Another moment of unabashed pragmatism

Question:  will the giant tsunami we’re being told could any day now wipe out the entire west coast have the salutory effect of flooding out the most statistically-likely point of dispersal for an avian flu epidemic we’re told could kill 50 million of us (give or take)?

Because if so—and granted, this has much to do with my not living on the west coast—I’m all for it.

Sorry.  But to paraphrase a great American, Bird flu don’t surf.  And that’s all this patriot needs know.

    3rd question.  Will it wipe out the California Electoral Votes or will those just be pushed inland?

    Inquiring minds want to know.

  2. Gamer says:

    California freeways tend to be clogged both ways during the usual times, so there is no chance in hell of people getting out when they agree on a direction. Also, the blue areas are lowland coastal, while the area I live in is about 2000 ft above yet not too far north of the LA basin, and we’re about as red as you get.

    I call dibs on the beachcombing.

    Taking out Berkley, Hollywood, and SF is enough for me. Bird Flu? Pure gravy.

    ”…and,if you look out the left window, you will see Streisand island, complete with a 15,000 square foot rookery, where the famous singer/actress/political activist used to spew her invective…”

    Hey, I’m with Gamer.  Down here near Orange County, we’re about as red as knuckledragging troglodytes come.  I mean, why do you think all the stupid LA scenesters who actually grew up in Anaheim or Huntington Beach still make that stupid joke about having escaped from behind the “Orange Curtain”?

  6. TODD says:

    Living in Laguna Niguel, when the tsunami hits I will have beachfront property. Wow, what an investment that was………

  7. APF says:

    Oh, I’m sure you’d find that just so funny, so ironic–a way to make California a real “blue state:” by drowning everyone!  But the REAL irony is that you’d make it a “red state” like the illegal, immoral, and incompetent quagmire of Iraq: RED WITH BLOOD.  But I bet your precious govfuhrerinator would survive long enough to grope someone just one last time.  Wankers.  I don’t know what’s worse: your wishing death to all those Brave Californian-American Patriots, or your call for the GENOCIDE of innocent birds–who aren’t responsible for the deaths of a million Brown Babies like your Dear Leader, the neoKKKon chimperor george WANKER bu$h.  And how did those birds get the flu in the first place?  Obviously due to the incompetence of the bu$h misadministration not supplying enough vaccines–oh, but that must be due to a “manufacturing defect” right?  Like the manufacturing defect in your incompetently-designed “brain!” Why do you hate birds so much?  Is it because the word “fowl” reminds you of the FOUL pit of darkness that is your SOUL?

    BIRDS HAVE CIVIL RIGHTS TOO, RICHARD H CARAMONA!

    If it turns Sierra foothills property into ocean front, I’m all for it as well.

    Don’t forget the east coast tsunami cased by a Canary Island volcano.

  10. “But to paraphrase a great American, Bird flu don’t surf”

    I wouldn’t be so sure about that comrade Goldsteinovski

    To paraphrase a famous Oklahoman ornithologist, several species of free-riding chickenhawks were recently spotted in Washington and TeX-Aviv

    Not to mention the fact that, many years ago, on the distant planet of Zenn-La, a surfing philosopher named Norrin Radd boldly said to a power-hungry galactic Pharisee dreaming of conquering a cosmic empire: “He who lives by the sword shall die by the sword”

    Now go and meditate. Your mantra shall be “Neocons are Marxist Terrists in Wilsonian Sheep’s Clothing”

    The Doctor is in.

  12. richard mcenroe says:

    Nah, the chicken farms are all inland and uphill.  But it might rinse some of the pink out of the political landscape…

  13. Robert says:

    You know what sucks? My kids are now in San Diego. I can no longer be indifferent to southern California being destroyed by malign forces.

    I hate having to root for southern California.

  14. Scape-Goat Trainee says:

    How can you possibly be even thinking about such a horrible thing as a tsunami wiping out California?

    What about the birds?

    Especially those along the beach, such as the always welcome sight of the Bigatus Breastatus.

    Also known by their common name: The long-legged-double-breasted-brown-skinned-bikini-clad-mattress-thrasher.

  15. APF says:

    Scape-Goat Trainee: You mean, the falsely-implanted weapons of masstitconstruction? 

    I think they’ll float.

  16. Lou says:

    Todd,

    Don’t you mean Gods Country

    Lou…

  17. Sean M. says:

    It’s okay, Robert.  San Diego tends to vote Republican.

    I am a Goldsetinovskyite.

    “[Goldsetinovskyites] disdain to conceal their views and aims….[Goldsetinovskyites] have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. [Goldsetinovskyites] of all countries, unite!”

  19. Scape-Goat Trainee says:

    “You mean, the falsely-implanted weapons of masstitconstruction?

    I think they’ll float.”

    Good.

    That’ll make ‘em easier to find.

  20. RS says:

    Vega invoked the Silver Surfer!

    But was it the Kirby Silver Surfer, or the Moebius Silver Surfer?

    The world wonders…

  21. Vega invoked the Silver Surfer!

    okay, i think that settles the old parody question

  22. Walter E. Wallis says:

    The last tsunami alert, half the population of Frisco went down to the beach to watch it come in.

  23. richard mcenroe says:

    RS – Everybody knows the Kirby Surfer was the REAL Silver Surfer, sailor! Not that pretentious European crap!

  24. richard mcenroe says:

    Walter E. Wallis—Darwin knew his shit.

  25. “…was it the Kirby Silver Surfer, or the Moebius Silver Surfer?”

    The All-American artist Jack Kirby of course!

    Moebius? Never heard of him.

    The name sounds French to me: a friend of Saddam maybe?

    grin

  26. Walter E. Wallis says:

    Moebius? Never heard of him

    You just never traveled in his circle.
