  • I'm a freelance tv news reporter and was there in NOLA on the 500 day Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina doing some news reports on how people were rebuilding there lives after Katrina. Please stop by and comment on some of my news work. Thank You and Best Wishes. :)

  • you know...i'm no bush fan, but honestly katrina was not entirely his fault...all he did was come in roll his sleeves up so that he looked prepared for the cameras...was warned about the levees and then later said he wasn't....complimented one of the biggest failures in the world michael brownie....ummmmm yeahhhhh...

  • Katrina wasn't his fault at all. In fact the local and state government assured him they were fine before the storm. But it was found out later then they didn't follow procedure. One local congressmen was indicted for using the National Guard to remove personal items from his home.

  • @nesnman And who was not paying attention during all this?

  • First off, Bush is not a conservative.

    Secondly, you might want to get the real story behind the Katrina fiasco.

  • RAY NAGIN AND BLANCO SHOULD BE exiled

  • is this liar,moron,disgrace gone yet??let me know

  • You Caused all this because of your delayed (no Warning)Bad Bush

  • the weather service has been warning N.O. for decades about hurricanes. Can't blame anyone for it, it's a force of nature.  I hope N.O fully recovers, and can get back to business.

  • Yea, but everyone wants to blame Bush. It is so much easier to blame somebody else than take responsibility for your own actions.

  • Do some research on haarp. some say it can be suggested that this disaster came from non other then haarp. Controls weather,etc,etc. Do some research on HAARP. Youtube haarp.

    Also youtube: phil schneider,william cooper,alex collier,david sereda,hutchison effect,robert o. dean,martial law,fema camps,underground bases,underwater bases,Al Bielek,etc,etc

    The truth is out there. Do some serious diggin'(HARD RESEARCH) on whats going on.

    check under my favorites,as its in there.

    god bless to all.

  • Is it 2009 yet?

  • The Reporter: "Dear President, it has now been 2 years since Katrina hit New Orleans. Are you going to do anything about it?"

    President Bush: "We are going to find Katrina, and we are going to bring Katrina to justice!"

  • 5 stars and favored...

    *Rob*

  • oh, tks. realnewsdm for link!

  • wow twice nothing= nothing!

    Fema dosn't save lives!!

    ask yourself what they do!

  • They take our money in form of taxes

  • what about cameron & other places? NO was nasty before an it still stands yall not the only ones they been getting help for years now its time for many to go get a job

  • Fuck Canada

  • This is absolutely outrageous. Doesn't Bush understand that New Orleans is basically a cage for the worst depravity imaginable? Those animals are now spread throughout the US as a plague on decent folk. We need to rebuild the cage as soon as possible and put them back in.

  • You're the one that needs a cage you disgraceful misanthrope!

  • And yet, everywhere the "victims" from New Orleans settle, the murder rate skyrockets.

    We need to rebuild New Orleans quickly, stock it up with crack cocaine and government cheese. And call these people home.

  • I've lived in New Orleans so don't try to peddle your small minded prejudice to me, I know what I'm talking about. Yeah, there is a lot of crime, yeah, conditions were crappy in N.O., due to SYSTEMIC INADEQUACIES -the schools are a joke, the police are underpaid, and over-worked and the tax code makes for an underserved poor population. However, home ownership was higher than any other poor community in the country and now that's gone. This is not as simple as you'd like it to be.

  • Of the 770,000 violent crimes involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85%, whites 15%.

    Sounds pretty simple to me.

    It gets better though. Roughly 1 million times a year, a firearm is used to stop that type of crime. Very often, the criminal is shot dead on the spot.

    That ALSO sounds pretty simple to me.

    Trust me, they are safer in New Orleans and everyone would be alot happier.

  • Where do you get your statistics? From the frickin' Klan? Most pedophiles are heterosexual men ... should we imprison them all to keep our children safe? If you want to be a racist go right ahead, but quit trying to recruit others to join you in your dim-witted xenophobia. You have no interest in solving problems, you are just vengeful and vicious. That's the same kind of ridiculous thought process that's causing the violence to escalate in Kenya.

  • Those statistics are gathered by the US government and are out in the public domain for anyone doublecheck if they have a mind to. Read "The Color of Crime" for a good summary of the most important info the cops and the courts keep track of (at least in the US). Blacks don't have social problems for us to solve so much as they ARE a social problem to be solved. One important method in widespread use, to limit their violence is to warehouse them in places like New Orleans.

