Is anyone listening to JJ? He is wanting the people to go to military bases.

I'd say with all the natural gas we see venting up through the water, the tons of broken glass laying in the sun, it is more likely that natural causes will start more fires than looters and thugs. Sure, they will add to the mayhem but there are plenty of natural reasons for fire.
You aren't shallow. I like them too. There have been many times that Shep makes me laugh with his irreverence regarding silly government actions. And, yes, he is a trained dramatist, but he is there trying.
Geraldo is not my favorite, but I can tolerate him. He was just explaining how the sandbag operation going on on the canal break is daunting. Even though they are dropping sand bags, the water is going over them. Those reports help counteract the talking heads saying nothing is happening.
Lott enthousiastically greeting a Guard member.
He is on WWL.
thanks for that link, Karl.
Great to have a CINC who knows how to return a salute.

Indeed. I'm glad they're not.
He's now blaming global warming; going after the National Guard in Iraq instead of NOLA; pointing to the budget spent in Iraq...
He's tossing as many darts as he can...
How's that?
news reporting Bush's poll numbers could go down and entire agenda could be at stake over this -- How do they know this???
Utter BS.
The governor was saying NO was under complete control for TWO DAYS, while hospitals and police stations were being overrun.
The local officials are STILL claiming that only 100,000 people stayed behind, while pre-storm estimates expected 600,000 and at least one report puts the figure as high as 800,000.
Any operation that goes in assuming police control of NO and 100,000 refugees will big down and fail if the umbers are mucvh higher and at this point, failure will be measured in terms of an extra 10,000 or more body count. The grace period is over. From here on out we have to execute.
Jackson blabbering about the ozone layer and global warming. Bashing the "government." Bashing the Prez's "ceremonial" flight over the area. Complaining about tax cuts. Yacking about Iraq. Doesn't seem to have anything relavent to say.
With relatives in Oklahoma. And lo and behold! Not a one of them has blamed Bush! I'm just so thankful that they used the good sense God gave them and evacuated last Saturday.
I did find out that most of the destruction in Slidell was caused by tornados. Some neighborhoods were totally leveled.
Because they're busy ginning up the poll numbers.
Sorry to hear that.. Hope they are safe..
Actually, Arizona is a fairly safe state.
We deal with thunderstorms, but there are few other natural disasters threatening us. One reason is that we aren't all that densely populated outside of Phoenix and Tucson.
Part of the guard was called in BEFORE the hurricane even came through. Others came in the day after the storm. I know this personally as I know two LA guardsmen, one was there a day before the hurricane hit, the other was called up the day of the storm and went in the day after the storm.
