I question the sanity of anyone who chooses to live below sea level.

While...

... I question the sanity of anyone who chooses to live less than 12 feet above average sea level.

Lesson one from Katrina: put someone competent in charge of FEMA. And the President certainly did that.

5. Nagin refused to use the SCHOOL BUSSES to evacuate people because THEY DID NOT HAVE AIR CONDITIONING !!!! About the lamest story I have ever heard!!!

Then he tried to say the school busses were NOT ready to be used...

Which was a bold faced lie because school was to start on Monday & the busses were all filled with gas & ready to be used for school the following day.

I lived the thorough Katrina on the MS Gulf Coast and had no power to see this famous detached picture. In fact I don’t recall ever seeing it. I didn’t even find the government response that bad. Course I didn’t live in democrap run NO.

Nagin - what a loser. I recall a kid commandeered one of those very buses, took it back to his neighborhood, got most everybody there loaded up and drove to Texas. Looks like that particular bus was certainly "ready" to be used - all the way to Texas.

I don’t think he needed to learn anything he didn’t already know.

” Houston is not below sea level.”

Well, for all intents and purposes, it might as well have been over the past few days

(But I still can’t find much to like about SJLee)

I couldn’t believe the left could politicize a hurricane when Katrina hit.....Harry Reid phoned Blanco numerous times telling her not to talk to Bush. That’s why she bawled on the phone. She was caught between a rock and a hard place. Nagin went AWOL.

Houston is 80/ft above sea level

That does not mean they and other areas are higher then the creeks and rivers and lakes by much.

See the water level in these maps.
Scroll half way down for Houston.

Jesse Jackson once said it was better for blacks to hope to get something from Clinton than to actually get it from Bush. That statement alone defines the Democrat Plantation Party.
