Currently they're on $1M to the Red Cross and $1M to the Salvation Army - in addition, individual Wal Marts may well do more, and all 3,800 locations will take individual donations.

Last fiscal year US$285.2 billion in revenue

so they've gone up to $2 million?!??!?!

alert the media

The Wal Mart CEO tonight said that they would contribute 17 millions + the stuff that they're sending down south.

Tough talk from Gov. Blanco:

NEW ORLEANS - New Orleans descended into anarchy Thursday as corpses lay abandoned in street medians, fights and fires broke out, cops turned in their badges and the governor declared war on looters who have made the city a menacing landscape of disorder and fear.

"They have M-16s and they're locked and loaded," Gov. Kathleen Blanco said of 300 National Guard troops who landed in New Orleans fresh from duty in Iraq. "These troops know how to shoot and kill, and they are more than willing to do so, and I expect they will."
