Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I could get the link, but no time to read it now. I could just die of not-surprise about the looting and shooting in New Orleans.
ION, why did I never realize that Gilbert Gottfriend was the voice of the "AFLAC!" duck?
Well, apparantly he used the words "monkeys" and "animals" to describe the looters. He argued that these terms are not racist, as the looters are people of different races, including whites.

Also the voice of Digit the cyberbird on Cyberchase.
Scary in an 'he'd start a Waco if he was in the right mood' way.
Scary in an, 'he'd start a Waco if he was in the right mood' way.
Yeah. This sort.
I'm getting a distinct Full Metal Jacket vibe from that dude. Scary.

Some guys are just itching for the chance to play army.
Oh, and it looks like the mainstream media is beginning to pay attention to Bush's lack of concern about natural disasters prior to Katrina:
This administration has consistently played down the possibility of environmental disaster, in Louisiana and everywhere else. The president's most recent budgets have actually proposed reducing funding for flood prevention in the New Orleans area, and the administration has long ignored Louisiana politicians' requests for more help in protecting their fragile coast, the destruction of which meant there was little to slow down the hurricane before it hit the city. It is inappropriate to 'blame' anyone for a natural disaster. But given how frequently the impact of this one was predicted, and given the scale of the economic and human catastrophe that has resulted, it is certainly fair to ask questions about disaster preparations.

He's maybe having a little too much fun with the whole thing, but I didn't find him scary.
