Recent Hurricane Katrina Photos (one graphic pic)


Hurricane Katrina victim Sondra Sercovich from Mandeville, Louisiana, waits in line for a food stamp application, and shows off her new furry friend 'Peanut', a 4-week old baby squirrel she rescued after the hurricane. The animal lover who has 11 cats, 12 tortoises, three dogs, two chameleons, and five children, has been keeping the squirrel warm on her chest, and will be intregrating the squirrel into the family.(AFP/Paul J. Richards)

Wetlands and woods are saturated with oil, north of Lake Pontchartrain, September 9, 2005 after Hurricane Katrina struck. Emergency workers collected the dead of New Orleans on Saturday and the official death toll rose slowly, boosting hopes Hurricane Katrina would claim far fewer lives than the many thousands once feared.

4. The designer certainly intended to push buttons with that design.
However, it is over the line in my opinion.

6. fashion has a political statemet
....this is good....."....because people are dying...I don't feel like wearing a pretty dress"...it keeps it in our face. I am sure that the "designer" was NOT making fun and being tasteless he was being political and telling people to remember.....Paris Hilton will be upset......I would love to see her pictured in this dress...It would tell her "fans" to pay attention to what is happening in this country..fashion carries messages and images....

9. agreed -
SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS for 9/11 families?

And he sure looks like he's having a helluva time. I've always said 9/11 was the best thing to ever happen to him.

8. That picture of Bush just sickens me!
He's such a complete f*ck up!

He's still the same frat-boy, cheerleader, undeserving little imp that he was 30 years ago.

That picture just says it all. Someone needs to make a postcard out of that. "Greetings from New Orleans! Yucking it up and having a grand ol time at the nation's worst natural disaster!"

10. That squirrel pic
bothers me. That squirrel still needs to be on formula. It needs to go to a wildlife rehabber pronto.
