As a handful of pumps toiled to drain the water out of a sprawling city today, the New Orleans police said they would force the 10,000 or so residents left in the city to leave and Louisiana officials warned of long-term damage to the area's environment.

Mayor C. Ray Nagin should be fired as of today! He is criminal in his dereliction of duty and he wants to blame everyone else. No relief money should EVER be put anywhere near this man. And as for the Environmentalists, 30+ years and billions of dollars have gone to LA under Democrats to fix the levee problem - it has not been fixed and perhaps can never be fixed. No More United States Tax Dollars to vanish into the Louisiana political soup pot.
....and they thought the Feds were late?
I thought all the police were on vacation in Las Vegas?
Who is going to enforce this order? Not the US military that's for sure...
On Fox News last evening, they said that the N.O. police had been moved out and the federal marshals would be taking their place.

Police? What police? All you have to say to the NOPD is BOO! And they will take off running!
Praying that this works.
But also wondering if the ALCU is being called in. </sarcasm
Oops
But also wondering if the ACLU is being called in. </sarcasm
They see better potential "winnings" in the unsecured homes they're going to forcibly evacuate. Any valuables will be "taken into police custody." (wink wink)
And with no witnesses around they can start declaring eminent domain and begin bulldozing for land speculators.
The N.O. government is looking like a professional crime syndicate.
That is incredibly funny... Mayor of the Mudpuddle... you are a hoot :)
At the suggestion of writer Michelle Malkin last Friday, I have cobbled together a blogsite called Texas Clearinghouse for Katrina Aid to serve as a clearinghouse for refugee efforts in Texas.
Texas is getting more refugees than any other state -- that's fine, we'll take them all -- but we need help providing them with food, clothing, and shelter.
If you are a refugee, you can information that will help you find relief. If you want to donate or volunteer, you can find someone who needs you.
Right now the site mostly covers Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas but I will add various churches, schools, and other charities in Lubbock and Austin tonight. My wife was down at Reunion Arena in Dallas yesterday handing out care packages and spiritually ministering to the refugees as a representative of her employer. She says that the situation is tragic and that there's a lot of work to be done. There are so many children who don't know where their parents are or even if their parents are still alive.
There are a lot of churches and other organizations in Texas that need help in dealing with the problem and I would appreciate it if you would get the word out.
Many thanks,
