Noted a diabetic who is sweating profusely with no aid.That really makes me ill. How is it that Lily donated a truckload of insulin supplies but people with diabetes are going into DKA on television?

I lost everything once in a fire. If you have never been in a situation where you only have the clothes on your back and no place to go, it is a good thing not to minimize the plight. There are towns on the gulf coast that were almost obliterated by the water. I have family members who now only own what goods they stuffed in their cars before they evacuated.
Everybody who lost is suffering hell. I feel for all of them, in NO and out.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Actor Nicolas Cage donated $1 million Thursday to hurricane relief efforts for ravaged New Orleans, a spokeswoman said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Hilary Duff pledged Thursday to donate $250,000 to help hurricane victims on the Gulf Coast.
The singer-actress will give $200,000 to the American Red Cross and $50,000 to USA Harvest, which is supplying food to shelters, according to a statement released by publicist Cece Yorke. The latter donation will amount to more than 300,000 cans of food being provided to victims.
Duff said that the devastation she has seen on TV has been heartbreaking.
"People are missing family members, and they have absolutely nothing left, not even food and water," she said in the statement.
Duff encouraged fans to bring canned food donations to her concerts and to give money to charities.
Toyota companies donate $5 million to Gulf Coast relief
http://www.bakersfield.com/state_wire/story/5598670p-5575753c.html ---
TORRANCE, Calif. (AP) - Toyota companies have contributed $5 million to dollars to fund relief for victims of Hurricane Katrina.
"We're hopeful that aid may quickly reach those who fell victim to the torrential wind and rain," said Jim Press, president and chief operating officer of California-based Toyota Motor Sales USA.
Pledges came from Toyota Motor Corp. of Japan and American companies including manufacturing and distributorship entities. Assistance was also being arranged for finance and lease customers in the form of payment extensions and suspension of credit bureau reporting on accounts impacted by the hurricane.
Various Toyota companies will also match employee contributions to the American Red Cross and the newly created Friedkin Disaster Relief Fund. Texas-based Friedkin Companies owns Gulf States Toyota.

I hate to inject politics into this, but why is Mary Landrieu mugging for the TV cameras, anyway? She's not the governor or mayor. She doesn't control the Louisiana National Guard or the New Orleans. She doesn't control FEMA or any federal executive branch department. She'd better serve her constituents by quietly liaising with federal and state officials.
You don't see Senators Vitter, Lott or Cochran on TV as much. A Google News search of articles since the 29th comes up with:
75 Results for
"David Vitter" 152 Results for
"Thad Cochran" 564 Results for
"Trent Lott" (And a lot of those about his Pascagoula house being destroyed); and
1,560 Results for
"Mary Landrieu"

i think it is subject to interpretation - I never read what he said as condescending, but rather as true. It has crossed my mind that given the choice of being homeless in biloxi or nola, there is NO WAY under almost any circumstances I would choose nola, especially if i had a family to protect.

because without security, much of the aid cannot get to these people.

Shooting at Entergy workers restoring power...somewhere near Lake CharlesI'm beginning to wonder if the shooters are even Americans, they sound more like insurgent transplants from Latin America or the Middle East.

How to dispose of the city? Rather easy, open the river levee, let it fill up until it reaches the lake. Bring in helicopters with tons and tons of sack-crete and dump it on the water. Once it solidifies, the ground is no longer below sea level.
No, I am not being serious.

Actually, I think some of the rest of us (including many blacks who are not in the "career black grudge class") have had enough of them. This may actually be a watershed moment, but not in the way the MSM wants. People of all races may finally be disgusted enough to say ENOUGH!!!
BTW, my local New York Times paper (the Gainesville Sun) just started a special weekly for blacks. Typical liberal resegregation. I live in a predominantly black neighborhood, so I receive it (they can't even sell it and have to give it away). Its second issue, published today, had a front page feature article on the lynching of a black person somewhere around here - in 1916.
Almost a hundred years later, and the NYT is still using it to stir up race hatred and fear. That's liberals for you, liberals and their black victims.

They ought to shoot half the anchors, maybe all the national anchors to a small island in the pacific somewhere. The ultimate game of survivor. Might be interesting to watch.

Well, that is true.
I have been limited in my coverage of what I have been able to see today, but I have not seen bodies at least on the evening news except one in the water from a decent distance so it was hard to tell.
There was one picture posted on here earlier where a dead man is sitting in his chair uncovered at the Convention Center.
I would NOT have run that picture.

I don't think I'd trust any elected official in Louisiana that I didn't know personally before the election...and even then, I'd look twice...
