The ****ing idjit mayor of Galveston...
   
The Texas Department of Transportation said today that relief workers were having trouble entering Galveston because Interstate 45 was blocked by residents trying to return home.

"Our resources are not able to get through," said TxDOT spokeswoman Raquelle Lewis. "We have National Guard sitting in traffic, we have our crews sitting in traffic, we have FEMA resources sitting in traffic."

Shortly before noon, the line of cars stretched two miles north from a checkpoint at Texas 519 in La Marque, where non-essential traffic was being diverted, Lewis said.

The flood apparently was prompted when Mayor Lyda Ann Thomas made an exception to the ban on entering Galveston, she said. Those who can prove residency may make a "look and leave" visit to the island from noon to 6 p.m. to inspect damage to their homes, but must leave afterward, Lewis said.

There is no reason anybody except relief workers should be entering Galveston right now. What a mess.

26. This is bull. They were in the projected cone. NO ONE knows exactly where a hurricane is going to land.

I am not impressed with Miss Small Town Mayor. She sure is no Mayor White in a skirt.

4. Lyda Ann Thomas - remember the name
   
She may run as a Republican VP candidate in, say 2016.

Democrat mayor of a small town of 60,000 people.

As their childish hopes for a political hit dissolve into nothing.

One would think that the super-intelligent among us would know how to use a computer and that thing called Google.

.....would know how to use.....that thing called Google.

Hey.

I resemble that remark.

I`m guessing that Google checks with Frank to be sure they are accurate.

Actually--this is an old story, I've told it before--one time I Googled to find the distance between a residential address in Elgin, Illinois, and the old Illinois State Pentitentiary in Joliet, and I ended up spending half the afternoon reading about land laws of Scotland during the 1600s.

I finally hauled out the atlas to find what I wanted,

DUmmies have been slandering this mayor for the past couple of days, because when they hear "mayor" they think "Palin".
That is likely to taper off now.

Nah, it had something to do with Fat Che, but I disremember what.

Ha!  I read the Little Goon thread.  After it is discovered the mayor of Galveston is a democrat, they change their focus of hate/misinformation/lies to the mayor of Houston.  Then they find out the mayor of Houston is a democrat.  Another shift takes place to focus on Gov. Perry and FEMA; FEMA being who they where defending in the beginning of the thread.
