Chertoff's a liar...I'm in baton rouge and we knew on Fri. Aug. 26

[blitzen]

that Katrina was heading our way

LSU announced Fri. before the hurricane that classes were cancelled for Mon. and Tues. I found a weather-geek website and followed it closely from Fri. afternoon on. Believe me, many of the bloggers (some of whom are meteorologists) were saying that this scenario was more than likely.

1. cnn reporting this now---their weatherpeople do not like to be called

lieers!!!

[Birthmark]

2. You are correct.

Early Friday, Katrina was Cat 4. NO was projected as being in the crosshairs by 5 pm the same day.

intelligent decision making!

4. Weather Channel junkie here - verifying as well.

They showed the projected path and intensity long before it made landfall.

Also went into extensive info about levies, danger to NO, etc.

What? do they think we're that stupid???

5. They're all inside their Beltway Bubble

and never hear a contrary word - or if they do, they fire the speaker.

So much for creating your own reality, dudes.

Hubris.

6. Bill Maher said last night that Bush still thinks the jury is out on

weather forcasting.

So why should they track the storm?
