I have been drinking in honor of you all day! Even if I didn't know it until now.

I'm on it.

I'l like to be dancing.

Thanks for posting that.

Agreed. Guy ← Are you seriously agreeing that they should be "tried"? Not sure if there are laws for criminal negligence. Guy ← In order to be consistent you would have put a whole lot of government folks on trial, the mayor and governor included. Chertoff is in way over his head, but is sure appears many local politcians are as well. You won't find me defending Bush on this either. ← The Feds are the ones with the resources ostensibly to handle this and therefore far more culpable, IMO. Did you happen to see the Free Republic post that actually defends the mayor? It's been floating around... I'll try to find it and re-post here. And for those who want to compare him to Giuliani--this is far, far worse than 9/11. ← I did not see the it, but would like to. You are correct about the Feds. They are the ones that have to clean up the mess. Still, it does not excuse the fact that the mayor did not do enough to facilitate an evacuation. I saw it reported that he did not deploy buses and other governement vehicles to assist those who did not have personal transportation. The Gorvernor fucked up as well. In a Molly Ivins article I read that she failed to call up for duty several thousand National Guard members prior to the hurricane hitting. That may have made a difference, no? I give Nagin credit for speaking out so frankly the other day, but it does not change the fact he is/was part of the problem. Honestly this whole blame thing is just getting ridiculous. Everyone is trying to cover their own asses. Right now it is time for Bush and all the other politicians to put up or shut up.

Looks like I'm late to the party. For what it's worth, I love Fantasy, plain and simple. I join those in hoping the catalog stays around.

Downsize and or eliminate a government agency, hell yes.

I have nothing but good things to day about Dell flat panel monitors. They are much less expensive than the Apple monitors and have received glowing reviews. I have 2 19 inchers side by side at work and they are great. I'm a Mac guy who usually shys away from Dell, but in this case, they have a great product! Dell 1905FP ← I had the same Dell in my office. I liked it very much. At home I have a Xerox 17". Some info... 17" TFT active-matrix LCD screen 1280 x 1024 maximum resolution at 75Hz 0.264mm dot pitch I bought it at Best Buy last December and paid just under $300 for it.

What if we only add the hootchie dancers? ← That would be my recommendation. Hootchie dancers for sure, even if for only the NYC gig.

I'm glad your sisters are safe. Things in Baton Rouge sound bad.

A positive story I didn't see until today. My apologies if it was already posted. Thousands Send Donations for Storm Victims

Agreed! ← Agreed and agreed.

Good questions. It's not as easy as just getting trucks and busses in the area. The place is covered in water and that means boats and helicopters are needed. That makes it a much more difficult task.

I'd like to see that statement backed up. I doubt they are even close to the top.

I didn't ditch the Blue Note theme until I packed up my computer from the office.

I'm very glad to know your family is safe. I hope the same for Minew.

See avatar.

Fuck! The least expensive I see now is about $3.39.

Getting the trailer in and around NYC is the easy part. Parking is going to be the issue.

Orange or grape?

This is very exciting.

In the meantime you guys decide which one of you will be buying me beer.

I saw regular unleaded priced at $3.35 in New Rochelle today. It's still about $2.75 down the street from me.

Hell yes!! I will be there.
