Jelly was right. I have no problem saying I'm wrong when I'm wrong.
Wasn't he the guy that said the levee breaches would be fixed in a matter of three hours or so, and who said that deaths would be relatively low, and that things were being blown out of proportion?New Orleans Homeland Security Chief Terry Ebbert calls FEMA's response to Hurricane Katrina an embarrassment.
Pot, meet kettle.
The states of Texas and Mississippi are acquitting themselves well here. Texas is doing a much better job than the feds, much better. We know what the we're doing over here. You can tell Mississippi is doing OK considering their hardships because you're not hearing much.
FEMA is a s of what it was before it was placed into DHS. The Director of Homeland Security should be fired. If this is how DHS handles a natural disaster, I shudder to think what they'd do after a terrorist attack. Good job, Dubya. I may vote Democrat in 2006 just out of spite.
Louisiana officials are so disgustingly incompetent in all of this I think after this is all said and done the state should be stripped of self-rule and run like Washington, D.C. i mean, we always used to joke that the state is more like a third-world country than it is like the rest of the U.S., but apparently that wasn't a joke.
I'm getting pretty angry. I understand the conditions are horrible, but everyone knew this would happen someday, and nobody was prepared to do anything.
Michael Savage said last night that FEMA a few years ago identified the problems, had an action plan which would have been implemented by now, and asked for funding, but were told, sorry, we have to spend that money on the Iraq war.
So, let me get this straight: we're in Iraq to protect the homeland (somehow) from terrorist attacks which may or may not happen, so we can't spend money to mitigate natural disasters which are guaranteed to happen.
On 9/11, we lost 3,000 people and a few city blocks. Now, we're losing probably 50,000 people and an entire city.
Great priorities, Republicans!
yeah, I don't think many of us are buying gas for recreational purposes anymore!
Some updates on the tropics from Jeff Masters.....
Not good, not good.The most significant threat in the tropics is the potential on Sunday or Monday for a tropical depression to develop in the waters between the Bahamas and Bermuda. This is the same location that Katrina developed. This development would occur at the tail end of a cold front that is expected to push off of the East Coast. The latest GFS model run is showing two possible areas of formation, one near Bermuda, and one near the east coast of Florida. If a depression does form near the east coast of Florida, the likely track would be across Florida and into the Gulf of Mexico. If formation occurs closer to Bermuda, the likely track would be northeastward away from land. I think it is unlikey that two systems would form in the this region; the energy for storm formation will probably concentrate in one area and create one storm. Let's hope that if this occurs, the formation region will be closer to Bermuda and the storm will head out to sea.
1:54 P.M. - Emergency Operations spokesman: Hospitals overwhelmed.
1:53 P.M. - Emergency Operations spokeswoman: 49,800 people in shelters in this state right now. Room for 70,000 more.
1:48 P.M. - Blanco: troopers from Arkansas, Texas and Kentucky coming in to help restore order. Sheriff's deputies from as far away as Michigan.
1:47 P.M. - Blanco: I've requested 40,000 troops.
1:47 P.M. - Governor Blanco: Superdome now under control, evacuations resume.
you're a scholar and a gentleman

reminds me of that scene from Zoolander...
remind me..I could use a laugh.reminds me of that scene from Zoolander...
You beat me to it, and I LIKE President Bush.
Is no one caring about the Sniper shooting people in New Orleans?
me too. sad. I thought he did well after 9/11 but now....oy.You beat me to it, and I LIKE President Bush
The people think that the government is intentionally leaving them to die, so they've gone mad and are just shooting at whatever authorities they can find.
Like last years Romero's Undead movie...
his 3 male model roomates get in a "water fight" at the gas staion.. but they use gasonline pumps instead of water hoses...
Thats the problem with our political system and how sensation driven it is. Politicians get votes by showing their cons uants they are "fixing problems", problems that aren't a big news makers don't get put into the spot light.
Sure, everyone cares about abortion and keeping the gays from marrying, but no one cares to look at the environmental problems we have across the country. This is only one diaster that had the potential to happen out of MANY.
So yes, we should be angry at this time, but we have to be a bit introspective and point some of that anger at ourselves for allowing this country to remain ignorant to very real dangers.
Because, of course, gasoline is optional for most people.
Sheesh. Go back to your ranch.
thast what I'm picking up too.
the peopel they've interviewd so far feel like all hope is lost....
now if a crazy guy with a gun feels like that = danger .
Actually environmental clean up has been big business since the first round of base closings in the 90's. When your dealing with billions of gallons of contaminated water it's gonna take time. Army core is good at water.. then next will come tractors to clean up the waste and tear down stuff .. dig everything out.
The politicians sign papers, bark orders and give money.. after that it's now up to the grunts to get done now....
hysterical. I've only seen parts of that movie. I'll have to rent it.his 3 male model roomates get in a "water fight" at the gas staion.. but they use gasonline pumps instead of water hoses..
I'm in real estate development, so I particularly liked the part where he is looking at the mock-up model for his new "center for re ed kids" or whatever. He gets mad and says "is this a joke?! no way can you fit 500 kids in that...why, it would have to be at least 3 times that size"
Houston has made a lot of the same stupid mistakes. Low-lying areas that once were kept undeveloped because of their exposure are now solid housing and retail.So yes, we should be angry at this time, but we have to be a bit introspective and point some of that anger at ourselves for allowing this country to remain ignorant to very real dangers.
If a Cat 4 or 5 hit Galveston Bay, it wouldn't be as bad as it is in New Orleans as far as death because the emergency command, evacuation, search and rescue, and refugee plans are vastly superior, but 1 million would be left homeless.

2:04 P.M. - (AP) Fights and trash fires broke out, rescue helicopters were shot at and anger mounted across New Orleans on Thursday, as National Guardsmen poured in to help restore order across this increasingly desperate and lawless city.
"We are out here like pure animals. We don't have help," the Rev. Issac Clark, 68, said outside the New Orleans Convention Center, where corpses lay in the open and he and other evacuees complained that they were dropped off and given nothing -- no food, no water, no medicine.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said the government is sending in 1,400 National Guardsmen to help stop looting and other lawlessnes in New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
