I am getting the impression on all news channels a hint upset... that hurricane has calmed down and moved east.

Well, just read about the jog east. Sounds promising for me, I can't deny it.

Got a kick out of seeing the FoxNews guy there in Port Arthur at the Gulfway Drive intersection.

Oh, well. Have some other things to attend to. Thanks for the nice welcome, everyone!

Anyone listening to WWL (United Radio Broadcast)?
They keep replaying an ad saying, "We will not let the city that care forgot become a city that forgot to care."
What?

"See, I can't get past that bleach thing. They say to add bleach to the water and that just freaks me out."

It's a very small amount, something like a drop per gallon and you don't drink it right away, you wait something like an hour before drinking. Water from your tap has been treated with chlorine - same thing as in bleach.

Got tons of supplies. Lots of food, gasoline, a generator. As these things go, I'm basically prepared.

Another favorite MSM tactic to appear 'fair and balanced' is to diminish the conservative side, mention it yet minimize and trivialize it.

For example, 'some say that Louisiana politicians dropped the ball, but the vast majority of experts fault FEMA and Bush'.

WTF? What vast majority of experts? MoveOn.org?

They did even worse thousands of times while the 'assault weapon' law was sunsetting. 'Some dumb, redneck, single-toothed, knuckle-dragging, psychotic gun nuts claim that the end of the AW ban will not cause wild west armageddon, but all smart, thinking, knowledgeable police chief parodies realize that gangs of rabid meth-soaked murderers, stymied for ten years by this common-sense legislation, will soon be raping Grandma and spraying cop-killer bullets on every playground from their new Uzis and machine guns'.

They aren't really wishing for death and destruction, it's just that in their world this is very very exciting.

So John Roberts thinks FEMA didn't preposition anything for Katrina? He said because of elections FEMA did it in 2004 and now it is overkill for Rita.

I think John Roberts of CBS is Stuck on Stupid!!

Anybody know the situation in Terrebonne Parish? I've been away from the computer for a while with other issues.

I talked to friends in Houma a couple of hours ago. They were convinced everything was fine and went out to eat to celebrate (I know, I know) despite my concerns. Then I noticed that the area, according to the loop I've been watching, seemed to be getting hit a bit worse that they expected.

I'm thinking they might have gotten hit by high winds even while they were at the Waffle House.

According to some survival websites, add 1/2 tsp bleach to 5 gallons of water.

Why does that not surprise me. He has put his foot in his mouth (that hole in his extra large head) many times.
