Bush's fault.

The Navy mining removing taskforce has been hard at work finding sunken debris which might harm a ship and clearing it.

Our military personnel have done incredible jobs as soon as the hurricane left La..

Getting all that junk out of the way of our fishing boats will be good for the economy of NO's.

Come to New Orleans for a great fishing vacation in the Big Easy! Can trophy stripers in the new Lake Haliburton. The Evil Bushes love it.

An alert FReeper posted several days ago that some of the port facilities were already back in business by then, and that several barges were already loaded up and on their way up the Mississippi. Webcam shows a cruiseship with stacks smoking.

It's real quiet on the railroad front. Without a doubt they are working diligently on their railyard problems and don't have time or anybody to spare to come uptown and make political speeches. The trains have to move, and they shall.
