-- Can I buy you a month worth of Pizza? :-)
I don't think NautiNurse will be able to buy anything at any FReeper get-together anytime soon. Put me in for a month's worth of drinks.
Anyone watching MSNBC after Blanco spoke? The anchor asked someone will President Bush recover from this....of course not!!!! I was walking through the den and my husband had that stupid station on and I started hollering at the tv! Dogs and husband ran for cover...lol CNN is no longer allowed on our tv and now MSNBC has been added to that list.
St Bernard Parish..in the Bell South bldg.
"Firefighters and families being held hostage by snipers."
Could just be a rumor. Or exaggerated.
I wanted to post fom work but couldn't. I was reading about those posts re Jack Cafferty on CNN and his spewing Anti-Bush crap. That clown should go back to reporting about cats in trees on WPIX- a freaking WB station in NY. Yes, those are his credidentials. Who does this guy think he is? I'm seething.
Bus crash - one of the busses filled with evacuees crashed - one dead - several critical. FNC 1702
Could you ever image Part IV?
Thank you, ma'am!
Only if we're lucky.
Chet I remember him on there!
IRS Expands Tax Relief for Hurricane Katrina Victims, Creates Toll-Free Number, and Waives Penalty on use of Dyed Diesel Fuel
The Internal Revenue Service has expanded relief for taxpayers in the Presidential Disaster Areas struck by Hurricane Katrina. The Internal Revenue Service has announced the establishment of a special toll-free telephone number for use by taxpayers affected by Hurricane Katrina. People affected by Katrina who need help with tax matters can call 1-866-562-5227. Beginning today, taxpayers can call the special number Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm local time. In response to shortages of clear diesel fuel caused by Hurricane Katrina, the IRS will not impose a tax penalty when dyed diesel fuel is sold for use or used on the highway.
I must give her credit. She did it in a very discrete way, holding her clipboard over her lips in order to do it without anybody noticing. If Bush hadn't thank her, no one would have know.
I'll double that, and lots of kudos to NN!! Thank you so much. I've lived on these threads and really appreciate all your work!
there are a lot of units responding...St Bernard Ave
Bush is hugging everyone, even Nagin.
NO Gov thanks Bush for coming.
It was good to see for me, and no doubt for the residents of the city that could see it.
He says we will rebuild better than before.
Im glad he did this.
The Prez is on the ground in LA? I am so confused!
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said it expects to fully remove the flooding from New Orleans within 80 days from the time the city's inoperable levee pumps are restored. Meanwhile, with all the sandbags, "City look more like Baghdad than the Big Easy," says a CNN reporter at the airport. Plus, an CNBC video clip shows a New Orleans police officer shouting into a bullhorn: "We got food and water on the way. We got medical equipment on the way. I'm going to get you all out of here safely. We moved 30,000 out of the Superdome and we can get you out of here."
Hmmm, how long to restore power or get generators and then its 80 days to pump the water out? This is one big, ugly mess.

Ditto that!!
He was speaking w/o prompters and he did very well. A lot of leadership and caring both came through in that speech. He remembered what he was going to say right after a very long digression. I was impressed.
Admin Moderator, I know there are strict rules about private information, but isn't there SOME way to reward NautiNurse and some others for their incredible devotion and sacrifice during this?
Information for those outside a disaster is important too...
Prayers for ALL!
