You realise that you can't just mate a giraffe with a rhino and expect this result, right?

Nuts.

Well, there go my Christmas present plans.

You never let us have any fun.

The fate of various NO landmarks

For years, various pro-South groups have been spending millions on restoring Jefferson Davis's last house, located in Biloxi.

All that's left now is the foundation. The house is gone, destroyed by the surge.

billytea, did you see that the New Orleans zoo only lost three animals?

I think W is more of a classist than a racist. I think his disregard for the poor contributed (to the point of causation) to a couple of hundred/thousand post-storm deaths. I also think that racism and classism are intertwined enough that the 'difference' between them is pretty fine and when a bunch of black people die because you're a classist the charge of racism isn't completely our of line.

"And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this (she chuckles slightly)--this is working very well for them."

WTF? Not to denigrate the hard work of the good folk in Houston, but if living in the Astrodome with 20,000 other people is a step up, this is just one more sign of how her son and his cronies is ruining this country. On the other hand, I'm sure it is a big step up from where they've probably been the last week. Oh, yeah. I blame him for that too.

"And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this (she chuckles slightly)--this is working very well for them."

I keep waiting and waiting for her big mouth to get a fist put in it, but amazingly she's made it nearly 80 years of her tactless life without getting slapped.

I bet they aren't even cute anymore after two years.

Actually yeah. They're still pretty cute after two years.

Rhinos should be Lori's theme animal: super-near sighted, extra sensitive skin.

I expected better from Barbara, but George Jr. had to learn it somewhere, I guess.

Utah has a few hundred refugees, who were not told where they were going when they got on the plane. They didn't know where they were when they got off the plane and saw mountains. Officials didn't want to have people saying, "No, we don't want to go two thousand miles away to where we don't know anyone and where people can't find us!"

I wonder how many families are being permanently destroyed by the "Get on the bus and shut up, you'll find out where you're going later" policy. How are people going to find each other? I doubt people too poor to have a way out of a critcally ill city have cell phones with free long distance.

Baby Rhino!
