This is insensitive, and uncaring. I am not. I apologize in advance, and if you are emotionally affected by Hurricane Katrina, this is the kind of thing that will make your blood boil,
New Orleans is blowin' in the wind.
Just like Haiti, last year.
Yeah, I said it.
Georgie and Katrina,
blowin' over trees...
Trees where cities used to be.
Georgie and Katrina,

Have you helped a refugee?

It doesn't make you sound like a jerk, just like most of the world. It's just news unless someone you know is involved.

Yeah, that's gonna cause some confusion among the Brits. :lol:
It's also a reminder that if a Hurricane comes your way, or any other natural disaster, terrorist attack, locust plague, Ashlee Simpson concert, that you are fucking on your own. Don't count on any other help than the two hands attached to your arms.

Which kinda sucks for those who got completely fucked by this class-striated economy, and who can't affort a car, or gas if they did, or a bus ticket, or even a place to go.

I have to admit, I borowed that from Bill Mahr.
When did Bill Mahr stop being funny and just started being mean....
Bill Mahr was funny?
Quote from: LMNOBill Mahr was funny?

Being mean is what makes him funny.
Wasn't he the guy who hosted Politically Incorrect?

yeah, until he said in a show that the terrorists weren't "cowards" as they
were called in the news...
justification: the terrorists blow themselves up, unafraid of death, while
our response at that time was to launch missles into afghanistan from
naval aircraft carriers 2000+miles away.
made sense to me.
"No, i'm not saying 'support these guys'; i'm SAYING that maybe calling
them cowards pigeon holes them."
"Don't you think calling these guys cowards is underestimating them?"
etc..
of course, saying the truth is never popular.
