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.

In good news form this horrible storm, I heard a story on NPR this morning about the elderly residents of the flooded out Gulfport Veteran's home, who all got bussed up to the DC Veteran's home ,which has apparently got room and is a beautiful place. Residents lined the sidewalk with flags to welcome them.
You can also donate to the Red Cross through the iTunes Music Store.
Yeah, I did that this morning (iTunes).
Oh, -t, I'm surprised you can even TYPE. I'm so sorry about your Grandmother. I'm so happy your parents came and just GOT you. I don't care if I sound like I'm four, but nothing is better than Mommy and Daddy just scooping you up (even if they can't actually make it all better).
Tom - hope you are feeling ok. basically everyone else said what I would. Sorry though.
LONDON (Reuters) - Oil prices fell by $2 a barrel on Friday as Europe prepared to tap up to two million barrels a day of emergency reserves to help ease a fuel crisis threatening the United States.
Petrol tanks have run down in the world's biggest consumer after Hurricane Katrina tore at the heart of the U.S. energy sector in the Gulf of Mexico on Monday and shut in nearly two million barrels per day (bpd) of refining capacity.
As the crisis deepened, President George W. Bush asked the International Energy Agency (IEA) to release petrol reserves and urged Americans to conserve fuel.
Huh. Once again, we'll take aid from other countries if it's in the form of oil.
I'm really offended by Bush on my tv right now with the governors of Alabama and MS. First, Haley Barbour just complimented the federal govt on what a great job they are doing. Does Barbour not remember BEGGING the President to do something on Tuesday? Or even his complaining yesterday?
I hate this bullshit.
In other "What the fuck is wrong with people" news, I got my first spam attempting to take advantage of Katrina this morning.
