emphasize it enough, man. This is crazy.

Louisiana disaster plan, pg 13, para 5 , dated 01/00

'The primary means of hurricane evacuation will be personal vehicles. School and municipal buses, government-owned vehicles and vehicles provided by volunteer agencies may be used to provide transportation for individuals who lack transportation and require assistance in evacuating'...



they're thinking small, man!
they're thinking small, man!

they're thinking small, man!

they're thinking small, man!

small thinking man! small thinking man!

What is it with RATS and logistics? They seem to have a huge black hole when it comes to simple logistics.

Not that I'm complaining, mind you :)

Give 'em hell fagot Catania!

Wonder what took them so long?? S\

After all, the MSM & lefties have done naught but berate the President for taking too long, and damn, they show up late.

But WTOP Radio has learned the city had already been evacuated.

Don't tell that to the US Coast Guard and Air Force who are plucking people off roof at this very moment. There are thousands of people still in New Orleans, just none where that Feminine Geraldine was throwing a temper tantrum.
