I have to say I'll take Geraldo over Chris Matthews or Wolf Blitzer any day... they are both making be see red!
If he doesn't give a press conference, then we'll know it's sincere.
Maybe.
No... I heard it and thought the same thing!! We need to deal with those basta46s in a harsh, non liberal, manner. The problem is escalating nationwide.
And which bird might THAT be, I wonder....?
I agree with you. I watched the tape they had on him last night and he was rumpled and very involved with the emergency workers. I found it strange that he didn't step to the camera (very un-dem of him) and decided to do a search and see what I could find -- thus the article.
Yep, that's him.
Sheesh. She wants to rebuild now, but we're hearing that it will take 6-9 MONTHS to drain the city, and 3 more MONTHS to dry out and decontaminate it from who knows how many diseases. And it's September now, and in that NINE MONTHS - it isn't going to rain one lick, let alone another storm?
I'm thinking they're frantic because what happens to their colleagues there? They are rallying around the "rebuild" call, when we're all looking at what seems to be some terrible current-times Atlantis.
What happens to the elected congressmen who no longer have districts? No more New Orleans means how many less Dems and Reps in Congress?
Question: If you could buy a family home for $1.00 in New Orleans would you? Knowing what you know now, and almost positively guaranteeing that no insurance company on the planet would insure you for ANYTHING? Lightning may not strike twice, but hurricanes obviously do.
I'm wondering if my 3 yr old is going to grow up reading about "New Orleans: the City that was." I hope not, but I am not optimistic. You can't build a levee or a dam strong enough to hold back the ocean. I am very sad for New Orleans' residents and all that they have lost, and may never have again.
I actually heard some anchorette on TV asking if the "cleanup at the Super Dome had begun." They just don't understand the scope of the disaster... portraying NO even as "getting back to normal."
Thank you, and thank you for the Link! :)
No kidding!! I was simply put, stunned to look at close-up satellite photos of the devastation and see street after street of homes under water - with 1-3 cars in the driveways! We have been hearing that "they had no means to leave" and it is true, so terribly many did not - but so many did - and chose to stay. SO sad.
The pictures are gripping. You'll see the cars and BTW: lots more buses visible from above.
"Its very strange and maybe just coincidental. But have you noticed that it's the "Republican" Red states taking all the refugees from Louisiana?
More due to geographical location than anything else. Michigan (a blue state) has offered to take in refugees; the only thing is they're about as far due north as you can get and not hit Canada." Was aid.
BTW... is anybody else familiar with the area getting tired of the anchors talking about "when the water recedes"? The water will only "recede" when it is pumped out.
Poor dear. I guess noone told her that the Superdome is basically a new toxic waste landfill and should have a few bunker-busters dropped on it. 5 feet deep human waste and trash from one end of the dome to the other: on all levels. Not counting those who sadly died and were murdered inside. Clean up HOW?
YES! ;)
From what I've read, they're probably going to have to tent the SuperDome and fumigate it before they can even think about anything else. And at that, they will probably have to gut it and completely rebuild the interior.
Good. I completely agree, and apparently many of us feel the same.
placemark.
Anyone hear Gen. Honorere(?) on Fox just now? AWESOME. He put the problems in such simple language even the MSM should be able to understand it.
Agreed.
Blood is very, very hard to get out of concrete.
Good post. After four decades of the destruction of the inner city by welfare-state politics and moral/ family breakdown, the chickens have come home to roost.
