I, for one, want to give a "shout out" to the people who stood in long [View All]

lines at the Superdome and to all the people of NO who evacuated in a relatively orderly fashion. Special shout to the people in the lines. I saw a few of them interviewed by Geraldo. They were good spirited, non-griping, and very positive. Contrary to some who have commented about the "kind" of people standing in line and despite the rather overreaching action of the Homeland Security forces causing the long, long lines because of personal searches of those waiting to get in to the dome, the people there seemed to be acting much more civil than most of politicians and TV pundits. I am worried about the safety of all those housed in the dome and I pray that they all get through this are able to re-build their lives after this terrible tragedy.

And no, I haven't heard a word from my family in NO. Scared shitless for them.
