We all have our hopes and dreams to bring us through hard times.
Poor old Cape Cod. I love that place!
The little boy in Sanjay's story was cute! I am happy that the little girl has a positive outlook in such a negative situation. Bless those people
I might have cracked too with those names… maybe too close to Larry, Moe and Curly… the three stooges. My brain makes strange connections sometimes.
the hope in amidst horror story with the children completing their homework in the makeshift tent was so very inspiring. who would not give an arm and a leg to go and teach these children. please more, more stories like this one – stories of hope and the positive side of lives that live in harsh conditions – most of us could only dream about in a nighmare.
Sanjay is so good with the kids. So much suffering there! I can't imagine it.
By the way the Gov. was behaving, the grammatical errors of speech and reversal of some words makes me think she had a mini stroke. Perhaps this was the reason for her unwillingness to answer the reporters question about headless bodies.
Having hope is so powerful..it brings healing and raises spirits. God bless them in Pakistan.
Goodnight Mr. Cooper, Ms. Sesay, Dr. G,Team 360, moderators, bloggers.
Have a great Labor Day weekend y'all! Stay clear of Earl!
This is a great piece here with Dr. Gupta in Pakistan.
Children are amazing!
Those kids are beautiful.
Dr. Gupta has some really charming friends.
Its nice to see the great job that Dr. Sanjay Gupta is doing in Pakistan,,trying to get the word out on the how these people are in dire need of help,
Those children are precious! Thanks Dr. Gupta!
The kids are so cute 🙂
I love, love, love James Carville.
He always makes me laugh...a lot!!!
I love these stories from Dr. Gupta on the Pakistan flood refugees. He has such a great heart for showing us the reality these people are facing. How long is he staying in Pakistan to report on this?
Beautiful looking children. Inside and out!
why not tell american soldiers to go to pakistan to help the refugees
@Rick, Coppell, TX
"Hmmm...wonder what else Ms. Johnson "doesn't know" about? Vote these people out of office..."
I wonder how many people voted her into office?
A great example of why more people need to vote!
Hello everyone,
That hurricane is humongous.
Thank you for reporting on the devastating flooding in Pakistan Dr. Gupta. How sad for all those children. 🙁
maybe she was felt guilty because of her wrong decisions in the past
Not only that, but no one step up to assist the governor, and said, "The Governor will not be answer any more question at this time!"
You would think people that are nervous in front of cameras would have their speeches written down in front of them as a just in case
@Jo Ann in Ohio, I don't think anything would have helped Brewer. We're talking deer in the headlights.
@Anderson C – this hurricane wouldnt turn around and hit haiti...would it?
Whenever I have to do public speaking, I remember that everyone has tanked at one time or another, even Kathy Griffin!
Yes thank goodness the workers on the platform managed to escape and were rescued.
The platform in question would not be affected by a possible drilling moratorium as it's a production platform. I learned this today. But this incident does seem like an additional indicator of safety problems in gulf oil production.
@Jolene~ jan Brewer is painful but the double rainbow guy? He is humorously sweet!
Hmmm...wonder what else Ms. Johnson "doesn't know" about? Vote these people out of office...
The Arizona Governor could possibly be excused for losing her train of thought, but the headless body allegations that she couldn't respond to was beyond freaky.
I think Anderson's right...all media, politicians and celebrities have had their "blank" moments on live television. It's great fodder for us wondering what's happening, but more of a chuckle than a serious concern about the person.
James Carville is my favourite 🙂
Carville is so amusing! love it!
James is Correct!
That was her opening statement & it seemed more than a brain-freeze.
Her entire demeanor was...off.
I don't know what more painful, watching Governor Brewer or watching the Double Rainbow guy on YouTube!
BP should have spent their 93 million give people free gas cards. That would have worked better than their TV ads.
Gov. Jan Brewer was really having an off night. Her opponent must have been better.
It's a good thing that Earl is getting downgraded.
That's happened several times as a performer on stage. The most frightening thing in the world LOL!
Her statement was really scary.. Usually politicians are not at a loss for words...
Many people have the same problem even with the teleprompter in front of them.
Did Jan Brewer ever attend grammar school? I think not and she's a Republican too which probably explains alot LOL! She orates as bad as President Bush and Vice President Quayle! OMG!!!!! ROFLMAO!!
she is fast on deporting foreigner
Larry, Barry, and Terry. Maybe that would made anyone go blank and LOL~ Still what a Governor! Embarrassing is right.
I'm sorry, but Rep Johnson needs to be investigated further. I question where she got the $ 30,000 to repay the the scholarships. Did she really pay out of her pocket or did she steal from another source to repay?
She is not ready for that office!
Whew.....Gov. Jan Brewer must have been very nervous.. Yes indeed it must have been an interesting night for her.
Looks good AC
Jan Brewer is??? maybe Drunk?
A bad moment for Brewer, but then most government officials have their bad moments. I remember Bush having many of them and I watched Obama tell the American people that there are 57 states and that the Great Lakes were in Oregon, to name two.
Seriously, maybe she was having a medical thing going on..
