Did anyone just see the exchange between Anderson Cooper and Eddie Compass? He tried to pin the chief down on the evacuation issue and the chief about blew a circuit breaker.
Thanks. I really appreciate that.
I will find out--it is really hard to get in touch with anyone on the phone around here--phone lines are jammed.
I just didn't want to ask Anne at the service--it wouldn't have been appropriate.
"he's also the son of a fellow Mississippian (deceased) who was a minor writer and playwright"
Wyatt Cooper was his father, and he is from Meridian.
Both of my parents went to school with him.
I went to school with Anderson's half-brother.
Good-looking guy, (better looking than Anderson, and
he was hetero, for sure) and drove a hot mustang.
But, you have to figure that he was the troubled youth
sent to Grandma's for some straightening out.
"and no, I don't know him"
*GASP*
thud
;o)
According to the obituary in the Advocate of Baton Rouge, Accardo left a wife, Anne; his mother, Catherine; a brother; a sister; and eight nieces and nephews.
It seems that whoever is spreading the "murder/rape" story needs to do some fact-checking. By most accounts, Accardo was a perfectionist personality who had sunk into serious depression as the full magnitude of the disaster became clear.
Dang!
Where are my manners?!
I meant to ping you to the post just above this one.
BTW, I couldn't help but notice that you handily avoided the major points of my commentary. I guess that means that you were full of bull shit.
LOL
I have never asked you but do you remember the local Meridian son of a car dealership family who got in trouble 30 years ago (LSD)and ran off to the Yucatan of Mexico where I think he still lives today.
He'd be mid 50s now.
Does that ring a bell?
an old story
This is true--he had laid out his plans for down the road. He wasn't planning on being a police officer forever. He was going to stay on the force for a few more years and then venture into other things. He was an intelligent. mild mannered guy. He had gotten his real estate license and the media said they had just gotten approval to due a story about it 3 days prior to the hurricane. I heard he was trying to save animals during the middle of all the chaos and also feeling helpless when people were begging him to help them.
Twain was from Missouri.....we'd love to claim him though
Omigosh!
ROTFLOL!
I know just exactly who you mean!
I went to school with him half of my life!
BTW, how do YOU know him?
*BIG wink*
Tancredo said 60% blame to Blanco, 30% to Ragin' Nagin, 10% to the feds.
Replaying now on CNN.
The stupid SOB needs to be arrested on federal felony charges relating to violating civil Rights.
University of Hanoi?
freepmail
he was sort of a legend way back then....a real pied piper of that day
very nice fellow.....harmless....Brotherhood of Eternal Love sort....
Maybe even another cop. If he was aware what they were up to that would be a normal gangland type action to warn him to keep quiet. The flood and lawlessness would cover it. However, until we know for sure we are just contributing to rumors.
and for another one,
SNAFU - Situation Normal, All F'ed Up
Did you hear the whole story on the 36 people that died in the rest home. The staff called families to come get them and then left. There was originally 53 patients so out of 53, 36 were abandoned and drowned. Most were sitting in their wheelchairs.
It's going to be funny watching all the Rats from Louisiana trying to cover their B-tts , when they have the ''ivestigation,'' '' commision,'' whatever......... Are the Rats in the Senate saying they still won't come to the party?
