they just showed him on cnn walking to a helicopter.
I think if he actually landed the Blackzors would probably tear him apart and eat him.

What the fuck? It's only been like 3 days, nobody is anywhere near starving yet.

don't know if you guys listened to that rant by the mayor of NO ... but he was talking about the snipers and violence in NO.
basically he was saying that the real druggies of the city were not able to get their fix all these days and were basically going crazy and finding alternatives to get their anger out ... also trying to break into hospitals and drugstores.
he said that "it is no secret that NO is a major thoroufare for drug traficking"
but the blacks are pissed for sure and this delayed response WILL be viewed by them and the rest of the nation in a negative manner

I heard that rant. It was actually kinda funny. ANd I hear Jesse "I love to love my love child" Jackson is already on about how the response was slow because the majority people are black.
I knew someone was going to the race card eventually.

IT WAS A HURRICANE, NOT GOD'S MESSAGE
[size=-1]By Leonard Pitts Jr.[/size]
Does it really matter?
The city is flooded, people are homeless and hungry and scared and dead. Shouldn't this be a time for giving money and saying prayers? Should we really care about the color of the people looting in the hurricane zone? Or that Louisiana is a red state? Or that some of the dead are gay?
Apparently, that kind of thing matters to some of us. It matters, for instance, to a black man who posted a note in an online forum saying he is embarrassed by news footage showing that most of the looters are black. It matters to the white people who have sent me notes daring me to explain why blacks are ``running amok.'' It matters to the author of a note circulating on the Internet who says it would be a ``problem'' for a liberal in a blue state to send relief money to a red state.
And it matters to a group called Repent America, which has issued a statement saying the storm was God's way of canceling a gay festival that was to have taken place in New Orleans this week.
It's as tiresome as it is predictable. American disunion being what it is these days, some of us look at even a natural disaster through the distorting prism of bigotry, rancor and fear.
Let me say a few things here. The first is that the city of New Orleans is, according to the last census, 67.3 percent black. Given that looting is predictable under any significant breakdown of social order, who would you expect to find out there smashing windows when the lights go out? Ethnic Hawaiians?
Besides which, white folks loot too. Only it's not called looting when they do it. I refer you to a widely circulated news photo of a white couple wading through chest-high water after, in the words of the caption, ``finding'' food.
I'm sorry, but I have little patience for black people who find shame in this looting. Less patience for white ones who find vindication of their bigotry. It makes me angry that some people think these are the conversations we should be having now.
Our countrymen are in dire straits. We are talking in large part about those who had no means of escape, no cars or credit cards, no way to book a flight, reserve a room, buy a bus ticket, hop a train.
They are, by and large, the poorest and most meager among us and they are living through hell right now. Death toll rising like floodwaters, probably heading into the thousands, corpses floating down the street, and some liberal twit is joking -- God, I hope he was joking -- that the blue states should let the red one suffer? People clinging to rooftops, a great city turned into a steaming, stinking primordial swamp, and some alleged Christians think it's a victory for heterosexuality?
Memo to all these nitwits: It was a hurricane, not God's stamp of approval for your small-mindedness and hate.
Tragedy often becomes a stage for the best of human character. But it seems as if this tragedy is also destined to be a stage for the worst, a spotlight on the divisions that have lately grown so much wider between us.
And then there is the TV reporter who met a distraught man in the aftermath of the storm. He told her how his house had broken in two. How he tried to hold onto his wife as the storm and the water raged. How she told him, ``You can't hold me,'' and asked him to take care of the kids and the grandkids. How he lost his grip and she was swept away.
The man was crying as he told the story and it seemed as if the reporter was weeping too. For the record, he was black and she was white. But in that moment, they were just two human beings meeting at an intersection of inconsolable loss.
There are times when nothing else matters.

Vacation is Over... an open letter from Michael Moore to George W. Bush
Friday, September 2nd, 2005
Dear Mr. Bush:
Any idea where all our helicopters are? It's Day 5 of Hurricane Katrina and thousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be airlifted. Where on earth could you have misplaced all our military choppers? Do you need help finding them? I once lost my car in a Sears parking lot. Man, was that a drag.
Also, any idea where all our national guard soldiers are? We could really use them right now for the type of thing they signed up to do like helping with national disasters. How come they weren't there to begin with?
Last Thursday I was in south Florida and sat outside while the eye of Hurricane Katrina passed over my head. It was only a Category 1 then but it was pretty nasty. Eleven people died and, as of today, there were still homes without power. That night the weatherman said this storm was on its way to New Orleans. That was Thursday! Did anybody tell you? I know you didn't want to interrupt your vacation and I know how you don't like to get bad news. Plus, you had fundraisers to go to and mothers of dead soldiers to ignore and smear. You sure showed her!
I especially like how, the day after the hurricane, instead of flying to Louisiana, you flew to San Diego to party with your business peeps. Don't let people criticize you for this -- after all, the hurricane was over and what the heck could you do, put your finger in the dike?
And don't listen to those who, in the coming days, will reveal how you specifically reduced the Army Corps of Engineers' budget for New Orleans this summer for the third year in a row. You just tell them that even if you hadn't cut the money to fix those levees, there weren't going to be any Army engineers to fix them anyway because you had a much more important construction job for them -- BUILDING DEMOCRACY IN IRAQ!
On Day 3, when you finally left your vacation home, I have to say I was moved by how you had your Air Force One pilot descend from the clouds as you flew over New Orleans so you could catch a quick look of the disaster. Hey, I know you couldn't stop and grab a bullhorn and stand on some rubble and act like a commander in chief. Been there done that.
There will be those who will try to politicize this tragedy and try to use it against you. Just have your people keep pointing that out. Respond to nothing. Even those pesky scientists who predicted this would happen because the water in the Gulf of Mexico is getting hotter and hotter making a storm like this inevitable. Ignore them and all their global warming Chicken Littles. There is nothing unusual about a hurricane that was so wide it would be like having one F-4 tornado that stretched from New York to Cleveland.
No, Mr. Bush, you just stay the course. It's not your fault that 30 percent of New Orleans lives in poverty or that tens of thousands had no transportation to get out of town. C'mon, they're black! I mean, it's not like this happened to Kennebunkport. Can you imagine leaving white people on their roofs for five days? Don't make me laugh! Race has nothing -- NOTHING -- to do with this!
You hang in there, Mr. Bush. Just try to find a few of our Army helicopters and send them there. Pretend the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast are near Tikrit.
Yours,
Michael Moore

P.S. That annoying mother, Cindy Sheehan, is no longer at your ranch. She and dozens of other relatives of the Iraqi War dead are now driving across the country, stopping in many cities along the way. Maybe you can catch up with them before they get to DC on September 21st.

meh, this is a terrible situation but i think americans, as typical, are bitching and complaining too much. yes, the federals fucked up and heads should roll, but what happened to louisiana? why werent these fuckers planning for this inevitable storm? why wasnt NO, which is a city under the fucken sea level, prepared?
why in the hell would you live in a city that is defended by levies?
whatever.
im just already sick of hearing people complain and bitch about what they are entitled to because they make stupid fucking decisions. why is it the repsonsibility of american taxpayers to bail out people who want to be poor and have endless children?
did irish, german, and asian immigrants demand money, supplies, and food when they got off the boats in New York and Long Beach? not that i know of. they got stoned and beaten. and they still made lives for themselves. what ever happened to repsonsibility? why do people who live in the paths of hurricans keep getting federal funds every goddam year? i simply dont get this.
