MSNBC reporter: "We're forming an escape plan."

[Atman]

She is on now saying it is so dangerous there, they are mapping out their own escape route, as it is predicted to get much, much worse as night falls. They have been told not to eat or drink in "public." IOW, hide, because you'll likely get mugged if people see that you have food or water. Even the police said they have received no food or water, either. There is nothing there. They are at the limits of human endurance, and night willl fall, and this will go from very, very bad, to damned near apocalyptic.

And where is Bush? On a bike ride around Maryland? Taking a nap? Fucking "leader" my ass.

1. .........

2. A man was interview by cell phone a while ago

and he said that where he was people were sharing their resources and being very civilized. I just thought I'd mention that not everyone and everyplace has broken down.

[Poiuyt]

17. That's good to hear. People traditionally pull together during disasters

[SoCalDem]

3. eating cake, strumming a gee-tar, playing golf?

there are any number of things he could be doing.. He's biding his time until someone comes up with a plan for him to claim

[leftchick]

4. he is touring by copter later today

more photo ops. :grr:

[pointblank]

10. By coptor??

Aren't coptors being shot at?

If they shoot at his coptor will they napalm the area that the shots came from?

[elehhhhna]

19. no they will immediately invade New Mexico.

[Syncronaut Seven]

12. Seems awfull careless with rescue helicopters under fire and all.

Could this be the opportunity the Neo-Cons have been looking for to dump that liability known as GWB?

Martyrdom ain't so bad George, they'll name public schools and shit after you!

[leveymg]

16. I'd home school my kid instead. And my wife's a public school teacher

;-)

13. Anyone see "Escape From NY"? Prez crashes in apocalyptic

future Manhattan that's been turned into a moat and mines-surrounded prison island. Ex-Special Forces guru "Snake" Plitkin (Kurt Russell) is sent in -- at threat of execution -- to get Prez and a secret tape recording out in one piece.

Rather than save this one, if Shrub's chopper should go down, I think Snake would instead opt to take the electric chair option.:evilgrin:

[SammyWinstonJack]

5. If this doesn't bring down this selfish prick, nothing will.

:grr:

[Guy Fawkes]

6. I can't tell if you're talking about NO or Iraq...

is that a bad thing?

[elehhhhna]

7. Mad Max: Beyond Superdome

[intheflow]

11. Escape From New York.

Same thing.

[SammyWinstonJack]

21. I was trying to remember the name of that movie this morning.

Yes the same thing.

[Ivan Sputnik]

24. Beyond Thunderdome

Out of the ruins
Out from the wreckage
Can't make the same mistake this time
We are the children
the last generation
We are the ones they left behind
And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear till nothing else remains

We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the thunderdome

Looking for something we can rely on
There's got to be something better out there
Love and compassion, their day is coming
All else are castles built in the air
And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear till nothing else remains
All the children say

We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the thunderdome

What do we do with our lives
We leave only a mark
Will our story shine like a life
Or end in the dark
Is it all or nothing

[napi21]

8. Why can we always seem to get emergency supplies to other

places, but we can't do it HERE? I don't understand that???

I remember seeing food being dropped from planes in some remote places, and didn't we manage to get food to the island hit by the sunami?

Can you explaine this to me George????

[Lone_Star_Dem]

18. We dropped MRE's and propaganda... I mean leaflets

in Afghanistan. Does anyone else recall that?

[riverwalker]

9. I noticed CNN has no new video

just showing images from yesterday and a few "happy" stories of reunions. They must have got the memo.

[tyedyeto]

14. I was noticing that too.

Most of the footage on both CNN and MSNBC is from yesterday. They have been showing the people gathering around the sites where busses are evacuating people though. But most is from yesterday.

[leveymg]

22. No, they're pulling their camera crews out.

All we'll see from now on are aerial photos. They won't show us close up pictures of people dying because of Bush. It would spark a nationwide revolution.

[lpbk2713]

15. It's all water off a duck's back.

He's made his fortune and he knows he will never hold a political office ever again.

[Hugin]

20. Exit strategies were never high on the agenda.

[LSK]

23. its 4 days later, where are those National Guard troops

There should be 10,000 patrolling the city by now.

What if a country were to attack America, they could completely invade us. This is what I am learning.

We cant even deploy troops in peacetime. WTF.

[The Backlash Cometh]

25. How long would you go without food and water before you thought

to pick up a gun? Wow. This is what happens when your public emergency system fails you.
