Call OReilly! My wife's in BIG trouble.
Seems to be Bill O, a woman in Houston, alive, complaining about the rain falling in the dome, the smell, awful, a man throwing up.
Bill O: It was incompetence, [feeding her a line...}
"survivor": Yes, yes.
Only food was no heat, you could not eat what they give you.
Only one hot meal, crackers.
Bill O: how about the bathroom situation.
"survivor": oh, you could slip, people doing bowel movements on the floor
Bill O: yeah yeah, so glad you survived
Bill O: now turning to 81 year old..
and I am turning channels
oops - "can you hear me now" good for tv ad
Old man - 80 something years old, said all people weren't searched and checked. He wasn't. So any claims from Blanco about no possiblity of guns are BS.
And Detroit has the empty homes to do just that.
It sounds like you are getting real close to the Terri Schiavo rational. In that, they (she) doesn't deserve to live?
She couldn't eat the army meals........our TROOPS do.
On a completely different topic, I've been wondering about the fate of Grand Isle, Louisiana, the only inhabited barrier island in the state.
I can't understand why anyone stayed there during the storm, but they did.
I haven't read any news reports about its fate, but I did find this photo.
Zoom down to the area where the bridge crosses onto the island.
God is moving in our land. The forces of darkness and of light are moving center stage.
In the faces you see are the children of God, and those who would destroy all of righteousness.
Many of us may be called to make a stand in the days to come Let us pray for those who, in their time of peril, help those who are weak and infirm.
The end of days finds us locked in a confrontation that has no middle ground. Choose the love and sacrifice of Jesus our Lord, for evil is very much with us
What a friend we have in Jesus.
If the buses carry 50 people that's 240 buses to take out the original 12,000 people not counting the thousands who showed up later.
NautiNurse thanks for the thread.

um, that doesn't mean that they can drink that water,,,
Blanco is probably being kept under wraps by the Landrieus because they also know she's a complete incompetent.
So if he's so available he can go down & start rescuing people himself. Maybe they won't shoot him...maybe they will. Does he think being who he is, is really going to matter?
Could have been obtaining things/shoes to GIVE to victims. I saw a photo of one person who had fashioned "shoes" out of two milk cartons and rubberbands to hold them to his feet.
Cops and Firemen around here carry stuffed animals in their vehicles to give to children in times of emergency for something to hold/comfort them. So perhaps they were taking shoes for victims, and toys for child victims.
Disclaimer: I didn't see the video myself... maybe they were looting... but I'd like to think the best of them until proven otherwise.
The Morial Convention Center is HUGE. You would think people would gravitate to it. PLus it is right near the riverwalk.
New Orleans Police Department Status: The situation for the NOPD is critical. This is firsthand information I have from an NOPD officer we're giving shelter to. Their command and control infrastructure is shot. They have limited to no communication whatsoever. He didn't even know the city was under martial law until we told him! His precinct (5th Precinct) is under water! UNDER WATER -- every vehicle under water. They had to commander moving trucks like Ryder and UHaul to get around. The coroner's office is shut down so bodies are being covered in leaves at best or left where they lie at worst.
They don't even know their own rules of engagement. He says the force is impotent right now. They have no idea what's going on, no coordination...
More from the Police Officer. I'm typing as fast as i can while he talks to us: He's only hearing bits and pieces. The people in the city are shooting at the police. They're upset that they're not getting help quickly enough. The fireman keep calling because they're under fire. He doesn't understand why the people are shooting at the rescuers. Here it is 5 days ago the Mayor said get out of town and nobody went and now they're pissed.
The National Guard was at the Hilton, but now the Hilton is evacuated. When they said the CBD was gonna get 6 feet of water, it seems like everyone evacuated.
He turned the corner onto Canal Street and it looked like a flea market. People breaking into every store, going to the neutral gound (median) and trading and selling everything.
They broke into Winn Dixie Monday Night. Do they steal food? No. Cigarettes and liquor. Store was a mess. All the meats were going to waste so the districts went over there to salvage food for officers. Many cops have been eating MREs.
The Iberville Housing Projects got pissed off because the police started to "shop" after they kicked out looters. Then they started shooting at cops. When the cops left, the looters looted everything. There's probably not a grocery left in this city.
Over 30 officers have quit over the last 3 days. Out of 160 officers in his district maybe 55 or 60 are working. He hasn't seen several since Sunday. HQ is closed, evacuated. No phones to contact them.
"HQ, be advised, we're going 10 7." [going off duty]
"Ok, y'all coming back on???"
"We don't know."
quick, file a claim, get a lawyer, find the aclu
