1. I tried looking for the national date
But it looks like in your neck of the woods, it was immediate:

I found this link while looking for the national one. My guess is that it was almost immediately.

2. So... ummm... what are we waiting for?
Sure it's only symbolic, but if it was good enough for the victims of 9/11, then isn't it good enough for the Gulf Coast?

Or, would that make Bush acknowledge that something really, really bad happened again?

6. I better!
It's in my DU Contract, right before the sanity clause.

Until I was told there is no sanity clause. :cry:

3. I think like immediately, if memory serves
Definitely by that night. Maybe when Bush addressed the nation or something.

My oh my, what a different situation now.
