Americans, by and large, are just good people.

BFLR. I have a lot of baby & children's items, and will try to contact Exec Jet Services to see what they need, or if they will accept these kinds of donations. Thank you for posting this.

I can hardly wait till the novelty of the charming "victims" wears off and their welcome wears out and the crime statistics start to creep up in their adopted cities. Then what? Where do they go then? Who's gonna love em then?

Is Rush going to fill up his G5 as well?

I read a piece in the local paper today about this. It ended with Perez's obvious ANGER at Bush for not getting "off his ass" and getting help. This man seems to be more motivated by anger at Bush than compassion for the victims.

I hope I'm wrong.

Travolta could do this today. He's a pilot and OWNS his own 707.


Instead, he's making a PR stop in Baton Rouge to "inspect the refugees," whatever TF that means.

Bush's Fault!
