Location: United States

I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

Blanco's Bus Order: Too little, too late

On The Corner, National Review editor Rich Lowry posted this e-mail he received:

Rich,
Check this out. It's a pdf file of Blanco's executive order telling schools to get their buses into New Orleans to get people out of the city. It was issued on Aug. 31, at best (if she signed it at midnight) hours after the city flooded and that famous photo of the submerged buses started going around the web.

And the kicker, and you can find this on the Louisiana government website rather quickly, she amended the order on Sept. 2 to make sure that everyone driving the buses has a drivers' license. That's very important, I guess.
You can have a look at the Order here, courtesy "National Review."