  • You honestly believe that "races" are that different from each other? You don't think that the socio-economic circumstances of a person's life affect their behavior? That's just plain ignorant. By your argument we should warehouse men together because most killers are male and women should live elsewhere. Do you see the faultiness of your logic?

  • & I just saw you've lived in New Orleans so that's cleared out.I'm glad the projects are closed, they were nothing more than crime-havens.The few good people that lived there lived in terror;and now a bunch of nuts want to re-open them.Why don't the people you're defending work!?I know some of them can't,but most of them can.There are almost exclusively illegals and Whites that do the work,I'm one of those that actually did something,and I didn't have to.

  • Dude,NO!!!! We (decent citizens) don't want them back!!! Please no!!!! I'm sorry you presumably have to deal with them; but,I was quite sick of them. We have enough of them back already, trying to re-open the projects,they want everything back the way it was even though all they did was complained when it was the way it was. Nuts!

  • WTF do you know? Are you from New Orleans? Are you just another person that doesn't have to deal with the type of "people" we have down here? I imagine. In the North,West Coast,etc, things are different. Down here,they're mostly criminals, though there are exceptions, exceptions are rather lacking.

  • when you lose your home, your family, and every little thing that ever meant anything to you then you talk until then shut the hell up!

  • Man, now the rest of the country found out why so many people are racist in the South, it's based on experience. Don't you forget there were/are good people down here; but, you're mostly right.

  • Bush did 2 much for da N.O. whaa type of shit is that to say. Da N.O is n America. He is the President so he was obligated.He didnt do enough.

  • Stop using drugs please.

  • If you want to blame anyone blame Ray Nagan and Gov. Blanco. Thats why Lousy Anna has a National Guard. Those dumbshits could have saved some lives had they used some common sense. Hell, I was there and I knew 4 days before the storm hit that I didn't want to be anywhere near the coast.

  • No, why should I?

  • Is this what people really think? How do you rebuild when the insurance company doesn't pay off what it's supposed to?  How do you rebuild when your lives are scattered all over the United States? The type of excuse that you're making is akin to the guy who goes to the food stamp office in a Cadillac. Please, there's more to it than this.

  • Please explain to me how the Danish do it then, they have lived in cities surrounded by water for centuries, yet they somehow survive? Ironic isn't it?

  • The irony is that the Danish came to New Orleans a long, long time ago to see how to build a Levee system ... the difference is that their government followed through with investments in the infrastructure and funded the contruction of their levee system. Our government ignored it's own legislation and never got the funding to the Army Corps of Engineers to update the New Orleans levees ... for 40 years the legislation was in place and the money never showed up.

  • The governor, local reps & senators, city council and mayor are pretty amazing to not to have the ability to raise taxes or issue bonds for a decent levy (after being told it was inadequate years beforehand). But I'll go back to blaming Washington DC because it is easier to blame federal government than take responsibility.

  • i d ont get it'

  • Bush makes big promises and then does the opposite, as always. This time he threatened to veto the coastal restoration bill. But Congress passed it with a veto-proof majority. If he comes to your town and promises you anything you can expect nothing but grief.

  • yes sir, these are my friends. we forget about the gov't, b'cause they forlorn fell us short, sir. watch?v=rdHiu8tXY-4

  • Hey you folks re-elected the same folks that failed you. Americans have lost the will to survive. WE too stupid to exist.

  • George W. Bushisms-

    "And, Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job."

    ---To FEMA director Mike Brown, who resigned ten days later amid criticism of his job performance.

    Mobile, Alabama; September 2, 2005

  • yeah, and Mayor School bus Nagin did a great job, that Bastard was nowhere to be found, Katherine Blanco, nowhere to be found, what a bunch of ingnorant Bastards, I would cut off all Federal funds from New Orleans.

  • I wish America learns from Norway, how to treat Americans and other human beings better than America does. With out having the heart for the very people who served America all their life time, bluffing about being the richest empire and the super power of the world, won't do any one any good, because empires rise and fall, with grace or with out grace, depending how they treated their own people. See the film, "Sicko", and you will know that IT'S ABOUT TIME FOR AMERICA TO CARE.

  • Amen, MySeizures. Empire is what the neocon agenda is all about. Money+power is their sacrament..

