Not a bad response. If you think about it, rescue workers being shot at is pretty pathetic. As for getting water to those who need it, I agree. So do 40,000 National Guardsman headed that direction.

And, I know this is not politically correct, but the majority of those stuck there elected to "ride it out". I was listening to a Saturday talk radio show on my way back from a golf tournament, and they were interviewing people in New Orleans, and literally every person interviewed was looking forward to this as a party.

I was actually yelling at the radio about these people, because the news reports were, at that point, predicting a category 5 storm.
