Joe backed up his arguments with a lot of good information. His heart’s in the right place and being an cop/ex-cop his opinion carries weight doe to experience and training.
And i resent you awarding the honorary title of “(the resident spammer) to post all of his off topic rants” to anybody but me. :P

Hey, that’s unfair…I live in Tallahassee and I know that there will be buckets for Red Cross donations at the game, so people that booted the folks out of their hotels will have a funded shelter.

Since this is an open thread…

Through the smoke, the flowing sewage, the hospital that is just letting the sickest die for lack of ability to care for them, the dehydrated and desperate hordes, the human calamity …..
Look, everyone! Someone in Texas brought donuts! That’s positive news!
Positive news to me would be that the entire potatohead government has resigned, and along with it, the municipal government of New Orleans, and the government of the State of Louisiana.
Oh, and FEMA director Brown has been fired by Donald Trump, and dropped into the Superdome to minister directly to the people trapped there.
I’m watching Bush being briefed down in Mobile.
This is worse than a bad made-for-tv movie at this point. These idiots are doing a prolonged PR and photo-op here and saying to each other things that CNN was saying 4 days ago.
Your tax dollars at work.

To the brotherhood, I say again, don’t pay any attention to those who want to dissuade you from saying what you think is the truth about this giant clusterfuck. I went along with that for 2 days, and I was wrong. I wish I had those two days back to pour it on these incompetant, self-serving crapheads.

Wow Ortiz, thats just…. ummm, something.
Hmmmm makes you think, eh?
Mr.Ortiz
Same link as above: the alligator and catfish videos are also … instructive.

I came on to comment about the same thing. I’m watching them point out the obvious to each other as if it’s breaking news of which the president hasn’t yet been made aware.
And does anyone really think he’d be briefed on this stuff alone? Wouldn’t he have the government people who are going to head up relief efforts in different areas there? Or is Bush going to brief those people?
As ppGaz said, this is nothing more than a photo-op. It’s embarrassing. At this point in the process, Bush should be telling us about what’s being done to relieve the suffering. This late in the game he’s just being told what the damage is??? We’re supposed to believe that??? We’ve all known that for days. But considering that FEMA just found out yesterday that there were thousands of people in the Superdome waiting for relief, I guess it’s understandable.
Meanwhile, poor Condi had to cut her vacation short. Not because of the hurricane and the disaster, but because it got reported in the media that she decided that Broadway and 5th Avenue shopping were the best things she could do during the worst natural crisis this administration has faced.
Oh, and Dick Cheney…remember Dick?…he was on vacation in Wyoming when the hurricane hit. Guess where he is now? STILL ON FUCKING VACATION IN WYOMING! Yeah, no reason to hurry on back to Washington, Dick.
This administration is not just inept, immoral, and incompetent; they’re also the most arrogant and insensitive bunch of elitist pieces of shit in our nation’s history.

I think I have finally found some positive news. I dont believe my self. In anycase, it comes from my imagination. We’re being offered help from around the world. We can use it. For instance, europe is willing to loan us some oil from their reserves. But, nothing in life is free. Maybe, the cost of the aid will be that we share Iraq. That could help us get out. I’m sorry. I’m trying.

What are the odds that Florida State would have the LESS offensive team name in Monday’s game?