  • Choose One: 1) Empire -or- 2) Infrastructure. We choose #1 because many Americans are too mentally flabby to think for themselves.

  • I think most of us, if given complete+truthful information, can make good decisions. Some knuckle-draggers refuse to think for themselves!

  • Well I guess that next time that there is a natural disaster in the world then we will let Norway lead the way giving food and aide!

  • I do ALSO- SINCE WE CANT LETS GET fred IN

  • FEMA=Fuck Every Man Available

  • Ok I realize that Katrina caused massive damage to a wide spread area but DAMN!!! The destruction of 9/11 was takin care of in a MUCH quicker manner than Katrina was. FEMA even had a training program that outlined a strategy as to how to handle such a similar event in the area years before this happened. I unfortunately can not recall the project name, but read about on the the FEMA website, but governmental funding was cut. Gee George I wonder why??

  • Help your self that god will help you!!!!!!

  • the only ones working to rebuild the whole thing are the Ilegal emigrants Not the Unions Not the Bush/cheiney companies Not even the black pleople what's wrong with you guys.

  • I will give Nagin the credit for warning the people, then, he fell to pieces and didn't do all he could to get people out of the Lower 9th Ward and elsewhere. People love to throw blame at the president, but frankly, local planning is 90% of saving people in the event of a disaster like this.

  • The only way that you have this much time to type 567 messages is that you MUST be one of those jobless leaches, that thinks the gov. OWES them a living. I'll bet you were one of those lowlife shitbags that were washed out of New Orleans and will sponge from us as long as you can.

  • I have a better paying job than you which allows me to type as many messages as I want, dumbass, fuck off and die in the next hurricane.

  • Oh my God, twilliger123 you're STILL here ! Step back and look at yourself. You've been at this for a week. Get a life dude. You are one demented f#*#. Please go do something. However, do not watch TV news. That is where you got your moronic views of the world. Try to get real facts and think on your own, you liberal media brainwashed idiot!

  • Two years, and some people are still living in trailers. Get a job and get an apartment, fuckin losers. If you had a home, it should have been insured, if you rented, MOVE!! Dont suck on the government.

  • Steady there, teddy. In case you have been asleep for 6 years, Bush/Cheney Inc. have been sucking on US! As the prostitute said," I don't mind getting screwed, but I'd at least like to cum once".

  • You fuckin idiot, Bush is a hell of a lot better pres. than gore or kerry would have been, and a million times better than that castrating bitch, hillary. Losers generally dont like whoever is in power, because they are not doing well in society, and blame the leaders. Get a life, an education, and a job, loser.

  • teddy, First of all-fuck off! Second, Bush has eroded our constitution and steered us towards fascism (look it up in a dictionary), which might be OK for YOU-not so much for me. Third, I'm one of the few in the dissapearing middle-class who's doing OK. I have a UNION JOB, a decent life, and my pre-No Child Left Behind education has served me well. You, obviously, can't make the same claim...

  • Scooticus, First of all, fuck off. I should have known you are a union fool, cant negotiate your own pay like the rest of us. If im not happy with my pay and benefits, I go to my boss and work it out. if I cant, I go work somewhere else. I dont march around the building with a picket sign, Id get fired immediately, rightfgully so. Unions have destryoed all the big manufacuring in this country.

  • Unions are Democracy in the workplace,you zombie tool! Conservatism+Rebublicans like you sent our jobs overseas. BTW, use spellcheck...

  • You ignorant fuck. First of all, dont tell me to use spellcheck, actually, I have a degree in ENGLISH!! I just type fast and don't proof read my internet communications. Second, UNIONS have sent jobs overseas, because you union types demand too much money for what you do. Third, there is no democracy in the workplace, buisness is a dictatorship. Open your own buisness sometime, hire some employees and then try having a democracy, the employees tellig you what to do. Try it.

  • GOODBYE!!

  • Good answer. I see you can't argue those points.

  • Where's your "English Degree" from? You misspelled business TWICE! That just makes you look ignorant, teddy. Unions bargained for things we all take for granted-40 hour work-weeks-health benefits-safety regulations-the list goes on. You have a problem w/democracy in the workplace, so I must assume you have a problem w/democracy-period. No wonder you like this president-fascism works for you!

