Does Nagin know where the buses are? No matter, not likely anyone is going to stay behind to drive them this time around.
To be sure, this time the folks know who to blame - and that's themselves for trusting gubmint (especially local) to bail them out.

Hope FEMA gets their gift cards ready. Last years Coach purses may need replacing.

More weather guys with too much time on their hands. I say it's a no go. And I'm no meteoroligist-apparantly they aren't either.

"Gov. Kathleen Blanco, who appeared at a news conference with Strock, said her office was carefully watching the storm and would order evacuations it they became necessary."
Well, well, well... there's a first!
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
Oh fer cryin' out loud. As hurricane "nears?" It's nowhere near New Orleans, and it's not even certain it will ever "near" New Orleans. Talk about yellow journalism!

except this time - they plan to evacuate the busese before the storm, with no people in them, so there won't be any photos of empty buses sitting in water at the depot.
Blanco has it covered all right, don't you worry.

" . . . 220 miles of levee walls."
This is the essence of the problem. If New Orleans is going to be salvaged and rebuilt, at least half of it needs to be leveled and allowed to turn back into wetlands. The debris from the demolition could be used to build a higher levee system around a smaller new New Orleans--based on the historic sections, gambling and the port.

You watch, the first puff of a breeze more than a zephyr and she'll be shipping what "undesirables" she has left in that state to the surrounding states. Everyone ready to take care of 'Refugee, Wave II?'
