Country Stars Lash Out in Anger Over Conditions in Storm-Ravaged States

Two less Bush supporters...

At least Bush will be saving taxpayers on his Celebrity dinners with less and less attendance

Good for them. I love Faith Hill.

Hill, who grew up in Jackson, Miss., echoed those sentiments. So overwhelmed, she uncharacteristically unleashed an epithet, calling the situation, "Bull- - - -"

Damn!|shocking|

While I'm not big on celebrities using important causes as a soapbox, they are absolutely right. Seven months later, thousands of people are still living in tents. Not only are people without homes, but in the areas where residents are able to return, there is no infrastructure including schools. Those returning are unable to rebuild, because the gov has not yet decided how high houses must be built to withstand the next flood that happens.
There is way too much government involved. Empower the ones on the ground so that they can get on and get things moving, and move these poor people out of the purgatory that they are stuck in. Get those trailers out of Hope Arkansas and move them to MS & LA where they can be used. Finally, somebody please relocate Nagin, so that something constructive can be done, beyond ensuring his personal pension plan.

That is old news. In my opinion, they can STFU. My State's leaders are working closely with the federal government and are making much progress in rebuilding the beautiful Mississippi Gulf Coast. As far as Louisiana, they are still in the planning stage. Planning the best way to milk the system for all that is possible for their personal gain. But, that is just the Louisiana way.

If Jessie Jackson's plan to hand out absentee ballots to every black in America, Ray Baby will probably move to Houston, TX and run for mayor there.

That's impossible. Dubya has always maintained that big government is the what the other party does. Since Dubya has a direct line with Jesus it's impossible for him to lie.

Aren't you listening to Fox News?

I have to agree. After 7 months there should be a hell of a lot more progress than there is.

Garbage should all be gone by now. A decision should have been made a long time ago exactly where you can build and where you can't build. People should not be living in tents after 7 months. People there need basic necessities and they need jobs. Someone who actually KNOWS what the hell they are doing should be put in charge in the area and be allowed to get things in order without having to jump through any red tape. It is embarassing, it really is.

And now the US Atty Gen wants to take the Sheriff in Miss. down for taking over two trucks of ice for the people in his city because the trucks were just sitting (FEMA trucks) with the ice melting - but he had to handcuff a Natl Guard soldier to get the trucks

- and of course there are thousands of RV trailers sitting here in Miss with no one in them because FEMA is so tied up in red tape they cant get the homeless into them

While we didn't get hit as bad as Mississippi and Louisiana, I can tell you that the balls have been dropped down here in Florida's Keys too. About the only 'affordable housing' for the entire service industry here is mobile homes, or at best, a very small, ground level, 'conch style' rental house. Anything ground level was flooded with several feet of water. Probably half the people in those kinds of places lost their homes. There's not enough vacant land to put new trailers for everyone, and most places have still not been rebuilt. Lots of people have left, and more are leaving almost every day.

If I didn't know better, I'd think it was a plan to get the middle and lower class out so they can continue developing these islands as a haven only for the wealthy. But...they wouldn't really do that... would they?
