Okay, I take back my wish that those looting just to steal drown.
Fire ants. Large balls of fire ants, down their pants ten seconds before they realize they're there. Then they can drown.
OK, that's huge (and hugh). The last I saw their website, they had no ETA for getting MSY up and running again. If the highways between Kenner and New Orleans are passable, they'll finally have an ability to begin to deliver large-scale aid in, and get people out.

Govenor Blanco on WWL-TV: 'Stopping the looting is important, but the highest priority at this point is saving lives.'
Thanks for the good news.
The Red Cross, NOT, I repeat, NOT the Salvation Army were the "thieves" during the Sept. 11 recovery. The Salvation Army is (shhh, don't tell anyone) a church organization.
Salvation Army is the charity we picked too.
Also their CEO's are not paid huge salaries like some of the charities, and you won't find them on TV touting their own worth at every opportunity (it seems to me news coverage where Red Cross officials are interviewed is turning into one big commercial for the Red Cross.)
Anything to make Bush look inept.
Wouldn't it be very interesting if a forced detox got a whole bunch of them off of the junk? It's hard to see blessings in all of this, but that could be one.
Updates as they come in on Katrina

Enough.
I've said it before on these threads: I'm not so sure that these particular folks have been "civilized" at all. I would be surprised if 10% of these looters had grown up with a father in the house.
I don't know about you, but if were a resident of St. Charles Parish, and I found looters in my house, I'd shoot them on sight.
Were the looters in St. Charles Parish or on St. Charles Street in New Orleans? I didn't even know there *was* a St. Charles Parish.

Bummer...... put some ice on it.
Relax for a moment please. I backtracked the threads.

Not YOUR hysteria. It is a bad situation. PERIOD. Let's keep focused on getting news out.
Probably St. Charles street, I'm guessing.
I'm sure this has been discussed, but they have GOT TO GET THE PEOPLE OFF THE OVERPASS!!! This is crazy! LA officials, especially NO ones, are acting as if they are surprised the damn place flooded. What the hell is going on?!?!
Too bad there's no ice with the power out. They can't even do that.
This really brings home the scale of what we're talking about here, from WWL's blog (which has been GREAT):
"9:46 A.M. - CNN: Commercial flights coming out of New Orleans International Airport could resume in two months."
TWO MONTHS before commercial flights could leave MSY. Wow.
