It's been settled by journalists that Katrina was a "Republican"
hurricane, but I'm confused by what party affiliation Isaac is. When
it looked as if Isaac was going to devastate the GOP convention it was
going to be a "Democrat" hurricane, but then it veered off to New
Orleans so I'm confused now. Which party affiliation is Isaac, could
someone clarify?

Isn't the reason that the Isaac victims are not being helped is
because Louisana and Mississippi are a lock for Romney in the General
election? Democrats only give taxpayer money to who is going to vote
for them, no?

Equipment and supplies were dispatched to the gulf coast several days ago
BEFORE Isaac became a hurricane.

Bush did the same thing, and the Democrat media said that the only
thing the African-Americans had to eat was each other.
Don't you remember when Bush gave the blacks federal credit cards, and
the women maxed them out on Louis Vuitton handbags? They bought the
new ones when you can get a pre-owned Louis Vuitton's for $899.

I grew up in NOLA and was there back before hurricanes had names much
less only female names.
Me and mine were there before, during and following Katrina. Do you really
want me to address even a few of the details of the cluster f*?

The first hurricane was a man's name, George, in 1947. Naming them
after women didn't come until years later.

}The first hurricane was a man's name, . Naming them

Nice try but no cigar as the process was on and off (mostly women's names,
some by location name) depending on who was talking and their personal point
of reference that goes back to early in the 40's.
The 1947 hurricane that hammered the Mississippi Gulf Coast was called the "
'47 Hurricane" at least as far was the locals were concerned. I was there so
I'd appreciate it if you didn't try to tell me how it was 60+ years ago.
> Me and mine were there before, during and following Katrina. Do you really
> want me to address even a few of the details of the cluster f*?
}Yes, that would be nice. Thanks.
Short list:
FEMA claimed all surface access into NOLA was blocked which was partially
true. News folk got in the back way (the same route Lafitte, the pirate,
and the bootleggers of prohibition used). This was well used by a lot of
the locals, me and mine included.
Funny but it seems that FEMA nor the DoD knew of this route but was easily
found on Google maps and Google earth. I would expect that the government
had access to much much better sat technology than Google Earth. Perhaps I
should mention that the Coast Guard and the ATF knew about the route. Barry
Seal used it in his smuggling operations so the CIA was in on the secret.
8000 gallons of fresh water was within three miles of the Superdome. FEMA
sent the trucks back to Baton Rough. Drivers threatened with arrest if they
didn't comply. These trucks came down the west side of the river across the
Huey Long bridge (Bridge City) then along Jefferson Highway/Tchoupitoulas to
Canal. (see Lafitte above)
Barge/tow boat companies offered to bring in barge loads of water and
supplies to the foot to Canal. Offer declined.
Wal Mart Corp had something on the order of 20+ semi-trailers loaded with
relief supplies. FEMA would not allow them to enter NOLA.
In a previous hurricane Florida was covered up with supplies to the point
that gen sets went unused. Relief supplies were delivered to the people of
Florida the very next day.
Emergency MREs were delivered to Afghanistan from Germany within <24 hours
of need, yet apparently nothing could be moved from anywhere in the USA to
NOLA for weeks.
Navy helicopter and relief ships were on site for the earth quake/tsunami
relief in Indonesia with in one day. Military vessels to NOLA and the
Mississippi gulf coast were not dispatched until a week later.
FEMA troops were caught stealing diesel fuel and communications equipment
from Jefferson Parish Sheriff Department.
FEMA blocked the communications repair techs (for the police radio system)
from entering the city.
Coast guard helicopters were short of fuel which limited their ability to
respond (CG did a *fantastic* job regardless) but no tanker trucks nor tanker aircraft were dispatched to resupply fuel.
Private air boats had been allowed in previous emergencies to move survivors
from flooded areas but again not allowed by FEMA for Katrina.
FEMA's director (aka you're doing a good job Brownie) was more concerned
about what he was going to ware for his press conference than about problems
in the area. Regardless he was not aware that NOLA had flooded as by his
own words 'until he saw the flooding on TV'.
LSU had predicted the exact scenario years before. The study and input were ignored. The engineering company constructing some of the levees (I use that term broadly) that failed advised the COE (corp of engineers) of the potential problems and were told basically build to plan.
Bean counters (this was before Bush) made a cost/benefit call and built
levees to a Cat 3 rating. What's more the same standard was used in the
rebuild. So currently as long as NOLA gets a CAT 3 or lower it's in good
shape. But like the Mayor said last week anything more than a CAT 3 and all
bets are off.
Private security (aka Blackwater) had the run of the city basically
protecting corp interest.
Things did not get on track until LTG Russel (Don't Get Stuck on STUPID!)
Honore: started taking names and kicking ass.
The man was from S. Louisiana spoke the language (literally), knew the area,
the people and more so knew what was needed. I expect he'd seem his share of hurricanes as well.

