Daily Update-Katrina
Will the SuperDome hold? Were there politics involved in Louisiana's lackluster response to the emergency? How bad will it get?
And the pro-Bush contingent arrives in Crawford.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was a serious and silly time this Week Just Passed.
Cindy Sheehan continued to be silly. Able-Danger percolated. Israel completed its Gaza pullout.
Oh, and Katrina began her rampage.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Coulter and Dowd weigh in on Cindy Sheehan on this Notable/Quotable Entry. Coulter's assessment is hilarious. Well, so is Dowd's but for very different reasons.
Also, who else once mentioned murdering a foreign dictator? Besides Pat Robertson? You'll be surprised.
And what will life be like in Iran after the recent "elections"?

In this Web Site of the Week here's a chance to see an actual video of lightening striking an airplane.
No one was hurt. Or was the airplane damaged.
But it's a sight to see.

Daily Update Below.
A Fair and Balanced Crawford, Texas
The "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy" caravan has arrived at Crawford, Texas. The numbers of folks in this group are estimated upwards of 2,000.
Of course, the nuts over in the Cindy Sheehan camp are still there. But there's way more folks who love America, as opposed to HATING it, now in Crawford, Texas.
Katrina, Bad Management and Politics
The Democrat party owns New Orleans.
Which is why so many people might die today as Hurricane Katrina makes her hit.
The rumor is that the mayor of Louisiana refused to call for a mandatory evacuation until President Bush designated the state as a disaster area. BEFORE the hurricane even hit!
A rather unusual tact to take. Not that a mayor shouldn't first be concerned with saving the citizens instead of money but hey, that's Democratic leadership for you.
Thus a bunch of folks didn't have the time to either leave or to obtain the resources to ride out the hurricane. Louisiana's stupid Governor also came out with some nonsense about getting out the "PB&J" sandwiches and "hunkering down".
Also, hey, New Orleans has been around for many years now. No one's ever made a plan for evacuation. As for the SuperDome plan, well how awful was that plan. People waited for hours just to get in the place.
All of the exits out of the city were jammed.
No one is even sure the SuperDome is going to hold during a Cat 5 hurricane.
No plan, no concern for the citizens, waiting too long to take action.
Louisiana, take a cue from Florida and elect Republicans next time around.
Tomorrow

Here's the weekly true crime update.
No Aruba this week.
For the Piano Man has spoken and his identity is know.
Also, Olivia Newton-John's pretty mellow about her missing boyfriend.
And an update on missing pregnant Amanda Jones and model Popovich.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No text. No great lessons.
Just a Pampered Pet entry with mine own captions.
A smile guaranteed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
