The breach in the levee on Lake Ponchatrain is now 200 feet wide, and the feds and military are trying to get huge sandbags airlifted in.
Unfortunately, they're expecting that the flooding will continue until the lake and city find their level.
If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Press conference:
- 700 people rescued during the night.
- All available boats are engaged in search and rescue.
- "tragedy of great proportions, greater than we've seen in our lifetimes"
- "We have no counts, but we know that many lives have been lost."

Art Crawl!!!
The NOLA news is just terrible.
And the idea that this is just the beginning of the most active part of hurricane season. . . mind-blowing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
But, on the bright side:
President Bush returning to Washington two days ahead of schedule to help oversee Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts, White House announces.
eta: Do you suppose he'll try faith-based recovery efforts? I mean, we already know that humans can part water with God's help....

Now tagless for your comfort.
RE: Prison Break, mayhap my own personal experiences with prisons and their medical facilities are what's giving me such issues with the wank. Judges usually aren't all that good about letting convicted felons choose their facilities--close to home or not. My brother requested one close to home and ended up across the state. And medical care is lax is the best situations and negligent to non-exsistent in the worst.
But it's a me-thing, I guess.
President Bush returning to Washington two days ahead of schedule to help oversee Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts, White House announces.
I think they misspelled "photo op to boost his approval ratings that are swirling down the toilet bowl."

Always Anti-fascist!
You will take my "graf" from me when you steal it from my cold, dead, perfect hands. I don't get many chances to strut my book learning, yo, and that's one. The journalism usage that gets me in most trouble is "sexy". This sounds like a better story than it is, but there's a journalism-sexy, ie. "moving to the hearts and minds" which is very seperate from foamy-sexy, JM, sexy.(But not always...see that stupid Holloway story.) Anyway, I forgot that not everybody knows this one day at a transit conference when I got a strange look for suggesting stadiums got more coverage than transit because transit "wasn't sexy."
