Shep showed a dead body along the freeway. How low can you go to grandstand? Things are bad in N.O., but he didn't have to show it.

From what I understand, the woman was still alive when this photo was taken.
and then Brit panned out to show that that picture of Cindy really wasn't the "touching" picture it was supposedly portraying...but, that's just my take on what Brit was actually doing.
Thank you for the info on helocopters and payloads etc. I am as frustrated as the next person that people are dying, and perhaps when it's over it will be time to really get down to who should have done what when. However people seem to think it's a simple matter to get food and water in, and if it were, it would be there now.

Shep is a monumental arsehole with a gigantic outsized ego and sense of self importance. In short, he is a disgusting individual
FR is very welcoming...once you show you are not a troll. Indiviual FReepers may not be so welcoming, as ther is a huge variety of opinions here. If you can't deal with dissenting views and occasional rudeness, this is not the place for you. If you can deal with it...Welcome to FR.
"In addition, lots of organizations (I may even have gotten this from the feds) recommend you keep at least $500 in cash on hand at home if it's economically feasible for you to do so."
Cash on hand is always a good idea. Many years ago, when I was a kid (1950s), I remember that my father, who maybe earned $100 a week as an auto mechanic, always had a $100 bill stashed in the back of his wallet.
I learned from that. $100 in 1950 was a lot of money. I keep 10 of those bills in a place I can grab them in an emergency. So far, they've been in that place for years. I hope I never need them.
Shep has more excuses for criminal underclass looters than Carter has liver pills.
I'm been through hurricanes - and so have all the people I've know. I went to a wedding last year where people sat around and swapped stories about what they had been through but no one, and I repeat, on one, talked about looting a store, or shooting at people trying to help them. And it wasn't easy in Florida last year.
The people in New Orleans are acting like criminals. And they started acting that way as soon as the disaster started. They were looking for an excuse to loot and cause mayhem. It wasn't the other way around.
We need to rethink the underclass. And how we deal with them. I'm tired of giving them "disability" -- the new welfare. They might respect property more if they had to work for it every now and then. And Shep? He needs to get real...
You cited a specific and didn't like my answer. Don't try to tied the two.
But I'll bet a dollar that the closest you've ever been to emergency management or triage is your tv set.
You and a whole gaggle of twits can sit and snipe from the safety of your air conditioned homes and have little idea of what's really going on there, but y'all know so much more than they do.
Y'all the mirror image of the liberal detractors who don't have anything constructive to contribute and can only blame Bush for bad weather.
LOL!
I think long term we will send a stronger message on our strength and willingness to continue our way of life.
You are so right. We do have an indomitable spirit, and we do seem to sometimes learn from our experiences.
Considering you don't know the gentleman, you are unaware of the nature of the comment he made....you made a false assumption and went into attack mode based upon that false assumption.
I do not need to defend Mr. King - he replied to you, yet you have chosen to focus on me.....I'm done with you.
Enjoy Free Republic, but try to figure out some of the regulars before you start making false assumptions.
Wonder if anyone from Fox has ever won a Pulitzer? BTW, do Pulitzers apply to TV journalism or is that only for written journalism?
Saw it twice, the first time he was agitated at the NY studio for showing what he called the "wrong tape"
What ?
What about the thousands who are at the convetion center?
Its the Wal-Mart, Windows syndrome. ;)
GAG! that is even worse.
I agree with you, but there are some tough questions to be answered nevertheless, including why, with our incredible engineering and technology skills, the levees weren't built to hold up. Surely someone, somewhere did a computer modeling study of exactly what the levess could withstand. I'm willing to bet that there is a person out there who repeatedly warned about such a dissaster who wasn't listened to.
Good afternoon.
"If don't want to deal with the reality of the situation, turn off the news."
With what I'm seeing on FNC and reading here in the FreeRepublic I'm starting to think I should do just that.
I think I'll go listen to Jackson Browne sing "Before The Deluge" and try to put this all in perspective.

Shep has been complaining for three days now about all these people that have moved to higher ground and then just wander around aimlessly without food or water. No one is communicating with them. I can't believe the guys in charge can't figure out a way to drop in food and water to these people.
