Which basically involved me overwatering the lawn, then standing in the sodden grass cannibalizing a jazz musician while I waited for a school bus to drive by.
I even tried to get Shep Smith to float by on a piece of sheared corrugated tin roofing and rail at the federal government—but the bastard wouldn’t return any of my emails.
How soon your forget, Shep. How soon your forget.
Developing…
Don’t forget to rape a baby!
I Plan to hand out Red Cup to everyone.
Ah, eat me.
tw: British
Watch out, Jeff. That Shep might run you down.
You need a canoe on the lawn while a neighbor screams,”Where’s my baby?”
We all have our own ways to commemorate important dates. I looted a liquor store and made off with 27 bottles of Bombay Sapphire, twelve cases of Beck’s and two martini glasses. It just so happened to coincide with a three day deluge that dumped over six inches of rain and flooded some nearby streets.
I would have gone for a big screen TV, but, alas no electronics store close by. Oh, well…I have 25 bottles of good gin left.
i’ll be commemorating it by living on my own most of the month of Septemeber….just like last year. well, okay, and well into next year, but whatever.
You forgot to evacuate to Texas and start trashing your apartment and sending the crime rates sky high.
I’m going to commemorate the anniversary by starting my own wholly unsupported rumor.
Did you know, that Bush had the Corp of Engineers plant explosives in the levies, so next time he can just blow them whenever he wants?
Because, of course, he hates black people. And Creole shrimp.
Me?….. I think I`ll just fart in the shower and try to grasp the nuance of this whole situation….. any word on the little armour-plated, non-dancing, piece of crap????
Maybe we can fly in all of the international child molesters together (bidness class, of course) and have them set up new, though temporary, living quarters in Folsom Field along with all the baby beauty pageant contestants and their parents.
If that don’t bring Shep out, nothing will.
RoboShep CRUSH!
SB: larger
and even more scary
Covering Katrina is the only way the shadow party can cover their sorry-ass Presidential
Crucifiction coverage of the Plame’s Lame Undercover Blame Game coverage.
tw Oprah reached out and touched Shepard Smnith’s heart. Feel the love.
I’ll be observing the anniversary of Katrina by standing around in a pile of my own filth and demanding somebody else clean it up for me.
And then I’ll flood the pile, and complain even louder, with a Big Media accompaniment.
McGehee, so ….a sloppy shower fart then?
Hugh Hewitt reports that of $77 billion already given to local and state authorities for Katrina rebuilding and relief only $33 billion has been spent. Please pass this on because as the Media–deprived of Abu Ghraib, Haditha and Plame–is clearly searching for another pre-election story..
The hurricane control satellites are acting up again–I sometimes have trouble loading javascript to run my ESPN fantasy football drafts. (Insert your own irony-laden quip about Reggie Bush here.)
And just in from Ray Nagin: “There’s a reason the satellite program is a “black” program, you know.”
To commemorate my involvment with the hurricane relief efforts, I am going to put on my BDUs and run in a circle. Oh, and I’ll have some LTC or COL bark urgent orders at me the whole time.
I’ve been trying to avoid doing those since Al Franken turned up on SNL.
Gosh, I was going to make another donation to the Red Cross. WTF was I thinking?
I’m going to flood the bathtub and sink. When my downstairs neighbors come up to yell at me in Chinese, I’ll sneak down the front stairs and steal their stuff.
And grab a plate of whatever I smelled a few minutes ago. And maybe one of their plants.
And I thought I’d be bored tonite!
With any luck, Ernesto will intesify to a Cat 4 and strike a vulnerable spot in the US.
So here’s the deal, creeps. There is a kind of yin site that serves as the sissified outpost of the original south(west)paw. That’s where all the sissy stalkers hang out.
Just saw a interview on public tv with a bunch of locals whining about the fact that they are still in the same place they were a year ago.
I think I see a slight difference between these folks and, say, those in lower Manhatten. One group set about fixing the problem themselves. While they still can’t agree on what to rebuild on the site, they at least got it cleaned up in record time. The other group sat on their asses and complained that it was Bush’s fault, while they waited for Santa Clause, er, I mean the gubment, to fix the problem for them.
Now, which do you think is which. I’m sorry, did I give too many clues?
Please tell me this is a joke.
Yeah I don’t get it. Lots of people from the 2003 firestorms in Ca are still w/o permanent homes (forget about the ones after that), the clean up took years in Northridge after the earthquake, and who paid attenition to them?
