Then skip over them.
I don't doubt it. People are desperate, and they mistook the boaters for decent folks. This is horrible, just horrible. May the Lord protect the living, and drill some sense into those in charge.
And, how 'bout Sean Penn, Bahbah, Whoopi, Alec, Fane Jonda, Bono, Tim and Susan, Turn Tedner, Martha, P. Doody, Stephen and Tom???? C'mon you moguls .. when are you gonna step up to the American plate?
It's not mean. I agree we have to triage and people come first but in this situation, I would not have "seen" him though. He wasn't taking space, food or water.
yep, it's a blame Bush fest....the next week an orgy of Bush haters will get tv time...
heck, they're already starting.
I HATE AARON BROWN!
How can people be so giving. When the national personnal savings rate is zero?
We have no legal reason to just take over a state. We are the United States, and each State has its sovereignty. If we did not have laws on the books to protect each state's legal authority then what would stop Congress or a President from invoking all kinds of nonsense to take over a State that was not on the same page as them. There is order in our Government because of these laws and it may be painful to accept,but without this system we would have chaos and anarchy. I hate it that those idiots in charge in LA fouled this all up and now wnat the Feds to clean up. I would have loved GWB on Friday to have told Blanco and the Mayor to get out of the way while we evacuate,but it is not possible.
My apologies...especially since generalizations unfairly label the generous along with the not so generous.
It's time now for all of us to rise above our past levels of giving.
Heard that earlier today. Good info to bookmark.
Horseshit. I haven't seen anything other than anecdotal evidence that "thugs rule the street." Some local officials are using that as I cop out as to why more isn't being done. FEMA isn't reporting that it is hampering their efforts. The Coast Guard hasn't reported it hampering their efforts. Get real. I didn't see any armed thugs stopping anyone from delivering food or water to the folks at the convention center (which they did eventually.)
Made me burst out laughing too. Sad part is that it is probably true! :)
Willie,
We like you and appreciate your input. These are trying times for everyone.
It don't matter who you are, that stuff was FUNNY!
I am aware of that thread from MFH having posted to it and read it.
This is the first time that my 'ears' have heard this news. (11:30 EST, Thursday, despite having had the tube on since Sunday.
If it is old, false, incorrect, I will ask the mod to pull it.
LOL---when I saw that the main suspect in the Natalee Aruba thingy is getting out of jail....I just about cracked up.
Next think I see is Greta in Houston, talking about the Hurricane...
I betcha she is "itching" to get on a plane in Houston to go to Aruba and stick a microphone in that kid's face when he gets out of jail....lol
She is probably cussing up a storm off camera...about why would the let him go THIS weekend...when she actually has to work!
For now.
LOL, you nailed it! Honestly, that is one of the funniest posts in this mess. Thanks for a much needed laugh in all of this.
Yes.. but he got his answer,too minimal effect because of Iraq..
Ummm....I feel like I'm getting credit for stuff I'm not doing.
I quote a post when replying so it makes sense when it doesn't get read till several pages later on a fast moving thread.
If there's one empty line then it's a paragraph, either the OP's or mine.
If there's five empties like above this, the part above is the OP's (original poster) and the part below the five spaces is mine.
That said, you're very welcome.
;-)
Got guns? No? Buy a couple...
