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.
But she was naked! And all... articulate!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Yeah, I did that this morning (iTunes).

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
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).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
In other "What the fuck is wrong with people" news, I got my first spam attempting to take advantage of Katrina this morning.

-t! Honey, I'm so sorry. I've been thinking about you and Henry, and will, of course continue to.
Much love to y'all.

What caused my eyes to roll back in my head during W's little speech was his reference to poor Trent Lott, whose house was destroyed. Yes, sad for him, but don't made me feel sorry for a man who has at least one more house in DC, and a slew of corporate sponsors who are perfectly willing to put him and his into whatever accommodations he would prefer, not while you have babies and the elderly dying in the Superdome because they have nowhere else to go.
