I am pissed that these simple solutions are not an option for what ever reason.
I am pissed that it seems to be ok to complain about the situation but not do anything.
I am pissed that this hurricaine has caused so much devistation and we have little to no resources to assist these people.
im pissed i cant do anything from where i stand.
All our piss is not in vain because it really pisses off Timber, lash and other Bush chauvinists.
Sorry about that, couldn't help myself---I'm so pissed.

Doesn't piss me off--it's just evidence that reality doesn't play even a supporting role in your fantasy world.
If this had happened during Clinton's watch, I'd step away from anyone crazy or desperate enough to try to blame it on him--and to his credit, he acknowledges Bush has no culpability in this-- It's just psychotic that he'd even need to say such a thing. Looks like the libs are floating on a raft in an Ocean of Piss--drifting further and further away from sanity.

Actually from my listening to the MSM over the weekend pre-storm landing, that was the main topic of discussion.

Lash, in case you hadn't noticed, Bill Clinton has not been president since 2000, but that doesn't seem to stop you, a chauvinist, from throwing out Clinton's name in blame everytime someone makes a comment about Bush.
Definition of a chauvinist: Chauvinism is extreme and unreasoning partisanship on behalf of a group to which one belongs, especially when the partisanship includes malice and hatred towards a rival group. The term is derived from Nicolas Chauvin, a soldier under Napoleon Bonaparte, due to his fanatical zeal for his Emperor.
chauvinism--extreme and unreasoning partisanship -- includes malice and hatred towards a rival group LOL!!
Here's one for you.
Transference --is a phenomenon in psychology characterized by unconscious redirection of feelings from one person to another.
Wipe that spittle from your face and put on the white jacket, please.
The USA has finally become a third world country, totally incapable of helping itself in an emergency. Shewolf is absolutely right -- someone should do SOMETHING. Greyhound buses? I'm sure Greyhound would gladly turn its buses over for rescue work. But there are already reports of empty buses whizzing past points where people have congregated, not picking up anyone. Nobody seems to know what they're for or where they're going. A Dutch reporter, interviewed on NPR, said he was appalled at what he saw as the total disorganization of any would-be rescue efforts. In the Netherlands, he said, which is a country that, like New Orleans, is mostly below sea level, dams, dikes and levees burst occasionally. There are rescue operation plans in place which can then be immediately implemented. Nothing is in place here. An American reporter, who had also covered rescue efforts in both Kosovo and Somalia, said he had never seen this level of incompetence in any other country during an emergency.
Should we call on the UN to send in peace-keeping troops to quell the looting? Should we ask France and Germany to air-drop emergency food and water? Cuba's not too far away from that trouble spot; maybe we should appeal to Castro for help. Obviously, we -- the world's only superpower -- are clueless as to how to deal with this. Where are the Navy ships that did so much for the survivors after the SE Asia tsunami just a heartbeat ago? Everyone is talking about the Natonal Guard. Where are the Federal troops?
This whole situation is completely beyond belief. I also heard an interview with the new chief of Homeland Security whose name escapes me now. He semed to have his head firmly buried in the sand, ostrich-like. The man is in deep denial, failing to even acknowledge that there is a screw-up of such massive proprtions that it threatens to make us the laughing-stock of the world. America to the rescue! Right now America can't even wipe its own ass.
Joining the pissed off with simple solutions.
2 words - ships/helicopters!
Carry on.

You go girl ;-)
You guys are my hero's :-D
Wait a minute Merry Andrew...are you telling me that we weren't the laughing-stock of the world the minute we elected that jarhead dipshit GWBush to a second term as President?
What do you mean, we? You didn't actually vote for the fool, did you? <shock>
Of course not. My streak of voting for the loser in every election is still in tact.
I meant "we" as in "America".

Ah, Montana, what we women go through to birth babes for men who aren't up to the task.

I know it. What the hell did we ever do to deserve all these hormonal changes throughout our lives?
Well, it's a good thing it was us, because god knows men wouldn't survive it ;-)

A friend of mine mentioned something that sparked another idea on how to solve the problems in New Orleans. We get a giant speaker system and start pumping in the song "Walkin' on Sunshine", by Katrina and the Waves. This will, hopefully quell the violence...well, probably not, but at least Katrina and the Waves would be remembered for the great one-hit-wonder that they are.
<stops, waits for thunderous applause>
In keeping with the notion that every cloud has a silver lining...
...we now know what would happen if terrorists were able to devastate a major city like New York or New Orleans with absolutely no warning whatever.
Ahhh...
...on second thought that may not be a silver lining at all.
