no way pop. the media is salivating for that, for Bush to federalize this and have news media video of african americans being gunned down by the US military under orders from Bush. keep the focus on Blanco.
"Hell, look at Huey Long as one example."
Huey Long's ego was one large Black Hole, but he was Albert Einstein compared to Governor Blanco.
Sure they will.
The day anybody from the Federal government puts in stitches or changes a bandage is the day pigs will fly.
absolutely. someone else said earlier about idle time being a problem for many now and work being a solution.
so true. The professional stiff upper lip is a limited ability.
I don't doubt the fed gov't is working as fast as it can, but I can't help but wish it could be faster. I know that the shear size of the storm has made the process all the more difficult, so I don't blame anyone personally.
They where told where the baby was about an hour ago.
When you are on welfare you live your life being told by social workers what you can do...
Well, it's obviously self-serving; Detroit can't justify their massive bureacracy with a shrinking population, and the next step after resettlement would be to ask for 100 billion dollars in "aid" from the Federal Government to be funnelled through said Detroit bureacracy.
You asked me a question about the City of NOLA radio system. It was flooded out early in this hurricane, and technicians that were authorized to try to help fix it were turned away by the Louisiana State Patrol. The radios were used the first day on SIMPLEX, but could not be recharged etc. Several police precincts were underwater etc. I am sure some are still in use, but not as a citywide trunking system as designed.
Homeless New Orleans residents respectfully declined Detroit's offer.
Thanks for the input. I too have noticed a propensity for some to call for the bodies and body counts. Once it degenerates to the point where CNN/FOX show the infanticide live, because of the "popular demand", we shall find out who cannot be pried away from the bigscreen replays.
Decency and compassion have been tossed under the bus for ratings.
If the SuperDome is trashed, it's becasue the people who are in there trashed it.
I'm not sure I like this "here's a phone number, go get this woman" stuff on TV.
(that, and some serious firepower ridin' shotgun, most likely ;-)
It is Bill O on now- unless I got deceived by the teasers.... could still be Shep lurking in the back with the horror stories on the dome.
I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.
I guess I'm in the minority then, I think he and all the others are totally stressed out from this reporting... I see they moved Goldblat to Houston after his nightmare last night, you could see him melting down... and they had moved him into the Quarter when they pulled Shep out and Shep started his meltdown there, too... the Quarter is more than dangerous right now and I defy any of us to go there for long and not have PTS.
The ones at the convention center that I saw are not a problem. One lady was searching for food for diabetics and found some orange juice, one nurse picked up two elderly while she was on her way there and treated a diabetic while they were filming. They said there were some bad folks there doing bad things but not everyone there is bad. Don't condemn the whole lot who are also trapped with the bad ones.
LOL!!! Priorities!
