Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Our wings are not tired.

A-B did this a couple days ago. They sent down close to 900,000 cans of water.

Ah, that's good to hear. No doubt there are a lot of private individuals and businesses doing a lot of good. It is just the people at the top who have spent untold dollars studying what to do in a disaster that are failing us.

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

Bush is speaking. Wonder if he'll mention Lott's beach house?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

"If the networks could figure out getting all their people and supplies in by Saturday night, why is it taking the federal government until Friday?"

You know, I work for a publisher -- we publish a monthly journal with subscribers all over the world, but mostly in the US. We don't mail the journals out from our offices; we have a company that does that for us.

My point? Our mailing company called today and said that they've already gone through our mailing list and pulled the addresses that are in Louisiana/Mississippi/Alabama, for the upcoming mailing.

If our mail service (NOTE: I don't mean the USPS; it's a private company that prepares the journals for mailing) can do that before the Feds get food and water to the survivors, that is fucking fucking SAD.

He did earlier, on CNN. Did you see the quote I posted?

I just want to shake him until his teeth rattle.

And then I want to send him in, alone, to spend the night in the Superdome.

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

I'm so tired of being ashamed of our president. It's not just that he can't or won't solve important problems, it's that he doesn't even see that the problems exist.

Yep. And after seeing his speech a few minutes ago, the shame is ever-enduring.

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

This is the quote CNN has on its front page from what Bush just said:

Bush in New Orleans: We have got a lot of work to do and it seems dark right now.

Can you believe that he is so inarticulate?

Silence means security silence means approval

The Saints home opener for the Giants has been moved to Giants Stadium.

Warwick Dunn has called out all the NFL players, except the Saints, to donate $5000 to hurricane relief. The Falcons have already committed over $260,000.

And now Deion Sanders is challenging all pro athletes to donate at least $1000.

Wish someone would challenge the GOP to do the same.
