I think they just have maybe 2 helicopters and 5 boats total doing rescue. What in the clusterf**k is going on? I don't think they have hardly anyone rescuing.

Also people are complaining. They have not seen Red Cross, Fema, National Guard, not no one. What in the clusterf**k is going on here?

the rescue efforts.

3. That's just the lazy networks...
Once they have a bunch of stock shots they can use to fill up their segments, they just keep showing them over and over.

They are lazy, cheap, and for the most part, they just don't give a fuck.

Its all about them.

4. I don't think people understand
how difficult it is to get into that area right now. It's not like taking your jet ski out into a pretty lake and zipping along to the other side. I'm sure there are more helicopters that aren't filming what they're doing.

I know someone who works with civil engineers working closely with FEMA. It's her job to make travel arrangements for them. They told her yesterday that she should get some flights, hotel reservations, and car rentals for them to go see how certain structures held up or failed in N.O.

Yeah right! Just call up and rent a car! Then drive into Louisiana!
