I agree.
Come on, Mr. President....follow your instincts.
You are psych(ot)ic.
Bush had a legacy sewn up the moment he stepped into the White House.
Trent Lott's childhood home is gone, too, per CNN.

Learn English or go away. Our patience is thin.
My assessment: If the people of Louisiana reelect that dud Blanco after this... they deserve her. Barbour has been great; honest, forthright and decisive.
That's a heck of a good question, Torie, and I hope it was answered further down the post and I just haven't gotten to it yet.
I thought when morning arrived I'd see people crawling all over those rooves breaking into them to get the people out through the roof and yet what I saw was one helicopter swinging one guy from one house to another and then trying to rescue maybe half a dozen members from one house while across the street were more people on their rooves waiting to be rescued. There should have been an army people crawling all over there with axes getting people into dinghies. They need to get an army of people onto these rooves and get the people out of those attics.
I just kept thinking when they were being shown going into the Superdome that it was not a place I'd want to be.
Even 10,000 people stuck there under drastic conditions is a pretty hopeless situation. But 60,000?
Now they're talking about evacuating the Superdome, how long will it take to get them all out, and where are they all going to go?
Horrible mess.
Barbor an A, Blanco a C-
Those Navy sea stallions can carry 55 people....
Yeah, took time out from the computer to eat supper and looked out the window...It's a light rain though.
You have FreepMail...
I knew that. However, major hurricanes kick up silt and drive it up the river. Deep draft ships which could previously navigate the Mississippi, can "run aground" on the built up silt.
Wow, it only took a day before someone brought up HAARP!
Old news - maybe six hours ago. I wonder what it is like for the junkies, including cigarette smokers (I am one) shut up in the Dome. Are people allowed to leave from the Dome under their own volition, or are they in lockdown?
I am talking about "I would walk/wade a mile for a Camel."
The logistics of this effort are going to be HUGE...
WWL just stated that police crews were running out of fuel for thier vehicles today...
You can send in ANYTHING you want, but if they haven't got gas for the boats and chain saws, and guys to drive the gas, and guys who cordinate the drivers and schedules, etc (you get the point)...
Checking inn from Holiday Inn in Shreveport. Will attemp to return home tomorrow. St. John the Baptist parish has water, but recommends boiling, no electricity, limbs down. Don't know about flooding. Guess I have to see if I make it in tomorrow. On the otherhand, Nothing left in Chenier, La (right before Grand Isle).
I guess the South won't rise again.
Is this the right time to say "the south shall rise again"?
LOL- back to back, fifteen seconds apart
