Nasty lookin.

1. It looks like a buzz saw is going to cut through those states

[A HERETIC I AM]

3. A very big, wet, angry buzz saw

I hope the worst mentioned in other threads does not come to pass.

Positive thoughts for the "Big Easy"

2. It looks as though it can't miss New Orleans.

Did the National Guard help evacuate people?

4. I saw last night on TV that they were making I 55 a one way road

northbound. I didnt see any mention of the NG.

5. What National Guard would that be?

It's my understanding that (most, if not all) LA National Guard are in Iraq right now.

6. That was my thought, too.

:grr:

8. Yep. The Busheviks betray their Imperial Subject as a matter of course

After all, if those Filthy Little Nobodies were meant to have been important, then they would have been born into the network of Imperial Families of the Bushevik Party.

But, to the Imperials they are what Jeb Bush called them and ALL of us long ago..."fodder units".

10. It is betrayal -- against all of us.

God, I hope this turns out much better than it's looking.

9. That would be Texas and Florida National Guard.

I understand there were fewer of those sent abroad.

Since there is a problem evacuating, and the roads are all outward bound, there is no reason the National Guard from a Bush state could not go in there with trucks and drive the poor people to safety.

Why not?????

7. The ones who aren't in Iraq?

?

Don't think so....I've not heard anything about the NG at all.

anyone know?

[titoresque]

11. 1.3 million evacuating

:cry:

12. that's just New Orleans, doesn't count MS n/t
