It just takes a long time to get these things going.

Any major grocery manufacturer could handle this in under 72 hours. Example:

Dinty Moore canned beef stew
12 24 oz cans per case.
1400 cases per truck
$32,200.00 per truck plus shipping.

From order to delivery, barring blizzards: 72 hours anywhere in the lower
48. Other groceries are similar, except for some frozen items. If supplies
aren't delivered to HOUSTON that quickly, it's because nobody has tried hard
enough. If this is the case, President Nookular should be stuck in the crowd
with the hungry so he can live with them until the right thing is done: Let
the grocery business handle it, and wire them the funds.

atl,
I think it is low for Hannity to make those statements. I am glad you agree
that Harry is as low as snake **** to do the same thing.

That's odd, Sean Hannity, the darling of the right wing liars, while
whining about NOT making this a political issue, peppered his diatribe
with many, many insults pointed at the left, and many, many remarks
about how if left wingers were in power, how they'd be inept at getting
anything done.

The current situation would be desperate no matter who is in office. FEMA
is not a political office.

So you're saying pointing out the complete ineptness of our government
to provide basic food, shelter and safety should be ignored because it
makes some politicians look bad? Yeah, screw the needy, let's make
sure the white collar criminals don't look bad.

Harry's a Union thug, errr, Hack, a Northeastern Liberal, and an armchair
theorist. He's about as much of an academian as I am a rocket scientist.

Harry pontificating from the comfort of a northeastern yacht club

the real world know something of real world difficulties, whereas Harry
is merely a theorist, and a poor one at that.

Typical loony thinking......the army is not a humanitarian organization.

Look at Fox News. The Superdome may not be a beautiful site, but it *is* under
control!

Other than the 'yacht club' comment, I'd have to agree. It's easy to sit back,
watch TV, be oblivious to the real world, and complain about anything that
doesn't appear 'hunky-dory'.

Luckily, he is eminently ignore able.

Your trucks do well in six feet of water? Houston isn't the problem. Have you
seen what remains of I-10?

There are over a dozen (12) police, National Guard, Coast Guard, and Medical
Evac helicopters being used in New Orleans. They briefly stopped evacuating
2 hospitals today when a helicopter came under small arms fire. Don't
believe the media- they will have you believing the worst. It IS bad, and
has been poorly planned and coordinated by the local authorities, but there
are untold thousands of police (the New Orleans police have been pathetic,
but they have NO infrastructure, control, or communication), National Guard,
Coast Guard, and Red Cross and other volunteers (literally hundreds of
private boats were out rescuing people before some were shot at today) who
have converged on over 100 miles of obliterated Gulf coastline to help
rescue people and provide food and shelter to them. Many news organizations
fail to mention that HUNDREDS of smaller US cities were either wiped out or
severely affected by this storm. New Orleans, while it is the largest and
poorest of them, is only the tip of a VERY large iceberg.

Smithers is active again, eh? I guess he wore out the sheep.

I just saw a bunch of Bush Administration officials on TV patting
themselves on the back for their great efforts to date, and the Homeland
Security Director saying everything is under control at the SuperDome. I
suppose no one told him about the news reports and videos showing people
dying inside the Dome for lack of food, water, and medical attention.
Most of the emphasis of these Bush officials was on law enforcement, not
relief.

No one told them that disaster victims who are being fed and sheltered
and receiving proper care are less likely to loot?

What a crock this Bush Administration is. They ought to be driven out of
town.

Go back to Goose Bumps. You're "talents" are better appreciated there.
