Trust FEMA? NEVER!

I was so sad to hear that George Carlin had died! I thought he was just so extremely funny!! He will definitely be missed! My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Is this flooding ever going to end? I feel so sorry for these people! They were told that they were safe with these levees and then they failed. Now they have nothing and probably most of their insurance won't cover the damage! I just hope that the Mississippi crests soon and no more levees fail.

I can not believe that the army is letting people get out of serving the country to go and play sports! That is ridiculous!! Especially seeing that we all payed for their college and now they will get to go and make major bucks on our dime! They should be made to pay back every dime it cost to send them through school!!

No one is to blame for the people of Gulfport dropping their flood insurance except themselves. When you live on the Mississippi you have to have flood insurance. I live 45 miles from the Miss. Every year all we hear about is how high the river is. It is never a matter of if the river will flood areas. It is a matter of when.............

Happy Monday Anderson, hope your weekend was swell, I was sorry to hear about George Carlin, may he rest in peace. Have a great day! Look forward to your show tonight.

I was saddened to hear of George Carlin's death. He was so funny every time I saw him (live or on the screen). He was raw, brutally honest, cynical, and didn't care who he offended. It was so refreshing in this age of political correctness. He was a pretty decent actor as well. I will miss his brand of humor. I will miss his honest perspective on humankind.

Its not a matter of some of this people CHOOSEN to not have flood insurance in most places they wouldnt offer flood protection because they said they where not in flood zones. And if you look at the flood maps they where right. But those maps are 20 plus years old and useless. Its kind of hard to buy flood insurance when your local agent WONT give it to you. And talking people out of that protection is just doing that. So we can cast blame on the everyday people which there should be some but giving them all the blame isnt right.

That kinda of like blaming people who got homeloans who shouldnt in the first place have gotten that loan and blame them for not being able to pay it.

Man! I would be steamed if I had dropped my flood insurance on the word of local officials. Just shows you can't be too careful I guess. I really feel for these people; the local government should help them get back on their feet since i was their assurances that directly led to them dropping their insurance.

For the rest of us with food prices escalating and gas prices at unbelievable highs we are all going to feel pain in our wallets, especially those on fixed incomes. I didn't think I was old enough to talk about the "good old days" but when I was in high school gas was a quarter a gallon and they had gas wars between stations to where the price could get as low as 19 cents per gallon – we didn't know how good we had it! And no, I did not go to high school when Noah was floating by! It really hasn't been all that long ago – thats the sad part of it.

Good morning, Anderson, & all,
George Carlin was a very funny man....he will be missed by many.

And, as I said last week, before my beloved mother-in-law died, the flooding along the river is horrible, & I can't imagine the horror of losing everything like so many people did. My thoughts & prayers are with these unfortunate people.
And, now, the reality of higher food prices is right around the corner, because of the immense loss of crops! The American consumer is already suffering....what next?!

I really can't believe anyone would ever trust FEMA about anything again.
And, last night, I found out that the Red Cross has had to take out a loan to keep itself going-& some of its fundraising is down due to a credibility problem, with 5 CEOs in the last 6 years! It's awful not to be able to trust this organization.

Can't wait till the show tonight. Later...

Good morning Anderson, I was shocked to learn George Carlin lost his battle with heart desease. What a loss, The Severn Words You Can Never Say On TV. is my favorite. I hope there a fitting tribute tonight.

Okay . What were the 7 words ? And in this day and time,
can't you say anything on cable or in music ?

found a definition in Websters I hadn't noticed before.
(economic downturn,loss of prestige,military fiasco,deception and constitutional abuse on a scale never imagined),and the word defined
BUSHWACKED.

I am truly sorry to hear of the death of George Carlin. One of his funniest performances was "My stuff". It was funny as well as having a deep message. Here's to George, I know he could not take his "stuff " just proving his point. To-day at least, I will not care about my stuff. I too will not be able to take it with me.
Thanks George.

I saw George Carlin perform live last year. Decades prior, my dad saw Carlin's show, and my dad and I still recall our favorite bits and pieces from the respective shows. Carlin is a powerful staple in comedy and culture, and he'll be greatly missed, but always remembered.