  • hahahaha you peice of fucking shit go suck a magicans dick you fucking pond skum

  • have some respect, have u forgot so soon people died if happened to u what would u do

  • The bowl-shaped city must pump water out even during normal times, and the hurricane threatened electricity that runs the pumps.

    MAybe if bush cared he would have run an extension chord from crawford TX to New O to power the pumps.

  • Just received another DNC talking points brief.. "Bush planning another Hurricane"

  • All Star General solute Commander in Chief after he steps down from the Aircraft, that's why we lost 3,700 soldiers.

    I just don't believe, those GENERALS are in Charge in Iraq.

    In the middle of a war, they not suppose to solute the Commander in Chief. Where they 're graduated from ?

  • i would much rather ruff it out in my house then try and get stuck in traffic when a cat 5 hits..

  • wake up american! 9/11 was an inside job the media is rigged i have 100% proof of this on my site, please look at my site and spread the news! All the answers are on my site.

  • BUHS, yours are not to save lives nor to fix cities.

    THOSE that it applauds you and THOSE that it whistle, ALL THINK, yours are to destroy.

  • The levees failed mostly because of a 1965 faulty design and chiefly because the floodwall was not completed, as for 40 years there was no sense of urgency from the local Government, the COE, or from Congress. President Bush was 19 yo in 1965..Why do you blame him for?

  • we blame him b/c he broke promises made to the gulf coast.. we blame him b/c for 4 days he sat in texas on vacation and did nothing while american citizens and people in hospitals died.. we blame him b/c he spents billions on iraq when we shouldent even be there but he cant help thousands of refugees without a home in his own fuckin country. we knew the storm was comeing about a day before it hit.. try to evacuate dallas in a day or two.. even then you still have hospitals and retirement homes

  • blah blah blah blah blah same old crap everytime.

  • these people knew the storm was coming...They had time to get out..Dont blame bush

  • Dude, I agree about don't blame Bush (for THIS).

    But really, as far as the people who were left behind, it ain't always as easy as just grabbing the cats, and the old folks and leaving.

    Show some understanding to those who were screwed over by their state and local governments.

  • Imagine if all the money bush has spent on this stupid war New Orleans could have been rebuilt.I live in Australia and many of us here thought it was disgusting how the people were treated by Bush.They were left to die.he took his time visiting and his daddy and clinton did a better job.I saw the fema trailers are making people sick May the city be rebuilt soon.Best wishes to the people of New Orleans.

  • you heard about Mike Gravel being kicked off the AARP debate?

    blocking out the only senior in a debate about SENIORS

    why don't they block out Obama from the next minority debate? or Richardson from the next immigration debate. This is an outrage. call them 1-888-687-2277

    Bruce at 515-697-1001. liberty or death!

  • nagin is an idiot.. and no one is saying that he isn't... but honestly what the fuck is he going to do about New Orleans? were not exactly the richest state in the country. broken promises... but when it happens to you don't say you were not warned.

  • Since the levees are owned and the responsibility of the Army Corps of Engineers, a FEDERAL government agency, who were supposed to inspect, repair and strengthen the levees until YOUR President and his administration took the money to do it and put it into Iraq instead are responsible. What happened after is a travesty, but it wouldn't have happened if not for your President's taking of the funds and inaction. CASE CLOSED....

  • where is your proof that money specifically marked for the levees was used for iraq. Prove it. Dont just make shit up, back it up!!!

  • i dont think REPAIR would have done anything. Those levees, if they were at 100% would not have stopped the water.

    Forecasters predicted the storm surge could reach 28 feet; the highest levees around New Orleans are 18 feet high.

  • Q&A with the Army corps cheif

    Q: What's the earliest date we could have a new levee system to withstand Category 5 storms?

  • A: That would be kind of hard to predict right now. It would take years, even if we started today, designing to that level, actually getting contracts out on the ground, buying real estate. Some of the old levee systems might have to be rebuilt. Building a new levee system on top of it.

    In some cases you might be able to expand the existing levee system and work from that. It could be 10 or 15 or 20 years.

  • that means that even if they started as soon as bush got in office. They would not be done in time. CASE OPEN ASSHOLE!!!!

  • they could have been at least strengthened to the point that they wouldn't have failed. That has been proven in three different independent studies, even one with the Army Corps of Engineers, and I don't have to prove anything to you, fucktard, it's been proven time and time again, stop watching Faux News and maybe you'll actually learn the truth for once. Fuck off and die, and I hope it's in the new level five coming right up your ass.

