You made me laugh. That would make a great poster.
I'm sure they're saying in DUmmyland that Texas is getting punished for "exploiting" the evacuees, as the NYT put it.
Eggsactly.
I wondered why they did not use CB radios. I wonder if the people down there were thinking at all.
I'm serious, I live in NM about 12 hrs from Dallas and if there are any Freepers who need a place to stay I have a nice travel trailer, an extra bedroom and a large living room and den. I have acres and acres of land if you have your own RV or trailer. I only have hook-ups for 2 but if there were more we could come up with something.
Go as far inland as you can. Katrina did substantial damage to Mississippi more than 60 miles inland.

Hurricane Rita reaches Category 5 status with maximum sustained winds of 165 mph, the National Hurricane Center says.
What makes Dungan think Rita will be different?
I prefer to err on the high side. There aren't any hotel rooms available anyway.
Should the headline be changed to read 5?
I partly blame Shep and Geraldo for all of the hysteria that has caused a distortion (IMHO) about Katrina...
There were lots of people doing good work...before, during and after Katrina that were never acknowledged because all most Americans (non-internet users and news junkies) saw, were Shep and Geraldo standing on that freeway...
SCREAMING about why isn't BUSH doing something for these people...which put all of the blame on Bush and none on Nagin and Blanco....
NOW, even though we know that Nagin and Blanco were idiots...everyone will just remember BUSH being blamed by the idiot media and Landrieu.
Now we're doomed. This time we're definitely doomed.

Got a link? NHC is running behind the times.
These reporters need a good wake up slap across their faces. We, in the midwest, have survived horrible tornados & horrible blizzards without looting, rapes & murder! Maybe they should consider the source, rather than say Bush wasn't prepared!!! I'm sick of it!
And I am waiting for the investigation into what part the MEDIA had with driving that story into a frenzy.
And you just know they are going to whip it up with Rita; they're like the plant in Little Shop of Horrors. "Feed me, Seymour."
I read last week that Rupert Murdock goes which ever way he thinks the ratings will take him.
Please post it when you find it.
