Parker has an updated, new diary about the levee breaches and a flood of water pouring back into New Orleans.
Yahoo’s front-page stories are about Rita roaring towards the coast, the flooding of New Orleans, and the horrific death of 24 people in a bus on the Houston freeway. (Alohaleezy — aka SoCal Skywatcher — has written a bonafide rant on “the horror of piss poor planning [that] hits on the highway where at least 24 seniors lost their lives in a bus fire along the side of the road.”)
What have you heard? What’s going on? (I overslept, which is good because I have a cold and was tired.)
Update [2005-9-23 12:16:37 by susanhu]: Darrin Kagin (Spelling? Is she the CNN anchor who’s dating Rush? Yesterday a.m., she talked like a Nazi stormtrooper to a couple in Galveston who’d finally given up on staying. She told them, “About time you got some common sense.” And more. She let them have it.) on CNN just asked Susanne Malveaux about the weekend protest — and Cindy Sheehan coming to D.C.
Malveaux said Bush would stay out of town to avoid the demonstration. Susan T tells me that “she won’t be hard to find at the march since Malveaux also said that ‘hundreds, perhaps thousands are expected to participate‘.” (I’m just glad they’re talking about it. I’ve been worried it’d be off their radar entirely.) Update [2005-9-23 13:30:4 by susanhu]: Susan T — taking a bus from Michigan to D.C. — also says that C-SPAN will cover the demonstration.
