Today during a special session of Congress legislation was passed and immediately signed by President Bush that demotes the former State of Louisiana to federal territory status. During the response to Hurricane Katrina, the local government left almost 500 buses unused, waited an additional 24 hours to order evacuation while President Bush begged them to get the people out, and over 2/3rds of the New Orleans Police Department abandoned their jobs and left the city in chaos.…

Silas, putting useful info under this particular post will drive more traffic to it. I hope you'll do that favor for some other, more deserving author, so I can join you in discussing the information. If you post your information here I will not be able to help you promote it.
Message received Victor. Stay tuned. I am digging up some very interesting stuff.
Louisiana should be annexed to another state like Texas or Alabama. The state has a huge history of corruption.
I almost agree with you Anthony. I think CT and RI should merge. Other merges that I support are: Mississippi & Alabama; Louisiana & Missouri; North & South Dakota; Montana & Idaho; and, finally Cuba & Florida.

I would never support the merge of CT and RI. have you totally lost it? CT is by far a more powerful state. We would be burdoned by the annexation of RI. typical leftist...offering ideas, with no real solutions

After the [Loma Prieta???]earthquake of 1989, some people remembered that calls to the Feds in Big Block were not returned nor info input app't scheduled prior to the massive shake. Then, the ATMS were cash dispensers, not FBI linked. And, the 'new' bus maps were near-duplicates of outright wrong 1907 versions.
Maybe New Orleans FBI has also failed to respond when offered urgent input-- believing that direct input to agents is a 'federalist' category of info transfer.
That some Federal offices are housing simple status-seekers gives reason to consider demotion -- not of the terri-tory, but of the personnel.
