It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

QuoteHurricane Isaac Response: ASPCA on the Ground

As you know, exactly seven years after Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Isaac is devastating Gulf Coast communities. Waist-high flooding has forced thousands to evacuate their homes, and as first responders work to rescue people stranded by the storm, the ASPCA is planning rescue operations for stranded and imperiled animals.

The ASPCA's response to this crisis is only just beginning and is evolving by the minute, but we have taken the following measures:

    Our top experts are working closely with the Louisiana State Animal Response Team to plan and execute rescue.
    We're deploying responders to conduct door-to-door rescue of animals in flooded or abandoned homes.
    We're assisting a Louisiana animal shelter facing flooding.
    We are supplying boats and other equipment for critical water rescue missions.
    We transported animals from a Mississippi shelter to make room for possible Isaac victims.

The HSUS Uses Social Networks to Update Pet Owners; Also Aiding Stranded Horses in Mississippi


The Humane Society of the United States has deployed to Jefferson Parish, La., in response to a request for assistance from the Jefferson Parish Animal Shelter. The HSUS is prepared to help with animal rescue, handling, sheltering and transportation needs during flooding caused by Hurricane Isaac. The HSUS is also coordinating the rescue of stranded horses in Magnolia, Miss.

"The Humane Society of the United States is coming to the aid of these animals, with equipment and trained personnel," said Niki Dawson, HSUS director of disaster response. "The scenes of the devastation created by the storm surge and heavy rains are heartbreaking, and we're pleased to help this community in its time of need."

The HSUS has been updating pet owners in the region via Twitter, using the handle @HumaneSociety, and Facebook with resources on pet friendly evacuation shelters and other information.

A team of HSUS responders left from Nashville, where they had been staged in anticipation of possible deployment.

Last time through Rev. Farrikan was saying that the gov't was deliberately breaking levee's to flood out black people.  Is this: more of the same?
PDH!
