I asked before and no one can answer. What did they do with homeland security money?
Glad to see the Katrina Thread continue

Whew.... I sure hope they reunite them. I was really concerned to read the police were putting the dogs into the stairwell at the dome and many didn't survive.
That's a good question. It certainly wasn't spent on satellite phones so that police and fire and city officials could communicate.
The bulk of it likely went into a variety of pockets.
I thought the bichon was in the governor's mansion in Baton Rouge...
Well said. Of course, that is not the plan of any Texas coastal city either. So Florida and Texas have their acts together and New Orleans and Louisiana are governed by the criminally negligent. Reminds one of the Edwards campaign "Elect the Crook".
thanks for ping Howlin.. and Abigail.. you did great!!!!
Thanks for taking the iniative to start er up! So many people contribute with good things that you don't have to worry about not knowing how to do something. I love seeing all the news and blues from the recovery/clean up efforts there.
What percentage of the poor or disabled were evac'd using public transportation resources?
I don't know. But I'm guessing you'd find not many.
They were lucky it didn't slam into Miami proper. Landfall at Liberty City would've been mighty ugly.
According to one wacko extremist report the black people in NO resorted to cannibalism. How lucky for all those dogs that are walking around that there weren't more Asians going hungry...
That is the most wonderful news and an answer to the prayers of thousands -- especially the prayers of children who have heard this story in horror.
My fear is, not the black caucus is demanding they control the FEMA and Red Cross funds flowing into the are, that this money is going to be pee'd away becaue of corruption and will not help the people who desperately need help.
add me please
To not even attempt to get the poor and carless out of the city is criminal. School bus routes are run all over the city, every day, and some of these same buses are used to get people to the polls on election day. Why not use those routes and get as many as you can?
Obviously, everybody is not going to leave (there are those there NOW who won't leave), but one should do as much as possible.
OMG.
Did anyone just see the look on Hillary's face?? I swear, I have NEVER seen anything like it. Ever. Extreme anger.
~LOL~ rhanks for the laugh -- however, you make a good point, too.. don't ever feed foreign rawhids to dogs because many of them are from dog hide.
Please add me to your ping list. Thanks so much.
My guess would be to look at second homes bought by officials, lavish vacations, or maybe just paying for their crack... They certainly didn't spend it on Iridium phones in order to maintain command and control. The starting salary of a Nola policeman is only $300 a week I understand -- so the money didn't wind up there.
Add me to the Katrina ping list please...and hoping Ophelia goes away.
Where was that?
