New footage on CNN, guy picked up American flag.

[Bouncy Ball]

In front of I guess where his house was. I thought "oh is this the new sound byte of a guy hoisting up the flag in the midst of all this destruction? Like on 9/11?"

But instead he looked sort of disgusted, and dropped it back down on the ground. His wife was nearby and just shook her head and they drifted away.

By the way, every life lost in this is tragic, every life that will BE lost in this is tragic, but I'm going to be haunted by the babies for the rest of my life.

2. Same here

I keep thinking about my own 2 1/2 month old son.

I can't stand to watch it as it is, but the children, the babies, are the most appalling tragedy.

[Bouncy Ball]

14. Yeah, she did.

I had forgotten that. She sort of looked like "oh fucking well."

He looked disgusted too. It's like he was holding it up and sort of looking at it for a second, then just sort of flung it down and walked away.

12. The TIMES-PICAYUNE reported on this possibility THREE YEARS ago

It was a week-long series in their paper. And yet, under the Bush administration, readiness funds were chipped away little by little until there was almost nothing left.

Almost as if Bush wanted New Orleans to be pulverized.
