2:05 P.M. - (AP): A mix of cheering and swearing has greeted National Guardsman pouring into New Orleans.
As a convoy of relief trucks swarmed through downtown, some near the city's convention center threw up their hands and screamed "Thank You, Jesus!"
Others weren't as pleased. One man says "hell no," he's not happy to see the Guard, saying troops should have shown up days ago. Michael Levy says he'll be pleased when 100 buses arrive to evacuate people.
Levy says people at the center have been sleeping on the ground "like rats." And he says if he had his way, New Orleans would be burned down.
1:57 P.M. - WWL-TV: State School Superintendent Cecil Picard is asking the School Superintendents of St. Bernard and Plaquesmines Parishes to call him as soon as possible.

I cant begin to imagine what a beautiful site that is to these people.
"One man says "hell no," he's not happy to see the Guard"
You just can't please some. I saw a woman on FNC this AM who complained, "Well yeah, we got water now, but we don't have any ice! It's HOT down here!"
I swear I'm not making this up..
Typical...so typical.
