You don't agree with one disaster comparison to another?

Well let me just point out that we are comparing emergency response of the local government to a disaster and how they handled the crisis. In both events the nation as whole was dragged into the tragedy but before that happened the local government was confronted with an issue. Those in New York immediately stepped up to the plate in 9/11. I don't think the leadership in New Orleans was up to the task.


Funny, no one wants to comment on the whole Vegas Trip idea?
Did anyone hear the comments by the state governor pointing out that the national guard soldiers don't have the authority to enforce local laws? She's probably right since martial law has not been declared. I guess that would mean the Mayor and his police force are responsible. But wait, they won't be there right now.....they'll be in Vegas. Party on dude.

By the way, how much does it cost to pay someones way to Vegas for 3 days, hotel, restaurants and $200 cash included?
I'm thinking $700 total is a conservative estimate.
$700 x 1500 people = $1,050,000

Wow. That might buy some aid or fix a levy wouldn't it?


Of course now the Mayor says he will order a complete mandatory evacuation using force if necessary...using the national guard. Why now? Sounds like he's overcompensating now.
I tell ya
