The lack of refining capacity in the U.S. is becoming less of an issue as time goes on. The U.S. is now at a point where it doesn't just import raw crude oil -- we also import refined gasoline from other countries, too.

At some point in the future I can envision a scenario where we import 100% of our oil products, including gasoline.

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

Then shame on you!!

Please start a "hurricane humor" thread. The Live Thread has a purpose - news, analysis and background to help us understand and hopefully do constructive things to help matters.

How would they know? Who is they?

[RDTF]

I think every one of us posted that at the same time LOL.

[Deguello]

"but it would still be hellish."

No Water=No Sanitary Facilities

[Political Junkie Too]

That's what I figured. How about comandeering some cruise ships?

You have misunderstood me. I think that it is wonderful for people to open up their homes. I just think that it is going to be a very long time before these poor people are back on their feet. I really do not know what the answer is.

CNN is also showing Pics of Jail Inmates sitting on an exit ramp. Lots of folks with shotguns standing by as well...

What happens AFTER Dark with this crowd??

[r9etb]

FEMA caravans are enroute to the North Shore, and other affected areas....

Good. The topic in question was the use of cruise ships. What's the composition of the FEMA caravan? Ground transport, boats, or what?

[Republic]

ROFLMAO!

You should have seen the complete email I send to jamie gorelick...lol....had I sent it to CNN...their building would have exploded (house of cards and all that!)

[al baby]

I even have a little crush on 'howlin'. You know that Howlin is a girl, don't you?

It's just a little crush. I don't think its a slap and tickle kinda thing whats the big deal Now have some cinnamon toast

Prayers to All in Katrinas path and wake

[popdonnelly]

Yeah, I was watching CNN when one of those Sheehan commercials came on, and I nearly had a seizure.

[Dog]

Jail break..

[pies]

CNN just showed a prison that is flooding. Cars in parking lot covered with water. Prisoners sitting on roadway.

At some point in the future I can envision a scenario where we import 100% of our oil products, including gasoline.

Maybe that will change after this most recent disaster. Naw.

[Not A Snowbird]

I come to this thread for info on the Gulf Coast not what cable channels are the flavor of the day.

The choice of cable channel is very relevant if you want good info.

[Txsleuth]

Okay....CNN fans, this Cafferty idiot is just one of the reasons that I don't watch CNN...he is a joke..

What exactly did he say, so I can be angry too?

[uncbob]

They had a scare last year that something like this might happen

That was the first time I saw that NO was in a bowl surrounded ny water

That scare SHOULD have had the officials getting ready for what the hell could/did happen

THere ought to be a national campaign to urge people not to build and continue to move into these type areas

Here in the east vacation homes still go up at the Jersey Shore

[nuclady]

Well, as long as you are sending an e-mail (which I think is great), send another to Wolfie - he SET UP that question. Good Lord, it was so OBVIOUS. I can act better on stage than that, and be a hell of a lot more convincing!!!

And yes, I will be sending an e-mail to Wolfie telling him how transparent he is. As I said on an earlier comment, I switched channels after that crap, and won't go back. I get all I need right here on FR.

Good for you!!
