1. I saw him on TV this morning and I'm still crying

From the transcript:

Finally, Broussard told the tragic personal story of a colleague, and broke down:

I want to give you one last story and I’ll shut up and let you tell me whatever you want to tell me. The guy who runs this building I’m in, Emergency Management, he’s responsible for everything. His mother was trapped in St. Bernard nursing home and every day she called him and said, “Are you coming, son? Is somebody coming?” and he said, “Yeah, Mama, somebody’s coming to get you.” Somebody’s coming to get you on Tuesday. Somebody’s coming to get you on Wednesday. Somebody’s coming to get you on Thursday. Somebody’s coming to get you on Friday… and she drowned Friday night. She drowned Friday night! Nobody’s coming to get us. Nobody’s coming to get us

4. He trusted the system and it failed him

""The guy who runs this building I’m in, Emergency Management, he’s responsible for everything. ...

“Are you coming, son? Is somebody coming?” and he said, “Yeah, Mama, somebody’s coming to get you.” ...

She drowned Friday night!"""

I hope this doesn't end in another suicide.


There is something very very wrong in the USA.

Why did FEMA cut communications?

Why did FEMA turn away truckloads of bottled water, fuel, 500 flat-bottom rescue boats, the Red Cross, and countless other rescue agencies and offers?

And remember, FEMA takes it's orders from Bush's Department of Homeland Security.

Somethings very wrong...

6. I just emailed that cretin Russert.

I have little exposure to this jerk, since I seldom watch the propaganda channels any more. But it was incredible that he would have so little dignity as to interrupt this man, who'd lived through this, to insert the talking points ordered by Rove: The Governor's to blame.

What a piece of shit.

2. This is just one of many, many horrible stories.

I hope that their will be a trial and punishment for this crime.

5. That has broken me down completely

I don't know where I live anymore. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm ready to just quit and leave this country forever. I was ready before this even happened. Now I'm just shell shocked and that's me and I haven't been through what those people have been through and are going through.