FEMA is still a joke. When the floods hit here close to four years
ago, all FEMA did was have meetings with victims and handed out
checks.
Two and half years ago when central Arkansas got flooded a god friend
of mine that was a victim received a package from FEMA with "Flood
Recovery Kit" printed in big pretty letters across it.
The box contained a 5 gallon bucket, a mop and a half dozen pairs of
rubber gloves. That is no lie, I was there when he opened the thing.
And again FEMA primarily concerned itself with giving out checks.
Granted, the checks were needed and appreciated but they could have
done that without coming in and taking full authority and mismanaging
the hell out of the situation.
The idiots in charge are all about proper paperwork hence the blocking
of such voluntary acts of assistance after Katrina because of red
tape.
If you live down there then you remember "Camille".
The people of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana seemed to do a pretty
good job of dealing with that long before there was any such thing as
FEMA.

Remember it well (and more likely miss remembering most of it). Folk
cooperated and got things done. Mattered not
white/black/republican/democrat.
we had a summer home on near Bay St. Louis (knock on the back door front
door rattled). Nothing fancy but dry. Neighbor who had retired there lost
everything. My dad cleaned up our place, bought all new furniture and
appliances loaded the fridge and went to the where the neighbors were
'living' and handed them the key. The understanding was when your place is
fixed/replace return the key.
You might find this stroy interesting. Following Katrina FEMA came by the
home of one of our extended family members and wanted to give them a
trailer.
They said no thank you (they had gen sets and all the comforts of home).
they left to help some other family members and when they came home FEMA had
disconnect their power, water and sanitation and hooked up two trailers.
took about 3 hours to get things undone and redone. Next day they called FEMA and asked them to come pick up the trailers. Not possible as FEMA did not have a truck or driver.
That's ok we have the equipment where do you want these trailers dropped.
Long story short the FEMA troop said if the trailers were moved someone was
going to jail (implication that someone one was one of ours).
Did some checking and found out that FEMA had not registered the trailers as
required by LA law. The trailers were posted, notice filed at the court
house and in the local paper. On the 61st day the judge taped the bench and
we had the legal title to both trailers.
About 18 months later a FEMA truck showed up and started to hook up the
trailer. Local state trooper (next door neighbor) explained to the driver
that should he continue *he* (not FEMA) would be going to jail.
Long story short we now have a former FEMA trailer at the deer camp and one
at the fishing camp. Good for storage but not much else.

Being a government agency it is almost to be expected that the higher
ups would be bureaucrats that really don't know anything but paperwork
but yould think that somewhere in the chain down the line there would
be "troops on the ground" that actually knew what they were doing.
Not so with FEMA.
Wonder what the qualifications are to get a job with FEMA?
Being able to breathe and sign the back of your paycheck?

Of course, the locals back then hadn't yet been exposed to several

following “views” on race, homosexuality and killing government
officials and teenage girls:
"She (Katherine Harris) should be at least shot" -- Gary Roselles
What the fuck would a dumb cocksucker like (Distinguished African-
American Scholar, Thomas) Sowell, who sits out at Stanford, never
having worked a day in his Uncle Tom life, know anything?" -- Gary
Roselles
"He (African-American scholar Thomas Sowell) goes against his own
kind." Race loyalist Gary Roselles, insisting once again that “them
blacks” should "stick to their own kind"
"His appointment will bridge nothing. It's apparant he's being an
uncle tom to appease voters." -- White trash, racist asshole Gary
Roselles slurs African-American Hero General Colin Powell
"How does a pampered, Stanford based, Scaife funded, Uncle Tom make
judgements on "the bottom", McFly?" -- Another day, another racial
slur on an educated, successful, independent black man from Gary
