Had they used school and city buses, 600+/- of them, to get about 25K people out of the city,to a dry , safe place before the hurricane the buses would have been readily available to return to NO to pickup other refugees after the levee breach. Remember Blanco had to scurry all over the South to find buses to transport the refugees to shelters. This took extra time and delayed the evacuation.

And there are a lot of black people who are saying how thankful they are to some of the white peeps right now,,,I can't see the majority of the vacuees jumping on the bandwagon whenever they know that there last meal was just cooked by a couple of white women or that the clothes their child just got came from a white family,,,,,cliche but "don't bite the hand that feeds ya"

"Anyways I found it very encouraging because despite the MSM's constant drumbeat of "it's Bush's fault" their message isn't taking. People, including many libs, can see right through it."

I've been finding the same thing. It has taken awhile, but people just ain't buying the MSM agenda anymore. Imagine what this country will be capable of when most of our population isn't brainwashed by the lying media.

i know this is impossible, but if all the white people involved in the giving and helping jumped up and said "ok, no more from us until these 2 idiots shut-up" I guarantee you that JJ and his crew would be mobbed,,,,,

OK, now you've got me laughing. Sean Penn, F.A.G.

Great find.

At this point it's a foregone conclusion that the obvious corruption is a fact but what will need to be done is provide FNC the complete picture because, as we know, no other outlet is going to do it.

I've been trying to pin down the levee board angle and so far it's mostly speculation. I'll have to gather names and then branch out to deeds and public information from there.

One thing's for sure, it shouldn't be that hard to nail politicos in NO for corruption. After all, they've shown they can't hide it well.

Exactly the kind of reply I would expect from you, Howlon. You smacked someone down erroneously and authoritatively and then ran, not backing up your very dubious claim, despite questions to you.

Your very clear claim was that there was a mayoral plan and it was carried out that "[city] "buses were picking up people all over the city" and TAKING THEM OUT OF THE TOWN OF NEW ORLEANS. PERIOD.

You treat many posters like crap, whether they're right or wrong. And it's not right. I'm calling you on it because it's not the way to debate in civil adult manner. This has nothing to do with taking something thread to thread. This public evacuation matter is very important and you have clearly contradicted yourself in your chosen posted informational links and posts. This is a very specific subject of much interest and import, and it's great that most have chosen to treat it as such and search for the truth.

You are very quick to dish out crow by the buckets, but it's quite another story for you to eat your own cooking.

There, I said it. I stand by it. Good day.

And all the posts regarding this important matter of the supposed "city buses picking up people all over the city," and evacuating them out of the city, are on record for all to see and read, as many saw as you posted them. You have chosen to respond to me in a manner befitting your usual.

Oh, great. Just what we need. Activists. Calling Randall Robinson.

You're bad..Now I'll be waiting for RR's next cannabilism charge- that the only reason we Texans are feeding the folks at the Astrodome is that we're fattening them up to eat them.

Yes, as far as I know, all cities have safety codes, which I would think would include back-up lighting and generators.
I worked in hospitals some time ago and I know we had to have them. I think I heard somewhere that the SD had it, but it was limited. OTH, I heard it was totally dark in there, so just like you, I find it a bit puzzling.

"err...New Orleans had 400 officers for the entire city! When you figure they are working 12 on 12 off. Sounds like NO was working 18 on, six off to me"

Amazing that the whole city of NO had 400 officers and that's what's working in the Astro Dome. If the Gov had chosen to call in the NG sooner and post them around NO, the NOPD would have had some much needed back-up No?

I would venture to say those 400 officers are split between the three major centers in Houston.

The American Red Cross said Monday it had 487 shelters and evacuation centers open and was caring for at least 142,121 hurricane victims in 16 states. These figures do not include refugees still in New Orleans, or at hotels, motels or church or state shelters across the South.


Here is a breakdown of Red Cross shelters in eight states:


--Texas: 74 shelters, including the Astrodome; 56,000 people


--Louisiana: 175 shelters; 55,000 people


--Mississippi: 113 shelters; 17,000 people


--Alabama: 48 shelters; 5,200 people


--Florida: 41 shelters; 3,600 people


--Arkansas: 7 shelters; 3,000 people


--Georgia: 17 shelters; 1,100 people


--Tennessee: 3 shelters; 1,000 people

I said I was wrong about them taking them out of the city, but you seem to need something more, some pound of flesh.


I think I'll just let your posts speak for themselves; they speak more about you than they do about me.
