You must never have been in DC in August. Can't be worse than that.
I think you haven't gotten my sarcasm, nor read my previous posts.
Good report.
Good attitude.
Thanks, but thats not what I meant;)
Here's a link from a local station in Texas which has some good video interviews with protesters on both sides of the issue:

August 27, 2005. Thousands of demonstrators turned out to rally against the war or to support the war.

Interesting how the caption does everything to suggest that the "thousands of demonstrators" are from both sides, while even going so far as to give the anti-war clowns first billing.
---Chalmette and Western New Orleans flooded but not to catastrophic degrees. The city was saved from major flooding.

Ha! tell that to my friend Bebe who was stuck in an attic for days with small children during that flood, living off of peanut butter.
Or some other friends of mine in Eastern New Orleans who got flooded out because of that decision and lost all of their stuff.
But it did protect some of the ritzier parts of town from being flooded...and probably kept my neighborhood high and dry as well...
It was a weird morning, waking up after Betsy. No power, an amazing number of trees down, even in my dry part of town, very few deaths and you could find pieces of roofing slates that had blown off during the storm for the next three years...They were my favorite thing to make hopscotches with....
What channel are you watching? I've not seen more than about 2 minutes of it on Fox and I've been watching for the past 3 hours.
Thank you!!
Done and Done!!
CNN is getting ready to do a report about it...coming up soon. Live coverage from Crawford.
BUMP and Thank You for the coverage!!!!
how much ya got on the belt way boys making some statement about 3,000+ people supporting the President- perhaps if they were all stung by bees they would?!!?
"Can't plow through all of this thread, but I'm rooting for all of you and appreciate your efforts for those of us who can't be there."
I couldn't go either. But as a military supporter it was my duty to contact FOXNEWS for their lack of coverage...SO CAN YOU!
Oh...ya think it's BS?....and why is it BS?...are you from Dade County..I am..let's talk...
Parents and relatives of fallen soldiers in Iraq are standing up one after the other to tell their stories and why they continue to support the war on terror.

Switched to CNN headline news. They said there were thousands of pro troop supporters in Crawford. That was pretty much it.
Copy that.
In that case laptops and camera cell phones in the hands of FReepers could actually save America.
