Some people around here find it odd that I include "ammunition" on my hurricane supplies checklist. I'm sad, however, because I was starting to think that item on my list no longer served much of a purpose and that we'd never seen the violent outbreaks like we saw with hurricane Andrew. What is happening in New Orleans is really eye opening.
Does anyone think New Orleans is a special case? We did not see this level of violence and anarchy during the 2004 hurricane season in Florida. |

no we didn't. the idiots in N.O. that are shooting are a bunch of uneducated stupid fucking neanderthals that don't even deserve to be with my ex wife.
edit: just to clarify, the shooters, looters, and no good doers.

I did not, incidentally, make any of that up. I was driving through New Jersey yesterday and about halfway up the Garden State could no longer pick up my radio station. So I ended up channel surfing and found Air America. I have never listened to Air America. I actually put up with about 15 minutes of the above crap before I surfed around to find something tolerable to listen to.

Wolf-the disaster isn't Bush's fault. His INADEQUATE response is his fault. He simply is not prepared to handle these things. It never came up while he was at Yale, skipping class and partyin' hardy! He is, however, very prepared should someone need a fourth at bridge.

<a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/interdictor/">Journal of a guy in a datacenter in downtown NO</a>, complete with webcam.
...and, if you can connect, point your WinAmp/iTunes to http://216.22.26.45:8002/ and give a listen. It is a police scanner feed of the EOC in the area. I assume the feed is packed and might bounce you out, but keep trying. The atrocities I've heard so far are maddening. I've heard several "Code 4s" (homicides) this afternoon, including a the shooting of a ferry boat captain who was attempting to get people out of the area. |

George Jr today said that no one expected levees to fail. Everyone with minimal intelligence knew breeches would occur with any storm above Category 3. Katrina was Category 5. Everyone knew days before; repeatedly discussing 'the bowl'. George Jr, mental midget, lives in another world. Four days later, George Jr still says no one expect levees to be breached. How do those little heros get support and organization they desperately require when the president just does not get it. Is he looking to blame this on .... Iran (as he also blamed 11 September on Saddam)? |
