I heard her long enough to hear her say that the government isn't doing enough right now and isn't ever going to do enough.

IMO, those reporters need to be rotated out of there.

those reporters need to be rotated out of there.

IMO - all reporters need to be out of there.

Then you won't know what is going on. I would like to know.

I came back from over in the Lake Charles area of LA a short time ago. While coming west on I-10 inside the Texas line maybe 10 miles from the La. line I met a large army convoy heading east into La [I suspect NG but not sure]. A short distance behind them was another convoy of maybe 10 US Coast Guard Pontoon boats maybe 30 ft long headed east. And then at a rest stop on I-10 there was a large group of military vehicles, Army maybe 75. Next came a line of Texas State Troopers [I estimate 30 vehicles] headed east bumper to bumper with their lights flashing. I don't think they could or would be going into LA.....

So my guess is they were headed to the state line getting ready to escort a group of evacuees out of the NO area that are headed to the Astrodome. Just a guess.

I've was on I-10 early today in the Houston area and there are now lots of movement headed east associated with rescue, portable generators to get large commercial structures some power, construction, people themselves in their vehicles with their belongings they brought, etc. Mobilizations is now beginning to appear but yet has a long way to go.

DG you maybe getting some influx to the Astrodome shortly.

Listened to news conference on 870 WWL radio on the way home. They (Gov and Sen) both patting themselves on the back as how they have responded to the disaster. Senator Mary (AKA Twitch) Landieu must have run out of complimentary words to praise the governor. Then the senator started a rant on the Bush administration, blaming the lack of communication as responsible for civil conditions and L&O breakdown. While never naming Bush by name, she said the government has known since 9/11 that communications are a problem and have not addressed it. Went on for a few minutes.
