KING STILL MIA- WHAT THE????

HERE IT IS NOON DAY THREE OF AMERICA'S BIGGEST AND WORST NATURAL DISASTER, AND THE KING IS NOT
NOT YET AT THE DC CASTLE. MIA- STILL. HE IS NOT READY TO VIEW THE CATASTROPHE UNTIL FRIDAY BY AIR.
LAST SEEN IN CALIFORNIA- LOOKING PEEVISH AND PISSED GIVING HIS SPEECH ON SOME SHIP. HE WAS NOT A
TASK MEETINGS THIS AM. HE IS STILL NOT IN DC. WHERE IS HE? HE SHOULD NOT BE MIA AT A TIME LIKE THIS.
OH AND UNCLE DICK IS WHO KNOWS WHERE....DERELICTION OF DUTY.... INSTEAD OF GOLFING IN ARIZONA ON SATURDAY HE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN HIS HIND PARTS TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND STARTED MASS PLANNING ON THIS.
IT APPEARS THAT MR.CHERTOFF OF HOMELAND SECURITY AND MICHEAL BROWN OF FEMA ARE THE ONES DOING MOST OF THE COORDINATION AT THIS TIME.
WHERE IS THE KING ???- I AM SERIOUSLY WONDERING IS ON A BINGE- THIS IS INEXCUSABLE.

AGAIN :RED CROSS 1-800-HELP-NOW
SALVATION ARMY: 1-800-SAL-ARMY
CNN IS POSTING LOST OR MISSING

ALLIE'S UPDATE NOON WED.
(1) COLLABORATIVE TASK FORCE MEETINGS WERE HELD ALL MORNING IN DC TO COORDINATE THE RESCUE AND
RECOVERY EFFORTS.
(2) DEPT OF ENERGY HAS DEMANDED THAT EMERGENCY RESERVES OPEN- THE PRESIDENT HAS SUSPOSEDLY
AGREED- BUT NO ANNOUNCEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE BY ANYONE OFFICIAL. ( ALTHOUGH THE NEWS HAS ALREADY MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT). DOES ANYONE EVEN KNOW IF THE RESERVES WERE DAMAGED IN THE STORM SURGE- THE TANKS ARE IN LOUISIANA.
(3) HOUSTON ASTRODOME HAS BEEN CHOSEN TO MOVE ATLEAST 25,000 DOME REFUGEES FROM NEW ORLEANS.IT IS 350 MILES AWAY, THE LOGISTICS ARE STILL BEING WORKED OUT. BUS TRANSPORT IS BEING EXAMINED.
(4) 3500 GUARD ARE SUSPOSEDLY BEING SHIFTED TO NEW ORLEANS DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS, CHERTOFF HAS SIGNED SPECIAL HOMELAND SECURITY ORDERS SO THAT THE GUARD MAY PROVIDE SUPPORT TO LOCAL POLICE.
(5)CNN IS NOW POSTING MISSING- GO OR CALL THE "RELIEF BOARD" IF YOU NEED TO POST OR CHECK ON LOVED ONES.
THEY HAVE NOT SET UP PHONE LINE YET- I WILL POST WHEN IT IS UP.
(6) AIRPORT IN NEW ORLEANS HAS REOPENED FOR EMERGENCY FLIGHTS ONLY ( I WONDER IF ANY OF THE ILL OF INFIRMED COULD BE MOBED VIA C-5'S OVER TO HOUSTON).
(7) MISSISSIPPI HAS RAISED THEIR DEATH COUNT TO 110 PEOPLE SO FAR...
(8) NEW ORLEANS STILL HAS SPENT THE PAST 24 HOURS DEBATING THE BREACH SITUATION WITH ARMY CORP OF ENGINEERS.
(9) THE NAVY IS STILL SENDING FOUR SHIPS AND THE "COMFORT" THE MEDICAL RELIEF SHIP IS ON THE WAY AS WELL.
(10) FEMA HAS DIRECTED ALL OF ITS' RESOURCES TO THE AREA- AND IS CONSIDERING ALL OPTIONS FOR CARING THE CITIZENS/REFUGEES OF THE GULF.INCLUDING USING FLOATING CENTERS, CRUISE SHIPS. ( MAYBE THEY SHOULD LOOK INTO THE NORTHUP GRUMAN SHIPS THAT WERE JUST COMPLETED IN LOUISIANA AND ARE UNDAMAGED, PERHAPS THEY COULD BE UTILIZED FOR RELIEF JUST A THOUGHT .....ALSO MAYBE THE BRAC LIST SHOULD BE EXAMINED FOR VIABLE LONGTERM OPTIONS.
(11) LAST BUT NOT LEAST- I HAVE A POINT ( OK- RANT) TO CONSIDER MAYBE THE FEDS SHOULD WHIP OUT FDR'S OLD PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS AND PLANS- THERE WILL NEED TO BE HUGE PROJECTS PUT IN PLACE TO REPLACE INFRASTRUCTURE, ESP. REGARDING THE ROADS, THE LEVEES AND PUMPS. AND SINCE THIS WOULD ALSO BE A SOURCE OF JOBS , THAT WOULD EASE THE HIGH POVERTY RATE IN THIS REGION (RANGING FROM 23-30 % IN THIS GULF COASTAL REGION), IT WOULD ALSO PROVIDE HOPE.
ALSO THERE COULD BE /WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE FEDS TO SET UP REGIONAL HEALTHCARE FOR 1000'S THAT WILL BE HOMELESS AND JOBLESS, TRULY REFUGEES THAT WILL NEED HEALTH CARE MON ITORING ESP. AFTER SUCH AN EVENT. MANY WERE IMPOVERISHED TO BEGIN WITH.MANY WERE ALSO RETIRED LIVING ON THE COAST- THEIR NEEDS WILL NEED TO BE MET.
FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN MAYBE CLOSED DOWN SCHOOLS IN THE NORTHERN PARTS OF THE EFFECTED STATES COULD BE EXAMINED TO PROVIDE HOUSING AS WELL AS SCHOOL. IT WILL BE IMPORTANT TO KEEP THESE FAMILIES TOGETHER, AND AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO SUPPLY A VIABLE LONGTERM OPTION.
ALL OF THIS WILL REQUIRE THINKING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX, CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING AND CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT.NO HALLIBURTON SPECIAL GIFT PROJECTS- GOT IT GEORGE?!
MORE UPDATES IN THREE HOURS.
