Jamiam77 (10:48:09 AM): wow
Jamiam77 (10:48:47 AM): acation is Over... an open letter from Michael Moore to George W. Bush Friday, September 2nd, 2005 Dear Mr. Bush: Any idea where all our helicopters are? It's Day 5 of Hurricane Katrina and thousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be airlifted. Where on earth could you have misplaced all our military choppers? Do you need help finding them? I once lost my car in a Sears parking lot. Man, was that a drag. Also, any idea where all our national guard soldiers are? We could really use them right now for the type of thing they signed up to do like helping with national disasters. How come they weren't there to begin with?
Jamiam77 (10:49:44 AM): Last Thursday I was in south Florida and sat outside while the eye of Hurricane Katrina passed over my head. It was only a Category 1 then but it was pretty nasty. Eleven people died and, as of today, there were still homes without power. That night the weatherman said this storm was on its way to New Orleans. That was Thursday! Did anybody tell you? I know you didn't want to interrupt your vacation and I know how you don't like to get bad news. Plus, you had fundraisers to go to and mothers of dead soldiers to ignore and smear. You sure showed her! I especially like how, the day after the hurricane, instead of flying to Louisiana, you flew to San Diego to party with your business peeps. Don't let people criticize you for this -- after all, the hurricane was over and what the heck could you do, put your finger in the dike? And don't listen to those who, in the coming days, will reveal how you specifically reduced the Army Corps of Engineers' budget for New Orleans this summer for the third year in a row. You just tell them that even if you hadn't cut the money to fix those levees, there weren't going to be any Army engineers to fix them anyway because you had a much more important construction job for them -- BUILDING DEMOCRACY IN IRAQ!
noapologeze (10:50:50 AM): they have resorted to send actual ARMY service men down there, as Marshal Law men, my bro is down there
Jamiam77 (10:51:05 AM): damn
noapologeze (10:51:48 AM): the New Orleans Police have begun to turn in their badges and weapons, because they know they are out manned and out weaponed down there, they said its about survival
Jamiam77 (10:52:07 AM): i heard police just didn't show up for work
Jamiam77 (10:52:14 AM): now their turning in badges wow
noapologeze (10:52:22 AM): yup
noapologeze (10:52:25 AM): sad
Jamiam77 (10:52:43 AM): i never recalled louisiana being in any of those end time prophecies
Jamiam77 (10:54:02 AM): this man is crazy ....No, Mr. Bush, you just stay the course. It's not your fault that 30 percent of New Orleans lives in poverty or that tens of thousands had no transportation to get out of town. C'mon, they're black! I mean, it's not like this happened to Kennebunkport. Can you imagine leaving white people on their roofs for five days? Don't make me laugh! Race has nothing -- NOTHING -- to do with this! You hang in there, Mr. Bush. Just try to find a few of our Army helicopters and send them there. Pretend the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast are near Tikrit. Yours, Michael Moore
noapologeze (10:54:10 AM): its a modern day soddom and gomorrah
Jamiam77 (10:58:39 AM): is this woman serious We're appalled," said Jill Johnson, 53, of Saskatoon. "This city is built on tourism and we're their last priority."
Jamiam77 (10:59:03 AM): they took the tour buses sent down for tourist and then kicked them out of the hotels
Jamiam77 (10:59:24 AM): and this guy says.. "I grew up in an upper-middle class family. Street life is foreign to me," said Larry Mitzel, 53, of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. "I'm not sure I'm going to get out of here alive."