  • keep believing the dictator and bow like the sheeple you all are baa baa baaaaaa - and burn in hell with him too jerk.

  • still at it w/these nimrods? you're a better man than I, twilliger. I love your anger, but you gotta take a break, my brother! PEACE...

  • you are one angry person. I know its hard to get beat up on a regular basis like this.

    you dont have to prove anything because you have no proof. You cant stand it when someone flushes your theory down the shitter. yoiu are a bonified LOSER!!

  • the only thing you've flushed down the toilet is your credibility, asshole, using shit you got from Faux News only proves your close and one minded mentality over and over again. Scooticus, the people who actually went through this and myself and the only ones who know facts, you are a robot...fuck off.

  • my info is far from fox news you moron. i know thats the only weapon in your arsenal. just because you "went through it" doesnt mean you know shit. you have proven nothing except that you are a left wing wacko who has no thought process except for what you are told to think. i feel sorry for you.

  • can anyone from New Orleans confirm this?

    did it take 6 days for relief to get to the stadium?

    I also watched the Obama clip. Notice the change in his voice-odd?

    How much is paid in taxes to a gov't that cannot respond adequatley?

    If these people are forced to rebuild on their own, who gains from this?

    Would you sign over your future to save your present situation?

    Does the premise of economical slavery dictate your daily life? Apathy?Acceptance?

  • fed. aid arrived 4 days post katrina... the canadians were there b4 our government... i do give credit to the coast gaurd, and wild life and fisheries though.

  • George Bush hates black people

  • I'm done with worm sucker bush. I'm done with the republiCONS. Dubya makes me want to write bad checks.

  • If you didn't live it. What would you know about it. I lived it and have compassion for all involved. May this never happen again to NEW ORLEANS.BEEN THERE DONE THAT1

  • liar

  • BUHS, lo tuyo no es salvar vidas ni arreglar ciudades.

    LOS que te aplauden y los que te silvan, TODOS ESTAN DE ACUERDO, lo tuyo es destruir.

  • stfu bush u ain't gonna do shit!!! He just flew over it like he don't give a fuck!

  • President MrBUSH like Moses departed the incoming Water saving New Orleans!. Is in the New 2007 Christian Bible Version.

  • more lies

  • someone mentioned buses which made me think about the politicians who herd up voters in buses to vote on election day but couldnt bus the people out for a storm knowing plenty of time in advance. FYI the people who would have actually left.

  • In my opinion, the Democratic Party in Louisiana deliberarately conspired to withhold all of those busses that just sat there unused and flooded eventually, so they could have a catastrophy and blame it on Bush. The levels those scoundrels will stoop to never ceases to amaze me.

  • Run by assholes.

  • America is a banana republic that tortures people, while a few get stinking RICH.

  • To President Bush: Please resign and let someone who has pride in America run it. You are slowly tearing it to pieces. It is obvious you want a "ONE WORLD" government.

  • blind leading the blind

  • This is what the religeous right wing has given us...a moron for president. What have you ignorant fools done?

  • An Absolute ASS for a president... How could the election process do this not only to the American People, but the World.

  • This is stupid, the government can't rebuild everything. The owners of these places just lost out, didn't have insurance or whatever. A lot was rebuilt, these people got to realize shit happens move on, stop asking the government for hand outs. You had two years to call that number and you just called it now?

  • I had insurance (incl. flood), good job, good income, happy life, constructive citizen. I'm now way in the hole after fighting w/insurance for 2 yrs.Federal agency Army Corps of Engineers at fault, we the citizen pay. Hope you get hit by flood, tornado, fire, plague, then you'll know.

  • Maybe the good people of New Orleans could use some "intensified economic assistance", no?

  • President Bush, marshaling his arguments to maintain current troop levels in Iraq, has approved the acceleration of a new program to intensify economic assistance directly to Sunni Arab regions where former insurgents have joined American forces in fighting extremist Sunni groups, senior American officials say.

  • well.maybe this is the truth.but i don't believe it.because i trust bush

  • Are you actually serious?

  • He's full of fucking shit.

  • Vote Ron Paul 2008

    There is Hope For America!

