Just stop it! People aren't buying it any longer, so why continue to sell it. Look at your own polls you morons.

I suppose that only federal relief workers are left since the NO police officers in Las Vegas playing the slots and the New Orleans bus drivers union president claims that their contract does not require them to drive out hurricane refugees.

returned nearly empty on Wednesday after volunteers could find only one person willing to come to the U.S. capital, a city official said.

BWAHAHAHAHA!

I f this were the bus to Detroit it would be filled to capacity.  Of course, that would be for the return trip to New Orleans.

Heh, MA had offered space at Otis AF Base on the Cape to evacuees. None were interested. Can't say I blame them.

Well, going from crime ridden New Orleans to crime ridden D.C. is not exactly a win win situation

"Ten buses sent from Washington to help evacuate victims of Hurricane Katrina returned nearly empty on Wednesday after volunteers could find only one person willing to come to the U.S. capital, a city official said."

No harm done. It was all symbolism and no substance anyway.

Perhaps they weren't able to contact those most likely to thrive in that environment.

The looters would fit right in with the bureaucrats.
