Authorities in New Orleans ordered hundreds of thousands of residents to flee on Sunday as Hurricane
Katrina strengthened into a rare top-ranked storm and barreled toward the vulnerable U.S. Gulf Coast
city. Katrina grew into a Category 5 hurricane on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale by 7:05 a.m. EDT
(1105 GMT), with winds of 160 mph (260 kph) capable of causing catastrophic damage. REUTERS/Rick

the White House by U.S. Park Police during a protest in Washington September 26, 2005. Sheehan, whose
vigil outside President George W. Bush's Texas ranch focused attention on the anti-war movement, was
arrested on Monday in a sit-in at the White House after refusing to obey police orders to leave.

Demonstrators carry placards in front of a building near the White House demanding that U.S.
President George W. Bush fire his top political aide Karl Rove July 19, 2005. Bush on Tuesday
sidestepped a question about whether his top adviser Rove offered to resign over the leaking of a
covert CIA operative's identity and said he would deal with the issue when an investigation into the
case was over. As controversy over the matter heated up in recent weeks, the White House has refused
to answer questions about Rove, who is credited with being the architect of the president's election
victories. REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque PICTURES OF THE YEAR 2005

I just grabbed some that they had named - that one didn't make their list.

Ben Made It Back From Iraq ALIVE!

:hi:

I'm SO happy for you both:)No need to tell YOU to have a Happy Holiday!


He's a good looking young man Binka, is he married? I have a beautiful, single daughter;)

Here He Is With The Mamasittas (REALLY dumb girls BTW they are a suck ass band)



Here He Is With His Brother Ian Age 19

Hugs to you both!

really did bring happy tears to my eyes!!! :loveya:

What a rough patch that was. That picture was taken in Germany the afternoon he flew to Bethesda. It was 8 days after he was blown to shit. Man am I lucky! :loveya:

Ben almost makes me wish I was *cough* 15 years younger. And I seriously suspect that Peyton is your clone. What a sweet-faced gorgeous little girl. :)

The other day Peyton saw Bush on TV and She said " Mom why is that asshole on my TV again?"

Don't forget my girl Callie. This is what Peyton will look like when she is 22!

About a million times, I bet. Your family is so gorgeous, but the main thing is that they all seem so sweet. You can see it in their eyes, in their smiles. Binka, you are such a lucky woman, and I know you worked hard and loved with every ounce of your being for every bit of that luck.

Many blessings to you and your family.

I'm so happy that your son is home safe and sound! It's hard to imagine the pain you've endured after first learning of his injury, enjoy and celebrate.

for the whole range of dementia in this country.

Let me out of the asylum!

Fake christian expresses fake outrage to get her picture taken.

I do believe the second picture is of Toulouse Street near the corner of Decatur and the young lady is heading for the River. (Any sharp eyed New Orleanians, jump in and correct me.)

Does anybody know if she's even in the running? I can't think of any single person who had a greater effect on politics this year.

:thumbsup:

The most vivid and compelling slideshow I have seen yet depicting the human misery left by Katrina. Exceptionally well done. Has pix from a variety of sources.

These pictures are heartbreaking - the tragedy is almost too overwhelming in scope to absorb. I've seen many pics but this is the best collection that captures the magnitude of misery left by Katrina. These leave you feeling sick in the stomach - the people in the gulf were criminally neglected by the government before, during and after the hurricane.

Those pictures alone speak louder than words - I'd love to force our grand boyking to look at each and everyone. Unfortunately, it probably would not affect him at all.

My favorite is #56. What the hell was going on there??

I'd vote it onto the Greatest Page. This is an incredibly moving collection of photos.

I had nothing to do with the pics or the website. I followed a couple of Katrina links and ran across it. The pics were so overpowering and the slideshow was so well done I had to share with DU.

how ironic

Can anyone be that dumb? :crazy:
