This thread is for Katrina news and updates.

The Astrodome was ready with supplies for evacuees because it's always supplied for hurricane evacees for our coast neighbors; Galveston Area, Freeport and so forth.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Texas had a plan.

Sooooo now we have Lisa Ling here, too.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Now I'm crying when they said they'd take the guy's dog so he could be evacuated... he wouldn't leave without the dog...and the guy grabbed him and started crying because his dog would be okay....

[Howlin]

Done!

[DollyCali]

I have read that most of the NOLA cops shake their heads in disgust over that offer.

they are stressed out to be sure.. but could they walk away from their friends/family in distress & hit the slots?

I think NOT.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Well, Lisa Ling just HAD to do it -- a decent report and then when she could says at the end this wouldn't have happened if the people were white and rich!

[DollyCali]

thanks for pix/commentary...

[sheikdetailfeather]

I saw that on the dog! It is rough to watch. I am glad he will be able to see his dog again.

[Arizona Carolyn]

I can't believe the close ups of dead bodies.

Really, they didn't want Oprah in the dome?

That is kinds funny, considering that she was also turned away from a ritzy jewelry store also..

Maybe no one likes Oprah?

[BurbankKarl]

I wouldnt be so sure...the Guard in CA is being decimated by those people trying to pass laws that they can't recruit in high schools. LA Times also said the Fullerton unit was a bunch of criminals for hitting some terrorist in Iraq.

[DollyCali]

sigh

let's move on..

Miss Behave.. I think you should go to law school (or did you?)

[A Citizen Reporter]

Blanco told reporters today that the federal offer was "TOO COMPLEX".

According to Fox News, first I've heard of that.

A stunningly incompetent woman.

[Txsleuth]

Have any of you been watching Brit's show...

THEY have totally pegged the problems and put blame where it belongs...it is great!!!!

[shield]

Bias...when it's absolutely NOT TRUE...if you've got a racial tone...sorry folks it comes from Louisiana itself. NO PLACE ELSE...they didn't evac their citizens 'cause THEY HAD NO PLACE TO PUT THEM...so Texas steps in and takes those poor displaced people.

SHAME ON LOUISIANA...

You should hear what N.O. residents are saying about their city and state. It's breathtaking...they continue to take about how mean and cold the so-called leaders of Louisiana has always treated them. They've never felt so much love from Houston, Tx. and Texans.

[DollyCali]

ok , I am putting on my armor ready for slams...this isn't to just you BK but all..just responding to your pix post

BUT

I think Michael Jackson is an incredibly talented man. He has a lot of problems. As a psychologist, I render him a challenge of the top magnitude.

If he is willing to do something for others (and he has many times) Let's not slam him.. let's say "good job". I hope that we as conservatives will always try to understand and help those who are a mess. And yes, Michael is a rich, sorry, mess.

Okay... hit me?

[A Citizen Reporter]

That was a great segment, Major Garrett nailed it!

[Arizona Carolyn]

No, will catch the re-run... unfortunatly probably a LOT more people are watching Oprah turn this into a black vs white issue...

[Arizona Carolyn]

I heard that... she is a blooming idiot!

[Arizona Carolyn]

So glad I moved. Fullerton! Used to be a Republican area.