  • In the (pending) release of the Government Accountability Office's report on Iraq, leaked to the Washington Post, regarding the Iraqi govenrment, it has been stated, "Overall, key legislation has not been passed, violence remains high, and it is unclear whether the Iraqi government will spend $10bn in reconstruction funds."

    I bet $10 billion would sure help New Orleans - wouldn't it?

  • I lived in New Orleans for 2 years. The city government is incompetant, corrupt and inept. What happened there didn't surprise me when buses were left unused to evacuate it's citizens.

  • another faux news junkie....you're a blithering blabbering idiot.

  • America under the Bush administration is but a shadow of what it once was...

  • that's a big pile of plop...the only people doing better are his rich friends. And we are actually more at risk for another terrorist attack now more than ever because the whole world hates us now. He would love for it to happen again so people can be scared and actually think he's doing a good job. More studies are showing he caused 9/11 with Saudi Arabia so he could attack Iraq. Can't believe people believe him on that one!

  • i totally agree,.. america is in denial b/c they like the way things have gone for the last 60 years, but let me say even rome fell... im afraid by the time people realize whats going on its gonna be to late. im just sorry it took a disaster like katrina/iraq to figure it out... think outside the box... sometimes you need to see both point of views.. not just what the president tell's you.

  • IMPEACH BUSH NOW!!!

  • There's no basis to impeach President Bush.  If you have any facts, I'm all ears.

  • how about the overwhelming sense of pure incompetence?

  • Yeah, I agree. I lived there Governor Nagin could have used the National Guard to drive all 550 school buses and prevented the mess around the Superdome. Then you have these wacko's shooting at our own National Guard. It was a third world city when I left it today and I think things haven't changed for the better.

  • In the (pending) release of the Government Accountability Office's report on Iraq, leaked to the Washington Post, regarding the Iraqi govenrment, it has been stated, "Overall, key legislation has not been passed, violence remains high, and it is unclear whether the Iraqi government will spend $10bn in reconstruction funds."

    I bet $10 billion would sure help New Orleans - wouldn't it?

  • Then ask the Congress and the Senate. They are the Feds (educate yourself and learn that US Presidents can only sign or veto, it is Congress' responsibility to act).

  • Why is your Mom responsible for you no cleaning up your room?

    It is idiotic to blame the Feds for what the Governor of Louisiana failed to do, or the Governor for what the Major failed to do.

    Bigotry is the result of hate and ignorance. It is bigotry to blame the President.

  • Bigotry to blame the prez? That is some twisted pretzel logic. The levee system is a FEDERAL project-Army Corps of Engineers-NOT state or local.

  • Mr.Bush was wrong is 1-877-568-3316

    that's why after 2 years New Orleans

    still a mess..

  • And when FEMA pays out over 700,000 claims of assistance and the population before Katrina is only 500,000 there was some major fraud abuse going on, and who pays for that...umm let me see, dat might be da honest tax payers!!!

    So bottom line... don't build your house (slab) on grade on living swamp. Don't let a levee, dam or any other man made barrier give you a false sense of security. And when and I did say when it happens again get the FUCK out of dodge!

  • wow i couldn't agree more this is what i have been trying to tell the "victims" and i think many americans agree that is why the response was so bad.

  • Sad that people that live (ed) in New Orleans don't know their own history of the city and what it is built on... a LIVING SWAMP. Very little of New Orleans is above sea level... it is very unfortunate that it flooded but don't give me a lot of shit about the government or anyone else owes those people.

    You don't go build a house (slab) on grade that is a living swamp. Every Spring they have to pump mud underneath their foundations to keep them from sinking.

  • Bush is the Antichrist! Send the most advanced army on earth to shoot million dollar bombs at dirt farmers. And lied to do that! A real patriot and honest man! And all us self rightous idiots let him and congress blow smoke up our asses. We can't even get the border closed.

  • I'm not trying to spell "waxman" I'm trying to spell "Wxman" Which if you were at all educated you would know that "WX" is the Morse code letters for weather. I am a Weather Man, thus, wxman.

  • lets so hoe? That makes no sense to me. And my family IS scattered all over the country. I have family in over 5 counties in Ireland. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to drive around the country to see them all? It's a bugger!

  • Not if the reps from those states ask for the federal government to stay out of it..

  • there's no oil in new orleans...thats why bush doesn't care.

