Over a million lives were saved. aaaaah, yeah...oooooh kay. Does the term "broken record mean anything to you? How 'bout "delusional"? Just wondrin'...

Have you given any thought to the idea that your acceptance of looting and your insistence that this "evacuation" was a grand success is possibly the kind of mindset that got New Orleans in trouble in the first place?

Never mind...forget it.

Looting takes place during all disasters. I am not excusing it I am just saying htat it is a fact of life.

No you must remember hearing about the NYC Firefighters that looted the stores around the WTC.

Was that the fault of the New Orleans mayor?

Nice try, but putting eye glasses on a gall bladder will not cause it to see. Shining a bright light into the toilet bowl will cause the rectum to see. It was a valiant effort on your part, but he will not see, no matter how much you try to help him.

It is the best data I am the 16 LA kin at my house in Austin have seen in a week.

You have 16 houseguests and you're wasting time arguing on the internet? Where are your priorities?

Not Everybody got out of New Orleans not did everyone get out of Gulfport, MS.

Did the mayor of Gulfport and Governor of Mississippi also fail?

I read parts of the Evacuation Plan for Louisiana. I don't think Nagin or Blanco ever read it. It puts the Governor at the top of the responsibility pyramid.

Kind of reminds me of the old Ma & Pa Kettle movies. Pa steps on a loose board on the porch. The board hits him in the head. He saunters off saying, "I'm gonna fix that someday."

I didn't say anything about mayors or governors. I just implied to you that you seemed happy that buses didn't clog the highways, by your own words.

If they've got three or four hundred buses settin' around in a flooded lot then, yes, they failed. But somehow I don't think they do.

Look. I know you've been through a very trying time. That must be why your thinking is so askew.

But there are some things here you need to understand. Your state is very poor. There's much corruption there. Your mayor never thought to use those buses. And your governor's major contribution to all this was crying at a news conference. All these things are tied together. And they didn't happen by acccident.

There's still a lot of French influence in Louisiana, isn't there? Hmmm? Yes, there is. And it shows. Now do what the French do. Go underground.

Or, as Henry VIII so eloquently put it, "Be gone. I tire of you."

You didn't find anything about the "New Orleans Levee Commission" because it's called the "Orleans Levee Board"
