Too bad New Orleans city officials didn't use their own school buses to evacuate people before the hurricane hit. In this phot, a young survivor looks out of a bus as he is evacuated from the Superdome September 2. By this point, the Dome was empty, but it was still an evacuation staging area.

Heavily armed police patrol past Hurricane Katrina survivors outside the New Orleans Convention Center, September 2.

This is too "rich." Richland Parish is up near the Arkansas border. While the MSM was mewing about Bush's sins, the rest of LA and the USA were pitching in.