  • "we need you to give us free handouts, because all we did was sit around waiting on the welfare checks and decided to buy 26's instead of renter's insurance"

    we've already spent 2 times the gdp of the entire state on that worthless welfare district of freeloaders otherwise known as NO, and have only toed the water identifying waste with 1 billion accounted for and growing.

  • he is not actually from Texas by the way, he was born in connecticut. he claims to be from Texas because he thinks it sounds cool. Everyone I know here really hates him.

  • everyone you know probably sucks on penis too.

  • I traveled Holland, Germany, Italy two years after World War II. There was barely any sign left of the five years of war and destruction. Cities were rebuilt, except for some green hills, I was told it was rubble covered with soil and planted with grass,

  • Bush is Mexcio's best friend, 50 million ilegals and now he will open the door for 50 millon ilegal and unsafe trucks. Is Bush going to run for President in Mexico. Lets move the White House to mexico City for he can have a nice place to live when he wins.

  • I'm sorry for confusing you with facts, truly. Please don't read about the 1906 earthquake in your own state, don't try to educate yourself about the contribution the Gulf Coast makes to the entire country's economy, don't think about what it would be like to run out of gas while stuck for 24 hours on a freeway in Houston while a massive hurricane bore down on you. It's just too complicated, isn't it? If you want to finish college, tho, you're going to have to expand your mind a bit.

  • As being from St.Bernard, NOLA suburb, I koow they are helping people, the question is what have they done with all the donations because they are not reaching us. Early on we got $2000 FEMA and red cross. I was greatful because I lost everything, even my wife's purse with all they money, ID's.. Thats it!

  • I'm worried about the big picture. After surviving Katrina, seeing how officials treat good people, in respond to disaster, like we were leapers in a leper colony, or like the movie the siege. They really don't have a clue as to what there doing, and the foresight to see how it effects things down the road, i.e. Iraq. I hope they don't have an outbreak of some kind, or tsunami, because we all will eat, what I have only tasted.

  • Great point and well said St. Bernard. Your parish is an inspiration to all of us - resourceful people doing what it takes in spite of abandonment and govt ineptitude. God bless you from a fellow NO area resident.

  • yeh great point maybe you should move and not stay in new orleans like a dipshit.

  • do you have a row boat?

  • Ignorance of anpaulsen, wheeliechef, fishhead (whatever) is so outrageous, it has to be a joke. Some dumb nitwits saying the stupidist things they can think of just to piss thinking people off. BTW, anpaulsen or anncoulter or whoever you are: after the 1906 SF quake, the U.S. army provided security, food and shelter, the U.S. and CA provided massive funds for rebuilding, and ins.companies paid lg claims without quibbling. Read, learn, grow up!

  • i don't need to read anything about 1906 to come to the realization that in life you make choices. you make a choice where to live, where to get an education, where to work, how many kids to have. I make choices that will shape my future. i would never live in places like this for fear of natural disaster.

  • i also would make sure i picked a great homeowners insurance policy. I make sure i go to college. i make a concious decision everyday. i want to better myself to make more money and be self sufficient. i do not rely on the govt. for financial aid in anything. i am looking out for all of you, believe it or not. i don't think anyone has the responsibility to take care of me.

  • OK, anpaulsen, I'm proud of you. I pd my way thru college AND grad school. Now, where do you live? B/C all of us who live in coastal regions (NO, NY, Miami, Houston,Boston, Charleston, etc)are going to come live by you, OK? But don't expect to be able to buy gasoline for less than $20/gallon, eat seafood, export US products, because we'll all gonna be in your "safe" place, OK? And, while I'm at it, I'll take your job, too, b/c I'm better educated and more qualified. Watch what you ask for.

  • no i said stay over there don't come over here:)

  • you can go inland to areas without the threat of a hurricane you can go just inland and don't have to live in hurrican prone areas.

  • although you would fit right in with the hippys here.

  • You know, I fit in just fine here, with the white, black, brown, asian, hispanic, cajun americans who call this region home. Why don't you come see it sometime? We are the friendliest, warmest people in the country. We'll feed you amazing food and play you the greatest music, then you can go home to your "safe" place and think about what you learned.

  • good someone has to live with them because i don't want to. there is still segregation where i live. capitalism provides excellent segregation:) GOD BLESS AMERICA AND CAPITALISM!!!
