ClarionLedger online from Jackson, MS had a picture of t-shirt vendor set up on MS Gulf Coast with "Official Katrina Survivor" t-shirts.

Would you loot a case of Heineken's for me, please, while you're at it? When "everybodies" store opens, I need some diet coke.

See----Honore gets it.

HE knows that the coverage of Katrina....was bogus as to the actual conditions that CAUSED the problems...and the actual help that was ready to move in..if just allowed.

He isn't gonna let the media put out lies this time.

We need him to be moved to Texas, ASAP!

where is the Weather Channel sending Jim Cantore?????

There's really no better television than watching a guy try to talk while standing sideways. Riveting.

Mayor Nagin said The FEDERAL government is doing a lot better this time around!!!!" CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

This guy is so oblivious that he is dangerous, as has become obvious to anyone with a brain.

Whyisa, if it make you feel any better, I would gladly park in CD's driveway, too, if she was closer. I just don't think I can hold it all the way down to south Texas.

He does need a new phrase. I mean... it was good for the first week but now it's starting to get stale. How about "don't let Rita hitcha where the good Lord splitcha" or something?...:-)
