Oh, now Texas is too small
Texas is now officially not allowed to make any more jokes about her size. Not since Texas Governor Rick Perry warned today that "his enormous state was running out of room, with more than 220,000 hurricane refugees camped out there and more coming."
Um. Sorry. But no. Not that other states should not do their share (and YAY Indiana! for taking many of the refugees). But I THINK all y'all in Texas have enough room to help all the people who are sent there.
At least the Superdome and convention center are finally evacuated. But so many died there who did not need to, who thought they were going where there was help and safety awaiting them.
I hope the media interest does not die down just because the people are now evacuated. There needs to be a stink so that those "responsible" (or who should have been) will be held accountable, and to ensure that something like this does not happen again, EVER.

Oh, geez. Those dear people are out of those cesspools, but they're still homeless, and I haven't heard a hint of a plan for a long-term solution. Over a quarter of a million homeless people, shipped out of NO, but now what? God help us, help them.
Not kidding at all, mrtl. Did you follow the link?
Susie, I know. and I'm concerned that the coverage has slowed considerably. This is not over, not by a long shot, and these people need the media to be a voice for them.
Lets just stick a whole bunch of people out in Crawford... :)
