From CNN tonight:

  • FEMA has 25,000 body bags on hand.
  • 70% of New Orleans police are homeless.
  • New Orleans Remains 60% under water
  • 15,000 people are still in New Orleans, many refusing to leave.
  • Dr. Henderson was on again. He said people died because of the late response. Mostly old people but babies too. One woman delivered a baby at the Superdome or Convention Center and it died.
  • Michael Brown is standing his ground, back giving interviews and refusing to resign

    Michael Brown has no shame, no conscience. None.

    When you realize how close an election can be, even with rigged machines, 25,000 (an underestimate) is a lot of votes. Go figure.

    BM (that seems appropriate for what you posted): "There is no paper trail." So why are you spreading rumors?

    Brown is done. NO ONE in the country is going to want to have him in charge after this CF is fully understood. He has no experience, and therefore NO REAL CONNECTION to any of the MILLIONS of first-responders who will know just exactly what an F minus this fool's performance has been. Chertoff is also deeply screwed. His credibility just turned face-down. There is going to be a call for better guardians of our security, from within the ranks of the Republican party a lot louder than the TL trolls will like. You guys better man your own barricades.

    Just who exactly is in charge of the LA Dept. of Homeland Security? Who are these as yet faceless individuals? Inquiring minds want to know.
