My husband just called on his way home from work.

He works at the old Kelly Air Force base. San Antonio is expecting 25,000 refugees. Husband says that he could not get down the road from the wharehouse he works in .. there are tons of trucks with equipment to set up the temporary housing. LOTS of porta potties.. and at least 8 flat bed tractor trailers full of bundles of supplies. He can't believe the amount of action that has ensued since late this morning.

One thing for sure - the area he's working in is generally VERY empty - basically just the workers in the wharehouse facility he is in... so it looks like they'll be getting neighbors.. VERY soon. The news said that San Antonio may start receiving some refugees tonight.

It's time for the TROOPS.

They are there, or on the way - 30,000 National Guard from several States, and a brigade of 3,000 from the 82nd Airborne, inbound.

How do you get the scanner traffic? I can't find my shortwave radio - arghhhh...

Still haven't heard from old friends in Kenner/Metairie neighborhoods although I am sure they left. Everyone else I know in N.O. went to Lafayette and will be staying there awhile....

Loving this! And she was a prime example of Democratic lip service and failure to see the real picture. Maybe she took lessons form Jesse Jackson?

Sometimes silence is best.

And no you are not cold and heartless.

Taking a chance here with people taking this as a racist comment -- it is not...

If you look carefully, the vast majority of these women with children appear to be alone. A few have husbands, and I've seen a few men holding babies, but for the most part you see a couple of women together with multiple children. This isn't a suprise, because the welfare state we have created nation-wide encourages the breakup of the family.

In the article last night on Drudge about the chaos inside the dome, it talked about crack cocaine vials in the trash, blood on the walls, etc.. and talked about the murders and rapes inside the dome.... specifically mentioned one woman with 11 children who couldn't sleep for fear one of the so-called thugs would rape one of her "babies." The youngest rape victim (reported) was four years old.

This is why I think splitting them up -- OR -- if they were really organized and had time you would send single women and children to one location, single men to another and couples to another.

But I'm not naive, either.

Funny how much people like you are willing to do for Iraqis.

That crazy woman along with the useless governor were as late as Monday trying to tell people that the water was safe, "It's just water". Just insane.
