Trent Lott just said on Fox he lost his house

[Bahbah]

screaming because aid didn't get to NO Monday afternoon?

And no hot meals for up to 2 days. Can you believe it? I just heard some woman in the AstroDome shrieking because they didn't have any showers.

1100 housing units have been identified in Cleveland, Ohio that can be used for victims of Katrina...Mayor Campbell.

It was just broadcast on WTAM radio.

Trent Lott's home destroyed in Pascagoula MS was 150 years old.

THERE IS NO FOOD AT THE SUPERDOME, THE MSM TELLS ME SO IT MUST BE TRUE

At the Superdome, the Haynes family eats military rations and even uses the box as a bed for four-month-old Alison. Lexus, age 4, left, and Ariel, 5, right, have been staying at the Superdome and will probably be there a few more days.

Have you checked with Dachshund Rescue of North America?

Fingers bleed like scalp wounds.

If you squeeze at the base of the finger, top and bottom, you can stop them cold.

[Bahbah]

I won't say where....but 8 to 10 thousand people have been dropped off

I'm guessing I-10 and the Causeway.

I saw the pictures too...it was hard for me to understand why that council man said that...he'd flown over it and came back and reported this.

Now that's amazing 5 which stayed there...were found alive. Does that mean Katrina came in as a 3 instead of 4...actually it's the STORM SURGE [tsunami strenght & height] that did the damage including the levees. People just don't release how destructive a storm surge actually is!

Trent Lott just said on Fox he lost his house

Yea did he say when he lost his testosterone?

[leadpenny]

Chris Matthews doing a good job at the MSNBC anchor desk. (Did I say that?)

He had David Shuster do a good live spot from Biloxi. Then and interview with Andrea Mitchell followed by Nora O'Donnel. Of course, his buddy Howard Fineman is in the Studio with him now.

[Howlin]

I thought that was Michael Rivero's site.

[Lacey]

David Shuster on MSNBC was pointing out that folks in a Biloxi shelter had not seen a government official until today....and then quickly added that local church, Red Cross, etc, had been taking care of their needs. Why do these guys act like Government is God; as though private assistance is somehow inferior? Why can't they give some praise to the local folks who saw a need and helped out instead of twiddling their thumbs waiting for Uncle Sam.

"(Re: Superdome)...Bathrooms had no lights, making people afraid to enter, and the stench from backed-up toilets inside killed any inclination toward bravery. "When we have to go to the bathroom we just get a box. That's all you can do now," said Sandra Jones of eastern New Orleans. Her newborn baby was running a fever, and all the small children in her area had rashes, she said. "This was the worst night of my life. We were really scared. We're getting no help. I know the military police are trying. But they're outnumbered,"... Jones said.

This is reprehensible. And the WORLD can now this this stinky, smelly, unacceptable laundry of America. How humiliating.
