Sure would like to see one of those DVD's fall into the right hands...

Why do you think the looters were stealing DVD players and plasma tv's?

I don't know how much the Feds are going to give LA for rebuilding but they had better be sure that NO ONE in LA government has access to a penny.

That, right there, will be the biggest challenge in attempting to rebuild New Orleans. Corruption is so steeped in that city, that any Federal monies spent rebuilding are likely to wind up in some modern-day Huey Long's pockets.

The people who LIVE New Orleans know, or should know, that a levee can give way at any time.

The people who LIVE on the Gulf Coast know, or should know, to get the hell out of Dodge when a hurricane approaches.

The people who LIVE on the Gulf Coast and in a below-sea-level city in particular should be prepared for this kind of 'disaster'.

People everwhere know, or should know, that Mother Nature is in charge and will eventually win out.

Only arrogant fools think they can sit around and expect divine providence, the tooth fairy, or President Bush, to save them from their own unadulturated arrogance.

Thank God that FEMA sent in supplies BEFORE the hurricane. It was not the city that got those truckloads of MRE's and water in there. Nagin told the people there would be no food and water and they should bring their own. Can you imagine how those people in the dome would have faired on Nagin's bring your own policy alone?

It's amazing how fast the editors of the New Orleans TIMES-PICAYUNE "forgot" the contents of their own headline story.

"Thats true but newspapers telling them that cost 50 whole cents and they didn't own TV's to hear it until AFTER the hurricane so the peoples in New Orleans didn't know they were suppose to get out."

Maybe Nagin shoulda done it as a rap gig, and put it out on CDs.

Betcha it woulda been heard that way.

Democrats whine without stopping, never taking responsibility for their own actions or lack of. The more they whine the sicker people are of them. Sick enough to get to the ballot box and make sure they never run this country again.

I thought you might be interested in this. Might be an answer to your Red Cross question.
