Just a thought
Posted by Patrick at 12:48 PM *

New Orleans LiveJournaler “cobaltgreen” suggests what can be done to get help into the city faster.

1. Announce they are giving late term abortions down at the Convention Center.
2. Spread the rumor that they’re thinking about disconnecting the feeding tube of a (white) woman in a coma at one of the hospitals still standing.
3. Ask a calm, mourning, middle aged woman to camp out for peace along Canal Street.

yeah, 1 woman on a feeding tube and you have the govornor passing Terri's law and sending armed state troopers to evacuate Terri and have her feeding tube inserted, the palm sunday compromise was passed by three politicians during a midnight session, more politicians tried to "subpeona" Terri Schiavo so that witness protection laws would kick in, and the president was quick to make his opinion known.

Maybe someone should announce that people are teaching evolution to the refugees. That has also been known to mobilize an army.

Hell, just charge the Bush administration with the task of filling NOLA to the brim with water. It'll be bone-dry in hours.

What we need here is some new words in the langugage to describe the people from the area. I was thinking that "caners" would be a good handle for people who need some variety from "looters" or "refugees".

Well, it looks as if donations will at least go to the right place if they do start the late-term abortions or gay marraiges....

Pat Robinson wants to "manage" the donations for the hurricane survivors - see this link - http://www.livejournal.com/users/jackola/#jackola_970142

Okay, trying this again with some corrections due to typos in my previous post:

Here's a great, if indirect comment on our Dear Leader's excellent management via Jeffrey Rowland of Wigu fame.

It's even got a great idea for campaign cost savings that would certainly work here in Seattle.

Not to mention "Put out the word that a blonde co-ed has gone missing in the French Quarter."

My friend thinks that Bush should volunteer his ranch in Crawford as staging grounds for refugees to camp out in.

And I quote:

The Shrub is on the news in his shirtsleeves, giving refugees hugs. Fuck hugs. Give these people a goddamned sandwich. Better yet, why doesn't he turn his ranch in Crawford, Texas into a refugee camp? He's got a hojillion acres and he's not going to be using them any time soon. As our nation's "leader," why doesn't he get the ball rolling on charity work by setting an example of how people with wealth and land can help?

Why do I get the feeling that if Bush had 9,000 refugees camped out in his yard, they'd be getting some aid HELLA-FAST?

So, that's the new plan: TURN CRAWFORD INTO A REFUGEE CAMP. Cindy will probably welcome the support.

Good plan! And he already cleared the brush....