And granted, the damage was much, much worse in New Orleans, but God I get sick of these people whining.
And it’s getting so I don’t even feel bad anymore when I just want them to shut up.
McGehee, Typing “Flood the pile” and Al Franken in one post wasn`t an accident, was it?
I’m going to commemorate the anniversary by going on Larry King and blubbering, “Let dem touch dese things for once,” then I’ll stand and whip off my top and offer myself as succor to the sodden, half-drowned, poverty-stricken, helpless, hopeless, stranded, cannibals of Nawlins.
And one of my finer moments, too, Charlie.
Yeah, I always think that probably deters people from contributing more money/time/political pressure to the cause. I don’t want to donate and hear people whine about it. I want hope. I want to feel like I’m doing something good. I’ll donate my money to Cambodia, where they’ll build a well with a few dollars and put a sign of thanks in their yard.
Me, I’ll be standing on the roof, shooting at helicopters. Or will I?
I’ll be commemorating by saying “Happy Anniversary.” It’s been a year since I started reading PW on a regular, daily basis. Sure, I’d followed links to your site a number of times before then, but this was one of the very few “sane” sites covering what was going on down in NOLA at that time. I’ve been coming back ever since.
I thought I might swing by Sean Penn’s crib and make sure the dumbfuck put the drainplug in his boat this time. Maybe load his 12-guage with some blanks so he doesn’t hurt himself. And…….if he comes out to see what I’m doing I’ll probably go ahead and kick him in the nads a couple a dozen times.
I’m just going to reflect on how badly I’ve screwed up my life and blame Bush.
Nah, Bush taps my phone and has guys with guns. I’m going to blame Michael Brown for not showing up real fast and fixing all my f**kups right away.
I’m planing to do a nice video piece with Mike Myers and Kanye West about the New Orleans Saints and the help that has been provided by the Red Cross despite “somebody’s” unscripted comments. However, this time, I have two words: Duct tape.
To commemorate the ongoing rebuilding efforts in my city(Gulfport), I am going to do the following:
Pretend I’ve been without power for 9 days. Then when I see a Mississippi Power truck, stop them and offer bribes of whiskey, cigarettes, and food.
TW: Things are getting better
I’ll be goin’ a month or two without beignets and chicory coffee.
August 28. Happy effin’ birthday to me. Now it’s always going to be a Katrina revival, isn’t it?
yep, Happy Birthday Meg Q! missed my anniversary by a day. heeeey, that’s how i can remember it now, the not Katrina day.
Jimminy just re-read that embarrassment again. Let’s see…there are just so many additions Huffington Post have contributed…let me count the ways…could someone do an anniversary respective?
The last comment on PuffHO Randall Robinson thread is…well
OK…sorry. Last post, but this is from Randall’s LAST post on HuffPO (I can see)
WELL, and so…LINK
AND I guess while others were (can’t even type the brothers nonsense)…Brother “Bricks in Freezer” Billy Jeff was…
Randall
So did someone break the bad news to Randell, that his fellow HAH-VAWD Lawyer trained African American brother was commandeering the rescuers to scoop up his money and “bad papers” while the other black people ate each other??????????????
Link
Needed to get that off my chest. Thanks.
This Randall @ HuffPo, with his zombie negro braineater routineâ€â€that’s a showbiz pro who knows his audience.
Too bad I missed the original thread and comments are closed. I wanted to request “The Yaller Gal That Winked at Me.”
Notice that New Orleans Congressman William Jefferson commandeered the National Guard guys on the say day!!! that Randell wrote his original post!!!!!
(OK, this is the last)
say = same
And new hurricane are coming to USA – Ernesto… brrr
Jeez, when are you RACISTS!!! going to leave Randall Robinson alone? He admitted that his claims were “unsubstantiated.” Just because he never, ever told anybody else where he had heard where this stuff had been “reported,” you RACISTS!!! feel the need to stick it to him again.
Face it, you can’t keep a black man down, even when hr lies his ass off to make a political point off of the suffering of others.
RACISTS!!!
Me, I’m going to call for South Florida to be abandoned due to their coastal location, judge the entire Miami-Dade area by the behavior of the worse of their inner city evacuees, and lay the blame on everyone but the folks who’re owning up to having screwed things up by not designing & building the protective measures to their own standards. Oh, yeah, and post things like “I’m not donating to relief effords because the folks there are dootie-heads for living someplace that gets continually smacked by storms. What were they thinking when they built that city there?”
