And according to Al Sharptongue, they were all taxpayers.
Bump hard.
What on earth is wrong with the Red Cross? I have heard so many accounts of this organization's idiocy, it's a wonder they stay in business!
Hope your sister's friends and their family are okay.
LOL. I keep trying to go to bed but hate to leave. It's so good to be here.
Yes, my Sister has been and says it's great. She spent a couple of weeks there. I think I need something like that, maybe. I'm not sure I'll go there,but I think my days here are numbered. :)
Was't there a group of congesscritters that hung out together. Condit, Scarborough and who else? There were at least a total 3 or 4. All married and seemed to have a bit of reputation for playing 'loosey goosey' as we say here in the South.
Taxpayers, my butt!
There is a new thread up that says that John Sweeney, the head of the AFL/CIO is mad at Bush, saying that his response to Hurricane Katrina was negative to workers!??!
Huh? I guess everyone wants to get his/her twenty lashes at old Dubya over this NATURAL DISASTER!!!
LOL, well we ARE getting alot of pressure to "adopt a family."
I'm sorry y'all, but I have a real problem here,,,
Tonight on the local news (houston) or maybe cable it's all running together now,,,anyways, they were talking about the children from the poor families from NO,,,they were at one shelter and were talking about one little boy and the reporter said, and I quote, "this little boy is 6 years old, the oldest of 6 siblings" (I kid you not!!!) I almost punched the t.v.!
I remember hearing John Kasich was buddies with Condit at the time- and then he (JK) didn't run again at the next election.
Someone upstream mentioned John Kasich in that group.
The Red Cross has put over $350,000,000 in the general disaster relief fund. I don't know if this is good thing or not.
Thank you -- this is precisely what I've been saying all week long!
It's nice that people are making cash donations, but it's a lot more personal to hand someone a Wal-Mart gift card so they can get *exactly* what *they* need, from personal hygiene supplies to groceries to medicine to automotive needs. There was a story posted in an earlier thread where all one elderly lady wanted was some press-on nails to make herself feel good again, and I don't think a check to a general disaster relief fund would have paid for that.
Thank you for your generosity, Yellow Rose!!!
Oh... darn, I MISSED it!!!! Well, I dare him go through a strong earthquake -- with NO warning it's coming! Then we'll see.
Great minds. ; ) I don't think I read that post (I have been off and on all day and try to catch up as much as possible when I can.)
"Mississippi is on my mind"
Actually, I've had that ZZ Top song stuck in my head all week that goes "I'm shufflin' through the Texas sands, but my head's in Mississippi" -- it rocks!
Yep, and old bill must have been riding behind!!her cause he don't look a whole lot better!
Unfortunately, I am not surprised...
Now, is not the time to go on a rant about today's societal problems, I know, but I gotta tell you...
I wouldn't take in a family with that many kids...and I don't know how they are gonna do it...I doubt that they are going to get very much actual $$$$$.

Exactly,,,,,I went and bought some stuff and took to the local hotels too, I just can't stomach turning cash over to someone else to decide the best way---these people needed things now,,,,and the ones in the hotels (middle class who aren't used to being dependent) haven't seen or heard from the red cross/FEMA,,,that might be a long time coming for them,,,
they'll probably be better off than they were before,,
Oh, my....reread your post...it could be taken a couple of ways...and one just made me blush!!!
