What Douglas said...I've not seen any elderly folks complaining!
BTTT
This story isn't going to go away by the time Roberts is confirmed.
Nobody will care about a fight, and Chuckie knows it.
They just got blown off the national stage.
Turn on Tucker Carlson....he's on site and has knee-hi boots on....
That's nice of Brett, but I hope the gangstas don't commandeer the trucks with the chain saws and take them to the Astrodome, or we will have another....
TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE!
> Do you drink a gallon of water a day?
Easily... though often it is constituted with fermented grains and hops.
You can drink 16 glasses of 8 oz water in a day?
I guess they'll have the Xerox machines at the ready next time. No plan, no water, no nuttin - but it will look better.
Banks just love to loan money without security and guarantees.
"You want us to loan you money to build on a toxic waste site? One subject to massive flooding? We're supposed to trust you that bad things won't happen because you personally assure us that you will pay us back even if the everyone in your building dies within a week and the building is washed away a year later."
DING, DING, DING! We have a winner! Willie Green will be the next Governor of Louisiana!
Actually I shed light on the murkiness you've been selling. Tough job but somebody has to do it.
LOL!! That's WAY different than a gallon of plain old tasteless water! :)
Already sent them an email., thanks ;)
His and Steve McNair's chainsaws are headed to Mississippi.
"I spent my off day watching television and the media is doing their absolute best to turn the disaster in Louisiana into President Bush's Rwanda."
I think they're making themselves look like fools. Bush can't stop hurricanes, he can't make the levees hold, and he can't make up for the incompetence of State and local officials.
On our major local news station, the two afternoon announcers were actually griping that people are trying to blame Bush, and that it was ridiculous.
And how is it that every other State is able to handle hurricane disasters, but Louisiana is making a complete botch out of it?
And the great state of Texas welcomes our neighbors!
LA State Police liason officer walked off the job at the 'dome'
"Walked off the job" as in end of shift or "walked off the job" as in dereliction of duty?

Not certain, but it appears that the NG was begging for law enforcement assistance at the Dome in loading people on buses.
Whenever the LSP LNO left -- no one took his place. You think the LSP command would have noticed as the Dome has a high media profile.
despicable - but not surprising.
Yeah, Hastert's comment was pretty stupid.
If you look at this picture of the New Orleans Skyline you can see that there's an awful lot of modern, commercial high-rises and skyscrapers, just like in any other American city. Granted, the windows were probably blown out and they sustained quite a bit of damage. But chances are, they're all probably still structurally sound and will NOT be simply abandoned.
Maybe I am mean about poor snowball.
I take it back, what I said. Snowball belonged on the copter.
"To: jeffers
That's true. A huge amount of supplies were needed, and it seems that the city itself (despite supposedly having done a "disaster management plan" not long before) underestimated the needs and really had no
plan in the first place."
I'm not talking about any of that...yet.
There are people in there needing aid first. Maybe 150,000 of them. We got 3000 out two days ago but they slowed down today because the boats got shot at and went home.
We will not save them all. It is a case of trying to get as many out as we can before the worsening conditions make it unnecessary.