(Actually, I’ll really spend it trying to stay awake for when the apartment maintenance guys come to try & find the leak that’s been tearing up my bathroom ceiling since I moved into the place. Best of luck to the folks in Florida with Ernesto. Stay safe!)
I was hoping Tropical Storm Ernesto (or, as I liked to call it, “Che”) would do serious damage to Cuba, but it seems it was the other way around.
Quick! What hurricane was the most powerful storm ever developed in the Gulf of Mexico? What year was it?
Correct answers: Rita, 2005.
You think you guys are sick of Katrina? You should live somewhere in Rita’s footprint. Like I do.
From High Island, Texas to Southwest Pass of Vermilion Bay, Louisiana, [about 200 miles] and 10 miles inland, there was NO building left useable, and very damn few left standing. Some beach side communities [Johnson’s Bayou, Holly Beach, Rutherford Beach and others] simply ceased to exist. Beaumont, Port Arthur and Lake Charles all suffered tremendous damage.
I have been to Biloxi, Gulfport, Ocean Springs, the lower nineth and St. Bernard since Katrina. The damage is very bad. But it isn’t like Cameron [where only one building in town is even worth restoring] or Holly Beach, where it took me two hours to find the location where my beach house used to be because there were NO landmarks of any kind to mark where a town with 500 homes once was. No houses, no utility poles, no street signs, no visible streets. Just shallow washouts where houses used to sit, and a few concrete slabs [most of which were broken or even overturned by the force of the storm surge] or free standing pilings.
But the biggest difference between Rita and Katrina is the people whose lives they disrupted. The classic case in point was the FEMA worker who stopped to talk to a homeowner in Pecan Island, LA. The old Cajun was pushing debris off his property with his tractor, and the FEMA guy stopped him to talk.
“You can’t clear this debris until the Government tells you you can.”
“What govermen is dat?”
“The United States government.”
“Cher, this here is MY place, and I’m cleaning it up now, ‘cause I have time now. Oh, and Cher, you ain’t IN the United States. This is Pecan Island.”
We’re going to up our crack consumption and steal everything not tied down. Maybe even through in a few random murders. Nothing special.
Sincerely,
Thousands and thousands of refugees still seeking refuge in Texas
I wonder if this guy ever got his $20,000?
Slave ships
Sir, you’re free to go.
If that guy’d been on a real slave ship Major Owens would have tossed him overboard to feed the sharks.
’Cause, you gotta preserve the ecosystem…
Hmmmm.
Doesn’t anybody in NOLA understand that if it can happen once, it’ll happen again? And the last time it was only a sideswipe by Katrina since the Katrina largely wiped out Mississippi and only incidently struck NOLA.
Even if they rebuild the levees to suffice for Cat 3 storms. There’s bound to be a Cat 5 that will come out and just wipe NOLA right off the face of the Earth.
And personally? I’m not springing for yet another fricking federal taxpayer funded rebuilding of New Orleans. The first time? Sure. We’re sorry it sucks down there because you built under sea level and your local Levee Boards couldn’t be bothered to actually do their fricking jobs.
The second time? Not a fucking chance. It’s going to cost $100 billion dollars to fix NOLA, including the rampant incompetence, theft and graft. I’m springing for another one.
As if the self immolation guilt fest that is the first anniversary of hurricane Halibur… er, Katrina wasn’t enough to cause a general malaise and numbness in my extremities, the Philadelphia Inquirer, without excuse, sends me over the waterfall with 2 stories.
1) A lovely retrospective of the “emotional” connections of Brian Williams, Anderson Cooper and our boy Shep during the early days of the storm. Despite some concern expressed by talking scholar heads about “journalistic detachment” the overall conclusion was something along the lines of the situation allowed the response.
Judas friggin’ priest.
2) Have any of you been wondering why there have been so many less tropical storms this year. Well hold on to your Bombay Gin because the reason might be….Saharan Dust Storms! That’s right, boys and girls, those pesky mega sand whirlpools have been unusually active this year and all of that dry, dry dust is just flowing into the upper atmosphere choking potential depressions to within an inch of their lives.
Thobbing.Headache.Must.Kill.Small.Animal
Is it just me or does anybody else have this vision of atmospheric scientists in a big room, reclined in their office chairs, throwing lawn darts at the NASA approved Causes of Climate dartboard?
TW: Peer Reviewed, as in Peer Review this!
