WWL is showing the military picking up people in NO from different locations. Shep is grandstanding when he says no federal folks are there. They are getting to all the people as fast as they can.

Apparently so.

People are dying and yet D.C. fusses over his posture. It's absurd.

Let me guess, it was a case of 'Not in My Backyard!!'?.

They explained on the radio from OKC that what you are paying for is the contracts they are signing to refill the tanks. Fortunately, where I buy gas they signed a contract before the hurricane.

I nominate this as the final word on the matter!

I second the nomination.

I refuse to waste another second arguing with people more concerned with "feelings" then action.

Mr. President, thank you for the briefing. Good job. Ignore them, I know you will, and continue organizing efforts that will save lives rather than score PR points. God Bless.

The problem in D.C. is that they all go to the same cocktail parties. Insularism is the result.

Does the mayor include his competance in those figures?

I am sure he is still getting paid and has a bed to sleep in and food and water.

He is working behind the scenes and for that people should be grateful, but to put blinders on as to how he appears to the public is not real.

He should be doing his job and making sure that all of the Americans affected by this tragedy have their needs met. However, ALL Americans want to know that our president speaks for them when they cannot do so themselves. Also, expressing the frustration that people must have in not knowing what to do for their fellow Americans and offering ways for them to do so would not be a bad idea either.

Well, the ACLU had better think about that long and hard. After all, with that many people leaving LA the state could well turn red, and that few people added to Texas won't amount to a bump on a bull's backside. I would say that the DNC has to figure out a way to get those folks back before they lose yet another state.

I know what you mean about your blood pressure. Hey, we're armchair warriors and doing what we can.

Actually I like the "pajama posse" but "armchair warriors" will work!

September is going to be interesting. Able Danger, Judge Roberts and the blame game for this disaster in the Gulf. It's not going to be pretty. We'll have to eat well, exercise and make sure we up to the task :-)

I'm tryin'. If I were not workin' out and trying to eat well, I probably would've bought the farm by now. You keep up the exercise and good diet too, 'K?

You take care, Christian.

And you also, Peach.

I have never written it referring to conservatives before, but those wet blankets with coiffures just annoy me. They always have to show how superior (in some way) they are to a Texan, TANG fighter pilot, Harvard MBA, ex-Major League Baseball club owner, POTUS.

MS & AL (& their leaders) are fairing much better than LA.

Exactly. Thank you.

Well this is cr@ppy, all I get when clicking the video link is 'rtsd not a registered protocl'. I didn't get to see the speech either, and now I'll have to wait for C-SPAN to re-air it. Boo.

If that's the kind of human one has to be to get wealthy, I'd rather be poor.

I'm glad I am not your employee. I can just see you telling the workers the next day: "Sorry, but I can't afford to refill the tanks because we didn't get enough cash from selling that last tankful to refill it at the new, higher prices!"

And tell me...if the prices go DOWN, would you conversely sell the fuel at the price you bought it?

Well said. The perfume they use is "Aire de Arrogance."
