I blame Bush.

I blame Obama's lack of experience.

I hate you both

mkay
seriously though
bush and company LEARNED from katrina right?
fixed all those pesky problems and wont look like complete and total rtards?
right??

/does vegas have a line on this? can I get odds?

Thirty-six thirty-six hours to go...
I wanna be submerg-ED

/ok that sucked

the troops are in Iraq making sure Jordan and Lebanon get their 22 dollar a barrel oil.

Too bad it doesn't fall on Bush till the Governor declares a state of emergency. But really ....good job at knowing how the government works.

I blame Gustav

vrod2028: I blame Gustav

Yet another illegal getting into the USA!

The governor of LA is taking the appropriate action this time, unlike the idiot they had three years ago. The local authorities have to cooperate before the feds can help. But don't let that get in the way of your Bush hating.

BushCo does not have any say whatsoever in where the NG troops go, or when they are deployed. It's up to the governor of the state.

Biatch biatch biatch.

this should end well....

Well, yes they did. They learned that regardless of the desire to maintain state sovereignty, some state and local govts don't roll (or float) that way, so you have to babysit them if something bad might happen.

I REALLY hope this trend ends before Dems get meaningful control of the Federal government.

It's like watching chickens run around with their heads cut off.

Have they finished the levees? Will they prove an embarrassment? I must know.

Bush changed it so that he didn't have to have the governor declare an emergency ^{(^)}

kthxforplayin

Film & Tom,
I'm pretty sure the idiots posted and left, no since in staying around to learn something!

Republicans cannot be trusted to handle this country in case of emergency.

The Response:

You're doing a heckuva job, Brownie

Now we're seeing part two of GOP incompetence in a very timely manner,

Isn't Newohlins pritty much already blowed up?

Does dat mean dat Jefferson Parish ain't gonna get as much free stuff?

FilmBELOH20: BushCo does not have any say whatsoever in where the NG troops go, or when they are deployed. It's up to the governor of the state.

Bzzt wrong ^{(^)}

Hobodeluxe,
I stand corrected. I guess he did it because he knew and idiot state like LA would always vote democrat so "I's can kolet my welfar chik"
Thanks

So, I guess the whole 'New Orleans will always be a Chocolate City' is just bulls*t. Tough sh*t, asshat!

they're saying gas supplies are running out along the evacuation routes. yeesh already

FeloniousQ: ChadManMn: Thirty-six thirty-six hours to go...

/ok that sucked

naw man it wasnt that bad

Thanks man, just don't encourage me. I might take a shot at the next verse.

You know if our troops were home and not in Iraq I think we would have a good chance at stopping this storm. when will the government learn *shakes head*

I bet if it hits New Orleans, and some bad stuff happens again, they'll still vote Blanco and Nagin.

zetawill: Hobodeluxe,

I'm sure that's all he had in mind yes. You know Bush. he doesn't like to grab power.

I blame bush.

If i understand this right, its worse if it hits to the west of the city (as projected) than if it goes to the east, correct? The spin of the storm pushes the worse of the storm to the east of its center, i believe.

Assuming of course Blanco decides to take back the governorship. ;)

Bush Congress changed it so that he didn't have to have the governor declare an emergency (^)

kthxforplayin

Fixed that little typo for you.

So...all the troops are going to NOLA, versus Jefferson Parish.

Anything significantly different about those two places that might engender a belief that one will be more lawless than the other?

Never been there, so don't know.

Take note that Gustav is now over Cuba and it is done strengthening for a few hours - but when it gets over the gulf loop current, there is enough heat potential and favorable upper-level wind conditions for this hurricane to break Wilma's record for lowest pressure in the Atlantic basin.

To quote Samuel L. Jackosn "Hold onto your butts".

Gnomer9: You know if our troops were home and not in Iraq I think we would have a good chance at stopping helping the other authorities provide for the needs of the citizenry during and after this storm. when will the government learn *shakes head*

ftfy

Because we could bomb the storm? Put troupes up at a command post saying "no storms past here"? What's the logic here? Besides the National Guard mostly handles stateside issues anyway, even in non-war times. *shakes head*

most oil production in the Gulf is being shut down today. We all know what that is going to mean for our wallets.

Im sorry Hobodeluxe I forgot the american people are helpless and need someone to save them everytime it rains.

Another pack of lemmings about to wash out to see under the leadership of Pharaoh Asphurhat.

Maybe NOLA could be good farm country.

It used to be.

We're just plain old out of money for crap like rebuilding cities that get erased every summer by mom nature. Hell, we can't even rebuild the ones that are just falling apart because the money moved out.

Thank gawd we have responsible citizens like Michael Moore giving out calm advice. Not really, he's hoping everyone in N.O. drowns so he can use it in his next movie.


/glad LA has a decent governer this time

One day, somebody's going to blame the weather on Bush

Gnomer9: Im sorry Hobodeluxe I forgot the american people are helpless and need someone to save them everytime it rains.

well hell let's just do away with cops,fire dept and the military all together then. everyman for himself.

forget all that "provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare" nonsense.

If you are reading this and you are still in southern LA, AL, MS, stop Farking around and run for your ever-loving lives.

And the GOP has squeezed away the federal revenue stream that pays for infrastructure upkeep.
