17. Beer + Pizza = ultimate comfort food.
Knock yourself out.
When you turn off the TV and get off the computer, and if you're sober enough, maybe you might take a hot bath, then head for a good night's sleep.

Your loved ones are in our prayers.

46. it was stomach-churning, as I've been through that area briefly.
If I hadn't gotten the good news about a the friend in Diamondhead (not far west of Gulfport) before I saw this, I would have been totally climbing the walls after seeing how much was laid waste. I'm guessing Katrina will be retroactively upgraded to a 5, as Andrew was.

9. Howdy All
I'm just heartsick as I watch this. All the flood pictures I've seen happening in LA, MS and AL reminds me of when Hurricane Floyd struck the Eastern part of North Carolina in 1999. It rained on us for days and flooded out cities and towns. It killed people, animals and just washed away some places to the point where they were never rebuilt.

This is horrifying.

"We will just run the video and the excellent reporting by xxxx"

Class is class and KO has class.

BTW Rev nice sermon ..... FUCK BUSH .... he was golfing as this thing hit.
the storm went over Florida a class 1 storm ..... the hot waters of
the gulf (90 degrees F) built it to a class 5 ..... welcome to global warming.

23. And the beauty of that kind of sermon...
is that ANYONE can preach it.

Go ahead and try. Just say it out loud.

Feel better?

22. This show has been remarkable:
KO laid it out with that 10 minute video of ONLY 18 miles. How horrifically sad. They lose their homes, chances are they lose their livelihoods, and what does the future hold?:cry:

24. Just popping in to say "Hi."
And to pass along my concerns and regards to any Gulf DUers or those who have family there.

:hug:

This is horrible. Just horrible. And getting worse. :cry:

And where is Bush? Fiddling on the guitar while NOLA floods.

27. Hi, Clark
It kills me that * was getting on with his life out on the golf course today. You can bet that if the Big Dog was still in the WH he would have been out in a helicopter surveying the devastation and coming up with a real plan.

37. There's just not a whole lot to say about this, is there?
And wisely, Keith knew that. He let the pictures tell a great deal of the story.

It's an unbelievable story.

Sheesh, tonight my roof is leaking again. But it's a little drip. There will be world enough and time to repair it. Next to this, it seems like nothing.

I guess I just have to say this here: it amazes me that we hear complaints about Keith and his big ego and how he always has to put himself into a story--yet he goes and does an hour of television like this. Meanwhile we have the ever-exploitative Rita Cosby trying to wring our hearts out with "survivors' heartbreaking stories"--while she's in fricking ARUBA--don't you feel ashamed, woman? You should--and Joe Scarborough milks his own hurricane experiences for all they're worth (which is nothing). Oh, and he's going to tell us "how you can help." Guess what, pal, Keith scooped you on that one.

And this is the man who we are always hearing (from his enemies' rumors, anyway) that he can't handle breaking news. He just doesn't know what to do. Please...I would rather watch an hour of him than six hours of these other bozos.

Aside from that, what can be said? A city underwater, small towns gone, huge buildings tossed like toys?

Please, take care if this has had a direct effect on you. Take care of *yourself*. Know when it is time to unplug. Meanwhile, there will be a whole lot of people wishing you better news than you believe you can hope for.

:hug: girl.

I only have one friend from the area - not a close friend - and, of all things, I actually saw her in the grocery store tonight. She hasn't heard from her family, either. She was in tears, bless her heart.

39. Thoughts
And bush golfed as the storm was bearing in on the gulf coast.

I wonder how much longer this country is going to put up
with that clueless bastard.

KO = class

Class can not be bought
no matter how expensive the booze ....
it is still just a shot.

Bless the Rev for her "sermon"
FUCK BUSH
she sings it like Ethel Mermen

And bless the Babe from the American Red Cross
Keith let her talk .....
Right now she is boss.

The boy King does not understand
This Country needs a leader ....
take charge ..... you SOB .... you wanted to be the man.

So across the south they start to get up
not democratic .... or republican .......
just true blue American Pups.

43. Well, our high school did do a production of Annie Get Your Gun.
"With a Gu-un! With a gu-un! Naw, you cain't git a man with a gun.."

But my best friend Stephanie was Annie. I was an indian woman in Buffalo Bill's travelling Wild West show. Long story w/lots of make-up and spray-black hairspray. :)


Oh, Sparky - can a woman like me get a man with a gun? :loveya:
