Well, I wouldn't want my kids exposed to kids with dysentery. It may not be airborne, but my kids (despite my germ phobia shoved down their throats) like many other kids are just stupid about sanitation. I know they must be because they bring home every frigging bug that hits their schools.

Another Texan in the White House would absolutely put the Dems out of their minds.

Don't know why...the Dems put one there once. ;)

According to an NPR story yesterday, "Many who fled flooded New Orleans for shelter in Houston's Astrodome are already eyeing potential jobs and considering making Houston their new home. Will evacuation turn into immigration?"

Of course it will. I've been saying this since day one. These people are lazy! It's Texas' problem now.

[BurbankKarl]

They are using those Dole banana trailers for cold storage..

[DrewsMum]

Don't jump the gun,,,i'm not sure he's the man for the job,,,,remember he doesn't do much about the illegal immigration here in tex,,,,

Thanks for the link to the NO blog. Did you read down as far as when the blogger wrote that the NO mayor and Opra Windfrey would be flying over NO sightseeing?

[Uncle Ike]

Flash NEWS??

Just flipped to FOX in time to catch the end of an announcement about some kind of gunfight - 8 gun-totin' civilians killed.

Did anybody hear the whole thing?? Any details??

Her name is Floritta Greve, age 71 with an aged dog named Dusty.

She prepared, but stayed behind to care for her old dog, which is all she has of family in this world.

She is a survivor with a great attitude, and for any age, has a mind as sharp as a tack. I love this woman, and pray someone who needs a Grandmother with a positive influence takes her in... close to her home :)

Per Fox News police shot 8 people that were carrying guns on a bridge in NO, killing 5 or 6 of them

[plushaye]

You're welcome. Yes, I saw that about the mayor and Oprah flying over NO. Someone had already mentioned on this thread so I didn't bring it up. I can see the mayor doing this, but Oprah too?

[No Blue States]

"Where are you?

amom is within spittin distance of BRLA to help the Red Cross."


I am in Fort Worth. Quite a few evacs in the area now.
Our church plans to adopt some families.
On my days off I hope to volunteer at one of the shelters.

BY THE POLICE............NOT BY THE UNITED STATES MILITARY.

[TexKat]

Did anybody hear the whole thing?? Any details??

Yes I heard it.

[Yellow Rose of Texas]

DrewsMum, Good for you! I too am searching hotels and motels.

To all, amom just called back with questions to give the truth about this disaster. It appears the volunteers are blaming Bush so she is going in informed.

She needs the time of the first new conference President Bush gave on Friday, August 26, 2005 declaring the Gulf Coast a disaster area, allowing FEMA to set up staging areas.

[TexKat]

AP: Police in New Orleans have shot 8 armed people.

[Spktyr]

I've seen those systems all over the country (guess which kinds of states) and they're all more or less the same. They make it impossible for someone who wants to get out and get ahead to do so. It crushes those that want to excel and get ahead, like Socialism and Communism do. Hmmmm......

This event will be the boost out that most of those people needed. Texas has lots of jobs and our welfare system (for the most part) is oriented towards getting people off of it and back into society.

[spectre]

I heard that! Here we go..ughh.

[Howlin]

Can't wait to see how this plays out.

[Darnright]

Fox is interviewing an officer named, "Hunt Downer".

LOL, only in America. That is the most appropriate name for a man directing rescue operations.

[DrewsMum]

In other news,,,check out FOX police shot 8 armed peeps in NO yayayayayayyay yipeeeeee
