There is no emergency to manage in Austin,

Houston
Oh, yeah, my kids have told me about Sugarland and Ft. Bend County as well as the entire Houston metroplex. I lived and my kids grew up in the I-40, Barker-Cypress area. They say now that that area is pretty much a slum. My daughter lives in Tomball and my son in Magnolia. The poster who posted about Houston must have been speaking of Houston, Missouri or something, certainly not Houston, Texas, that my kids tell me about or that I see when I visit. My son is a plumbing superintendent. As such he is all over Houston and the surrounding areas and he says there is not one area of Houston where he would raise his family unless he could afford River Oaks, which I don't believe a plumber's salary would allow. LOL
I now live in Cane Hill, Arkansas, population maybe 70. LOL Even in this small farming community we've had 2 murders in the past year, both committed by illegals. Not to even mention what goes on in the surrounding area. Right now there is a trial going on in Washington County (our area). Three illegals shot and killed a man and his son while they were driving down the highway for no reason other than one of them dared the shooter to do it. You're 100% correct. Immigration isn't the problem, invasion is.
Where do you live? Email me if you want. I also have a website if you want to check it out: http://www.ozarkmountainmemories.com
The last time I looked he was in Houston at...
the emergency management center. When did he go to New Orleans? Not being smart, hadn't heard that.
He said that is why he did not go last time...exactly what you just said. And now he goes, ...and you criticize him.
Serious question...why is that? Don't want to fight, just want to know.
FYI, Halliburton and KBR are headquartered in Houston Texas
the "ties" between the Bush Family and Halliburton and KBR are legendary down in the Lone Star and go back generations. W's Uncle Prescott was director at Dresser Industries, which is now part of Halliburton. HW Bush worked there as well 1948-1951. KBR was embroiled in the W administration controversy surrounding the cimcumvention of normal contractor hiring protocol for Iraq. You must have a really short attention span.
Ike turns aim on Galveston-Houston Metroplex with 5 million on
Is there something wrong with this picture, or is it just me? BTW, I live in the bullseye.
You did manage to get 1 thing right....(sm)
You do know YOUR history of the region.
Can you manage to squeeze in one more topic? ....
.
Exactly...well, they did manage to write and get passed...
one piece of legislation...the "reform" bill that was supposed to straighten out Fannie/Freddie...instead was the straw that broke the camel's back...forced them to offer those floating rate mortgages to low and moderate income people and the creditworthiness of said people was not to be an issue. The floating rates went UP, and a bazillion people went into foreclosure, and if the Bush admin had not stepped in and taken over, the economy could very well have collapsed. The "reform" bill, plus the crooked Dems at the top of Fannie/Freddie, just about did us in this time. Other than that piece of legislation, they have not done a blessed thing in the year they have been in charge. That is why their approval rating is in the tank.
Well, if we can manage to fend off the pirates....
...in Washington, maybe we can get to the pirates in Somalia next.
Very well said Sam. You always manage to back your posts with facts. sm
I have used some of the links that you have posted to help me put things in perspective. Keep up the good work.
AND DON'T LEAVE THE BOARD!

Excuse me? Failure of emergency response

Do you know that emergency rooms are not for regular healthcare?

The emergency management center in Austin oversees...
the whole south and southwest. reactionary posting does not become you.
I have been wondering when Bush is going to announce an economic emergency. sm
I have been trying to draw people into discussing the economy. People do not respond. I do not know if it is denial or they do not understand.
Do you know that emergency rooms are for emergencies and not regular healthcare?

Democratic Parishes excluded in Bush's pre-Katrina emergency declaration
(Transform the formerly poor parishes in Louisiana into rich, gated parishes and which political party do YOU think will emerge? Maybe the REAL reason for Cheney's leg surgery was so he could do better rain dances in poverty stricken areas of the U.S. before the 2005 hurricane season is over.)

Democratic Parishes excluded in Bush's pre-Katrina emergency declaration
The southern parishes (counties) in Louisiana are heavily Democrat counties, while the counties named in Bush's emergency declaration tend to vote Republican
From the Whitehouse website, posted August 27
Statement on Federal Emergency Assistance for Louisiana
The President today declared an emergency exists in the State of Louisiana and ordered Federal aid to supplement state and local response efforts in the parishes located in the path of Hurricane Katrina beginning on August 26, 2005, and continuing.
The President's action authorizes the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to coordinate all disaster relief efforts which have the purpose of alleviating the hardship and suffering caused by the emergency on the local population, and to provide appropriate assistance for required emergency measures, authorized under Title V of the Stafford Act, to save lives, protect property and public health and safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in the parishes of Allen, Avoyelles, Beauregard, Bienville, Bossier, Caddo, Caldwell, Claiborne, Catahoula, Concordia, De Soto, East Baton Rouge, East Carroll, East Feliciana, Evangeline, Franklin, Grant, Jackson, LaSalle, Lincoln, Livingston, Madison, Morehouse, Natchitoches, Pointe Coupee, Ouachita, Rapides, Red River, Richland, Sabine, St. Helena, St. Landry, Tensas, Union, Vernon, Webster, West Carroll, West Feliciana, and Winn.
Specifically, FEMA is authorized to identify, mobilize, and provide at its discretion, equipment and resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the emergency. Debris removal and emergency protective measures, including direct Federal assistance, will be provided at 75 percent Federal funding.
Representing FEMA, Michael D. Brown, Under Secretary for Emergency Preparedness and Response, Department of Homeland Security, named William Lokey as the Federal Coordinating Officer for Federal recovery operations in the affected area.
