Spoken like a true American that gives a shit about other Americans!

We'll see if the Federal government lived up to its promise to fix the levees.

I wouldn't hold my breath ... all that money went into re-building Iraq!

uh no--it really didn't. They actually spent millions on it.

The faults of old where due to the governor of LA not asking for the feds to come in. Thankfully that governor is no longer in office and the current one is already taking the steps to let the feds in. You see, they feds can't come in and help unless requested. We set it up that way a long long time ago. The former governor didn't ask, she didn't get.

Last night they where talking about starting evacuations today.

Poor New Orleans.

Even I think that FEMA might actually be preparing seriously for this one.

I suspect as global wierding gets wierder, we're going to hear a LOT about FEMA, folks.

sigh, Blanco requested help before Katrina hit.

You people out of the hurricane belt really have no idea how things work.

Those people were ignorant for moving back into that place. Let the city drown, rebuild elsewhere.

Then where would you get your oil fix from?

Hope it goes as well as can be expected for the area... but they should have learned their lesson and take this one a lot more seriously.. I certainly hope for the sake of the individuals down there, that they have...

I hope the local media and the local governments are keeping the populous informed as necessary for everyone to determine if it is going to be OK to stay or if indeed these people should evacuate and get the hell out of Dodge

Like I said--they spent millions ( lots of millions if you prefer )
