Any unused buses will be pushed into Lake Pontchartrain for that authentic New Orleans bus look. Sad, funny, and true... all as the same time.

There are areas in northern Louisiana that are suffering a drought and would welcome at least a little bit of rain. They didn't get any rain from Katrina.

I sure hope Aaron Broussard has gotten all his people out. If not, we may see him crying on Meet The Depressed again this Sunday.

Despite all the speeches etc about coming back maybe this will FORCE them to come to their $200 billion dollar senses and study just how much of NOLA is really needed New Orleans is the 5th largest port in the world. If you don't rebuild it, where are all our imports/exports in the Gulf going to go?

this could get interesting. A levee failure now would drive a stake through the heart of NOLA. Seems to me there is not a more perfect place for Rita to land than NOLA - already a devastated empty trash heap. Another rinse will only serve to improve the conditions there while sparing the cost of more destruction elsewhere. Rita, meet Big Easy.

I saw a picture of them operating their hurricane machine!
A rare picture of Karl Rove at the controls of his Hurricane Guidance System.

Well of course. President Bush and Karl Rove are steering it towards residents of New Orleans, no matter where they go. I saw a picture of them operating their hurricane machine!
I hope the democrat websites and the MSM don't get a hold of this photo.

I agree, the cost to rebuild for what it is worth just can't be explained. The historic part fine, that is indeed important, but it is primarily on higher ground. The rest of it is kind of crazy to me for what the cost will be to make it flood proof.

Hmmmmm, didn't the Mayor buy a house in Houston? FEMA to his rescue!--AGAIN. He just keeps filling his pockets.
To: backhoe
LOL! What about the Halliburton stamp at the bottom of the machine - missed that, hah?

A mandatory evacuation order is in effect for the entire east bank of the Mississippi, and some 500 buses were standing by at the convention center, but few seemed to be taking advantage. Only 27 people had been evacuated by the end of Wednesday.
Anyone staying behind AFTER a MANDATORY evacuation (which is just plain ignorant) SHOULD NOT CRY FOR HELP AGAIN and claim they are a VICTIM.

For some reason I think New Orleans is going to get hit by this thing again.
