Except earlier today, CNN had a woman on the phone asking for help and then they called her a second time and she said the NG finally arrived. It's like they did the blackout once Bush arrived to save everything even though we all know there are still hundres maybe thousands of people dying trapped in their homes or on the streets.

3. Everything happened right on cue
Remember the sandbags that were supposed to be dropped 3 or 4 days ago and weren't? Well today just as * shows up, NOW they have dramatic video of the sandbags being dropped. They're obviously trying to control the news out of NOLA.

4. Count the numbers of days without water...
there are going to be less people around to plea. That's the first disturbing reality. The next is that this admin. are probably near threatening these news stations at this point because the uproar against them. After that, a Rove manouver most likely is occuring that they show every repub face to take time over the airwaves away from the REALITY.....

Just a few guesses.

5. None of that really happened. It was your imagination.
Nothing to see here. Move along. Everything is wonderful and everybody's fine. Extra Soma in tonight's dinner ration.

7. There may not be many more to film --- people without water are dead
or dying now.

No way these monstrous killers will allow the citizens or the world to see any more of this than they can help.

9. Yes, Karl Rove put word out to the the blackout.
He saw what was happening. The American people were livid with the slow response of our government.
