Someone on CNN was talking about the bussing to the Astrodome and said that anyone not from the Superdome showing up at the shelter would be turned away. Yeah, because all the other homeless and starving that might not even have made it as far as the Superdome, or got out of town and are now homeless, they don't need help too. /sarcasm. Not that I'm not grateful to FEMA and Houston for arranging better shelter than the Hell Hole they're in now... Too bad they couldn't have thought of it a few days sooner. >:o(
I'm so sick of all the news agencies making sure to mention that Dubya had to cut his vacation short a few days. Because that's the biggest tragedy right now. Sheesh!
I'll admit I was unaware of the full situation in NOLA (and the other coastal areas hit hard) before the hurricane. It simply didn't occur to me that there'd be so many people unable to get out (at least in part because none of the news agencies thought to mention it or be at all worried). Thanks to you and many others for setting things straight.
Oh, and the German Red Cross is standing by, waiting for us to request help. HELLO!! This is us, REQUESTING HELP! ::headdesk::
