The Red Cross was told to stay out of New Orleans.
The National Guard said they were ready to drop food to New Orleans on Sunday.
Experienced rescue folks have been told to stay away.
Evacuation of the Superdome was halted for a few hours while people who'd been in the Hyatt Regency for the week were taken out ahead of those who'd been in the Superdome for a week.
An 18 year old boy saw an abandoned school bus and used it to transport one hundred people out of New Orleans and into Houston. All the news could report was the bus was unauthorized and call the boy a thief.
Thief? Did he try to keep the damn bus? No. He drove straight to Houston and saved ONE HUNDRED PEOPLE.
But he's black, so he's obviously a thief.
How many are dead who could have been saved even just a few days ago?
As my friend Andy says:
Worst. President. Ever.
But then, this catastrophe couldn't be predicted according to the director of FEMA. Never mind the hundreds of reports fearing exactly this. Never mind the prediction in early 2001 that there were three events which could cripple the U.S.: a terror attack on NYC, catastrophic flooding of New Orleans, "the big one" finally hitting California.
And given our handling of New Orleans, Gulf Port, Star, Bond and the whole of the Gulf Coast region with thousands upon thousands without power, water and food -- given how slow and unprepared we've been, I'd be fleeing California as if it were New Orleans right now.
As so many in Louisiana have said, have been saying for the last week: I can't believe this is the United States.
