Why can't they airlift water, food, blankets, etc. ....

[skooooo]

...to the people sleeping on the highways??

Put a bunch of cops out to protect and distribute items, and start dropping this stuff off so that people won't suffer so bad!

1. I'm listening to the police and national guard scanner

there are 50 buses arriving on that overpass to move those people. They are combining them with the superdome crowd and taking them to Houston it sounds like.

[whistle]

4. 20,000 Super-dome victims plus unknown number along roads..

...and highways leading out of the city. Total chaos! How will Houston respond to an influx of an undetermined number of New Orleans refugees? And where is Tom Delay in all of this? Isn't he always pushing faith-based solutions to situations like these?

6. Tom Delay's idea of tithing is to throw money in the air, and

let God take His share. Whatever falls to the ground belongs to Tom.(Not original.)

So his idea of faith-based hurricane relief is to put your hands together and prey. (No that's no misspelling.)

[Birthmark]

2. That would encourage looting.

Looting has ruined all of their beautiful plans. :sarcasm:

[whistle]

3. Maybe the officials are waiting for a "faith based" solution....

5. Same reason the helicopters didn't show up

to sandbag the levees.