Psssst, Ed. They’re trying to build in a active distal delta by dredging and levees, intellegent reasoning left a long, long time ago.
I was under the impression that hurricanes were just God’s 2 irons. Everyone knows how hard it is to hit the deuce, and it never goes straight. The Big Guy Upstairs just fades or draws every now and then.
Of course, the Angels prefer bowling.
So God has to hit a 2 iron while choking in a dust storm while news anchors cheer him on with emotional abandon. go ahead, you try to keep a hurricane straight under those conditions!
The angels prefer bowling because their wings inhibit the golf swing(they just don’t get sufficient turn to drive through the ball…and God was sick of them breaking windows with their snap slices.)
Everybody clear on that?
Keep in mind that God usually likes to shape his shot around Cuba, it being a hazard and all.
Water or sand? Or maybe smoke?
A freedom hazard, my friend…………freedom….
I plan on ignoring all the warnings, screwing up the evacuation plan when I finally do get off my ass, becoming hysterically obstructionist during the crisis, then getting re-elected.
Gotta wonder if NoLa deserves it, or just asks for it.
Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a WINNER!!!!
The devastation of our coastline is the direct result of the Corps of Engineers building levees along both sides of the Mississippi River damn near from Minnesota to the Gulf, dredging the Intracoastal waterway from Brownsville to Miami, and otherwise f*cking around with nature’s drainage plan for the Mississippi River watershed.
Well intentioned, I’m sure. But channelizing the River stopped all alluvial delta formation by dumping the silt the river carries over the edge of the Continental shelf instead of across the Plaquemine/St.Bernard/Jefferson/Lafourche/
Terrebonne delta.
Geez, don’t I at least get a paper towel for my bloody nose for when I walked into that one?
alppuccino, today I am your straight man. Use me but be gentle.
I’ll be commemorating my Katrina rescue efforts by sitting in my canoe in the pool. I actually forgot how crowded this little boat gets with my publicist riding shotgun and the two photographers taking up all the room with their equipment. Crap…we’re sinking again. Just as well…Robin wants to swim some laps anyway.
When God goes Gulfing.
Ba-dum-bum.
Mmmmmm. I’ve got your own Emancipation Proclamation riiiiight here . . .
And don’t I know about Rita. A bunch of my relatives from Houston went up to the Hill Country for a few days, including a 92-yr-old great aunt, and we all waited for it to pass, even me up here in Canada. In the end it was okay for Houston, but bad for the TX/LA border, as Charlie noted. But who cried for Rita?
And you’re right about the levees etc. – all that nice topsoil sitting at the bottom of the Gulf . . .
Saw old Shep on TV today. He’s the same liar he was when he told of the hundreds of children being raped and killed in the Super Dome and the Convention center. He actually stated he was right then and someone , (maybe a democratic mayor) covered it up. This is the only person i’ve ever heard that has a bigger ego than Hanoi John. They can keep lying but no one other than themselves will ever believe the lies, well maybe some retarded lefties.
Just so everyone knows, Sean above was refering to his wife, not me.
I hate swimming laps.
Yeah.
Laugh and bitch all you want. But still, the people of New Orleans would like you all to know that
we are not okay
*
Big deal. I’m not ok either.
I flooded my bathroom in a show of solidarity and was practically electrocuted this morning when I blow dried my hair. Don’t hear any of those folks complaining about the unattractive burn marks from their ordeal.
Cry me a river.
But not in my bathroom, please.
God, I hope they don’t raise my rent.
I saw New Orleans before the flood. They weren’t okay then either.
If New Orleans wants my sympathy, they will have to quit electing corrupt, imbecilic and/or incompetent government. Re-electing Ray Nagin told me that New Orleans is not serious about recovery.
Why does everyone obssess about Shep? Bill Hemmer is far better-looking.
While I agree with this to an extent; in the run-off, Nagin was the only sane choice. All the good candidates were beaten in the first election.
Given a choice between Nagin [who was originally elected as a REFORM candidate, and actually had made some progress in doing just that] and Mitch Landrieu, I would have voted for Nagin.
The Landrieu family have controlled New Orleans politics for some 40 years; enriching themselves and their cronies at the expense of the people, and setting up the most corrupt voter fraud machine since Mayor Daly delivered Illinois to Kennedy in 1960. The Landrieu machine gave us Katrina Mary and Kathleen Blanco, both via the ‘cemetery vote’.
I love everything about this site!!
