Fox just said President Bush is going to the command center in Colorado instead of going to Texas. See! He can't decide what to do or where to go!

What? Bush isn't going to Port Arthur to pull out the very first victims in the surge? He's not going to get behind a steering wheel of a bus and keep it on the highest ridge in the midst of the storm? He's not going to personally evacuate hospitals and nursing homes? He's actually going to claim intelligence by not staying in harm's way? No way, Garth!

He needs to don that cape now, or else SuperPrez will be cut up by the libs & MSM alike!

Thanks for the prayers. I know it will probably get a bit rough. My plot of land here in Nederland actually has a fairly decent elevation compared to much that surrounds me. They've turned the water off here, but I filled the bathtub, so I'd have water for the toilets to work, when needed.

Have hardly gotten any rain at all, but the wind is really whooshing the oak trees around. It will probably get pretty spooky here at night, with the electricity off, and the winds howling. But, I'm not too faint-hearted.

Eaker, if you get more than a few dozen or so looters, send some my way. I want my share too.

Shelia Jack$on Lee is already diverting traffic away from our house!

Good luck hunting!

I'm about ready to suggest that the other 49 states think about suing LA for voting this incompetent into office, and making the rest of us pay through the nose for their foolishness.

That's the best idea I've heard all day. Somebody get a lawyer!

I don't think Eaker has to worry about this hurricane at least. I think he can Shoot his way out.

Greene66.... One thought.. have you called your local authorities to let them know you are at home with your Grandmother?.. Someone should know you are there.. just in case.. do you have neighbors who have not left?

Stay safe and let us know...

We aren't worried about them, but about those who might see the picture. Or maybe we are worried about them, but they can do what they want.

Everybody has a perfect safety record until the first time an accident happens.

If a gun is never pointed at someone, it will never shoot someone. It probably won't shoot someone anyway, this is true, and some people never shoot anybody they point at.

But virtually EVERY gun accident in which people are shot start with a gun being pointed at someone.

No, you don't know Eaker and his family, those of us that do know it was done in a safe manner, back off.

There is no such thing as pointing a gun at someone 'in a safe manner'. Anyone who thinks there is isn't old enough to play with guns yet.

In all seriousness, what can be done when we taxpayers have to cough up dollars to keep an incompetent/corrupt government going? Does the law/constitution offer us any redress?

Darned if I know, but if LA wants the Feds to pay for freaking everything, I say we nationalize the bloody state. They don't deserve statehood.

lol - I'll they don't weigh that much more than my purse!

My neighbor's (the cop) wife and I are signed up to take our "permit to carry" classes .... truth be known, we are both very well trained firearms and we've both 'carried' for years. We just got to talking about it and decided we needed to get ourselves "straight" with the laws.

You'll be making life-time memories with the children. Hope that they'll turn out to be good ones. Even in crisis, loving families can turn events into good, teaching and even fun times.
