Shep also said there was a fear of this happening from people trying to cook remaining food on porches,etc.

That is so sad... What were they supposed to do? They are desperate.

Again, lack of preparation and incompetence on the part of that moronic mayor, who has no city left to run.

[OKIEDOC]

Damn I'm angry.

MSNBC just showed the convention center where people are actually dying as we post.

Why don't the cable news networks show whats really going on.

This morning Shep Smith who I dislike for being a girlieman actually showed a body, THANK GOD for real truth.

This is an email I just sent to all the networks:

Dear Cable News

Come on cable news networks let us see what is really happening. Thanks Shep Smith your the first one to show us a body. We can't understand the complete situation in New Orleans as long as you guys on cable keep sanitizing everything.

Let us see what is happening.

But I'm beginning to think that the south is really different from other parts of the country

Could happen any where in the world. Depends on the right combination of circumstances.

[cgk]

every moment that is spent jacking around over the political spin or the proper behavior of the press or the pointing of fingers is a moment not spent on the immediate and dire mission of responding to a catastrophe.

BUMP.

"But I'm beginning to think that the south is really different from other parts of the country."

Don't want to start off topic but them's fighting words.

It's another question that the NO/LA authorities should be called to answer for.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Y'all just learning that Loosyanna is a 3rd world country? Probably has been since at least the days of Huey Long...

[Petronski]

Anyone watching CNN? A crowd of folks flipping off the camera and shouting "Fu*k Nagin!"

The video was unedited.

[Jrabbit]

What an ignorant thing to say.

[Rutles4Ever]

I saw that Planned Parenthood is donating free morning-after pills.

MONSTERS! The blood of the saints cries out in vengeance!

They will have a ring all to themselves...

[whitedog57]

Hmm. The NO police hated having to go the projects in the best of times since they were shot at. Now with these people emboldened, they REALLY don't want to go the projects.

[conservativebabe]

I agree with them. I-D-I-O-T!

[sissyjane]

Nagin and Blanco are the two most inept "leaders" I've ever seen.

[Frank_Discussion]

oh my.

[cgk]

I'm getting the feeling that Shep is getting angry watching people die around him and not being able to help. They don't even have anything for themselves, from what I understand. Earlier on he was sharing the water they had. I don't know what's left.

[Hoodlum91]

FYI - Michael Chertoff, Secretary of Homeland Security, will be discussing federal relief efforts at 4 on "Ask the White House" at www.whitehouse.gov

You can currently submit questions.

And the gas wasn't turned off before the storm because.....

Maybe they didn't know they were supposed to turn it off. (The building supervisor) Who knows some of those type of controls are kept under lock & key.
