Evacuee bus overturns in La.; one killed

OPELOUSAS, La. (AP) — One Hurricane Katrina evacuee died and many others were injured when a bus carrying them from the Superdome swerved across a highway median and overturned Friday.
The accident happened when the driver lost control of the bus, but other details about what caused the wreck were not immediately known, said Trooper Willie Williams, spokesman for the state police.
Between 45 and 50 people were on the bus; every one was transported to a hospital, he said.
"We have multiple critical injuries and multiple serious injuries and some minor injuries," Williams said.
The bus overturned about 130 miles west of New Orleans.
The bus was the last of five charter buses in a convoy from New Orleans. It was unclear where the storm victims were being taken.

That's genius.
I can't believe the web "designer" did that, and serves them damned right.
It takes an amazing amount of chutzpah to do that. Wonder how long he'll keep his job.
See, now I'm even more cynical, because this...
Bush sprinkled levity in his remarks at New Orleans' airport at the end of the day. He talked about coming to New Orleans years ago and enjoying himself "occasionally too much." He said he believed the city will recover and "be a better place to come to."
Reads to me like: "New Orleans will be a better place to stay now that we've flushed out and killed all the poor black people and there's only the tourist traps left."
It takes an amazing amount of chutzpah to do that. Wonder how long he'll keep his job.
Hopefully, not long at all, though it's probably the CEO's son.
A few years ago a friend of mine had one of her photos posted on another site, can't remember which one, with the designer claiming it as their own. But it was a fairly high traffic site.
Friend swapped out photo with pr0n.
Problem solved.
OK, in the WTF? department:
Tulane, Loyola-NO, LSU-NO, and Xavier-NO students can now call schools all over the US and continue their studies provided there's space. There are limitations with most degree programs (some law schools only accepting second and third-year students, e.g.), but generally a student can call any school and ask for admission into their graduate degree track.
Unless they're in public health. You see, the organization that is the general overseeing body of public health schools has decided to force all students to go through them. The org will decide where the students will continue their MPH and PhD programs (in their words "be farmed out"), not the student.
So, if you're an Okie who went to Tulane Law School, you can call OU Law School and continue your studies there, space available. If you're an Okie who went to Tulane's School of Public Health and Tropical Diseases, though, you have no voice in whether or not you go to the OU School of Public Health.
And 500 students go "ARRRGH!!!"
The fuddrucker's thing is brilliant.
The thing I don't get is why did they think an overweight baby would be good for promotion?
Just talked to my dad. Official word is S&R teams, stay out for now. It's largely a fucking legal issue (which I understand, but ack! Also, they can't guarantee food and water for s&r, which also constrains them.) He's still on call, but since his group is largely wilderness, he doesn't expect to be called unless it is to search for bodies in the backwoods areas. ABQ urban S&R was called then told not to come after shots were reported fired.
It took the government long enough to call in the NG. Which should have happened eons ago. S&R won't go in until it is secured. Or they go in unauthorized, which is happening.

I saw that on the CNN ticker. It's so awful you have to start laughing, you know?

I think I love that guy.
Anyone watch the Hurricane Relief concert on NBC? Kanye West went off-script, said the slow response time was because most of the victims were poor and black, and closed with "George Bush doesn't care about black people."
Yeah, I saw that. Props to him for saying it, but I'm not sure his presentation or timing would convince people who didn't already agree.
It enlivened the show, anyhow.
