If you had to pick a place for Rita to come ashore between Houston and New Orleans, I'm not sure you could do better than what she did.

I don't mind spending the money on fixing things, otherwise it's like surrendering to mother nature. We're only talking less than one year's defense budget here.

Ok we can't win, but we can fight to a draw, or at least try.

What I won't do though, is spend it on new Vuitton purse for Ms. Blanco.

Her and her cronies are the cork in the bottle.

With them in place, nothing goes in and nothing comes out. That's my take on it.

Agreed. Can Louisiana recall Blanco and put Jindal into office. He'd be better Governor to lead the rebuilding effort IMO.

If I were in Louisiana, I'd seriously think about starting a recall campaign, if it is legal.

I went to the gas station near my house a little while ago to get some ice..(my icemaker on the blink)...

and the guy that runs the gas station is Vietnamese...and when I drove up, I noticed that all of the gas pumps had sold out signs on them..

When I went in, I asked how he was doing...he said he wanted to go home..and I said, "Sure, since you have no gas"..and he laughed and said it was "on a slow boat to China".

But, then he said that some customers were really getting mad at HIM for no gas...he has been out for 2 days, won't get any until Monday or Tuesday...

I said---well, just tell them it isn't your fault, it is Katrina and Rita's fault.

He got really SERIOUS, and shook his head and said, "oh, no, don't say such thing..that is Mother Nature..we must respect her"...and he was not joking at all.
