Please inform CNN, MSNBC and your local MSM affiliates. We need to raise Hell.

Proves the MSM are not "masters of the obvious"

He's the President. He needs to go somewhere down there that can symbolically resemble ground zero from 9/11. Not the Superdome or Convention Ctr obviously. But somewhere where the Pres, Mayor and the Governor can stand together amongst a ton of NG, police and medics, put aside blame game and show some real leadership. This is needed to motivate the workers and start injecting some positive media coverage. Bush needs to be on this 24x7 and focus on this like 9/11 over the next week and undo the PR damage.

Well, one things for sure, here in NC, as I am sure you know, we get out and take care of ourselves and don't sit around and wait for somebody to come and tell us what to do.

And we certainly don't go on TV and whine about not getting food and water that afternoon!

Oh, I don't know. Hearings might be very useful. Especially if they go into how the levees and pumps were (or weren't) maintained, and where the money went.

Bring it on.

Actually, some where in these thousands of posts, I recall that the animals were evacuated to a Houston shelter before the hurricane hit.

I'm near San Antonio, and last weekend before Katrina hit, they were already having adoptions of animals who were moved to San Antonio from NO via Houston-For $25, you could adopt an animal that had all it's shots, was spayed or neutered, and had an implanted chip to track it down if it got lost.

I'm thinking the Mayor of NO should borrow from the humane society and Animal Defense League's disaster preparedness plans.

Well......I know some white people that WOULD do that :)

One thing that has amused me is the "it's been three whole days" thing. Hell, we went without that long in an ICE STORM!

the unleaded futures dropped another 25 cents today....I think that is nearly 70 cents since Bush waived the special formula requirements, and allowed red dyed diesel fuel to be sold to truckers...

the speculators are taking it in the shorts big time.

Can some of you storm watchers provide a list of Cat 2 or above hurricanes during the Clinton Admin? I can then try to google about the national guard and see when the Federal response started (in earnest). I stand by what I said this morning (refusing to politicise this), but an unfair political deluge is coming, and we have to be ready.

I'm just so sick and tired of Congress sitting on their thrones probing what went wrong...after the event.

Congress is useless.

I think so, too. They've got him in their sights and they smell RETURN TO POWER, even if it is standing on the bodies of their dead constituents.

Honestly, I think they do know that.

But, I think they like to conveniently forget or ignore...so, it's always best to keep REMINDING them. : )
