I don't know about Chavez, but the Iran offer was from a satirical article I posted. There is no offer from Iran.

Ok, I was shocked. Thanks for the explanation.

The Advance Team for the President has been on the ground since yesterday in MS. He will be visiting there but they need to get the situation stabilized in N.O. and don't need a Presidential visit to interfer.

There is no way I could have interviewed that guy and not have hugged him and let him cry.

Thus the Mississippi, which is 14 feet above sea level, must be flooding in, and presumably the water is flowing through NO into Lake Ponchatrain

Sounds like simple physics to me.

That poor man, and yes, the sweet little reporter was sobbing with him.

People from all over the world want to help THAT man, but they can't find him, according to CNN.

I live in DFW too. Nice to meet you. This whole thing has me weeping. We have family in Mississippi and were visiting there this past weekend and drove home Sunday through Alexandria with all of the refugees. This is a national tragedy unlike anything we have ever seen...so sad.

Iran said "America rebuilt Bam, Iran will rebuild New Orleans."

Wow. No kidding about Chavez and Iran? That's pretty amazing."

The reports were posted here.

Things are going by pretty quickly here, but I'm pretty sure the Iran quote was sarcasm by some poster. Iran didn't really say that(?).

IMHO CNN has been excellent, but Fox has been doing a good job this afternoon, and Shep has been the best at summarizing while conveying the true magnitude and desperation of the situation.
