This is a national emergency. This is a national disgrace.

This is a national disgrace. We have got a mayor who has been pushing and asking but we're not getting supplies.

I remembered my mother’s insistence that I always wear clean underwear because I might get knocked down by a car on the way to or from school and I and the family would be disgraced even beyond the grave, presumably, if my underwear was dirty. And I began to worry, in fact, as the doctor sniffed and prodded, about the state of the shorts I was wearing. This made me want to laugh. But I could not breathe.

We're going to have re-entry for a 'look and leave' into the Ninth Ward starting on Wednesday into those areas where we don't have the large debris fields.

These are not individuals looting. These are large groups of armed individuals.

I love the national anthem.
