Well now, that would make sense. (But then again, that's the whole problem: it makes sense. Can't have that now can we?)

"Have you noticed that all the houses in the aerial rescues have submerged cars parked in the front yards?"

Interesting. I will pay close attention to this now.

Well the state has no problems commandeering the public school busses after the fact. Here in Alexandria La. the school busses are still outta commision from the evac after the fact (since Fri.).
They claim they need 2 days to decontaminate them now.

I think I found out what the problem was with the Nagin/Blanco evac manual,,,, they were reading the wrong book!

Fellow Freepers:

At the suggestion of writer Michelle Malkin last Friday, I have cobbled together a blogsite called Texas Clearinghouse for Katrina Aid to serve as a clearinghouse for refugee efforts in Texas.

Texas is getting more refugees than any other state -- that's fine, we'll take them all -- but we need help providing them with food, clothing, and shelter.

If you are a refugee, you can information that will help you find relief. If you want to donate or volunteer, you can find someone who needs you.

Right now the site mostly covers Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio but I will add various churches, schools, and other charities in Ft. Worth and Lubbock tonight. My wife spent yesterday at Reunion Arena in Dallas handing out care packages and otherwise ministering to the refugees as a representative of her employer.

There are a lot of churches and other organizations in Texas that need help in dealing with the problem and I would greatly appreciate it if you would get the word out.

Many thanks,

Michael McCullough
