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.
Odds are they're from Anchorage, both because they have half the population of the state and because they often tend to think of themselves as being the whole state, but you never know.
Ah, Anchorage. As close as you can get to Alaska without actually being in it. That's a subject that the BBC America news is hitting hard -- why are dead bodies being left in the streets?
I read that article. It's almost unfathomable.

And sadly, the closest they're getting to an answer is, "We're focusing on helping the living."
OK, fair prioritizing as far as it goes. But responders shouldn't still be having to choose between feeding the living and collecting the dead at this stage.

Limited resources, I'd guess. Sadly, that's not the most pressing problem.
Asked if the move was a demotion, Brown said: "No. No. I'm still the director of FEMA."
Heh. Crazy denial land. It's like when a portion of fandom rejects a plot turn. "No, no, no! I disbelieve it. It didn't happen. Not my woobie!"
In better news, managing partner has Red Sox/Yankees tix he can't use, so he's auctioning a pair and raffling another for the Red Cross. $900 won the auction. Got my fingers crossed on that raffle; Bob would die if I got Sox/Yankees tickets.
Yes, Bob would. I would kill him and impersonate him as I accompanied you to the stadium.
"No, no, no! I disbelieve it. It didn't happen. Not my woobie!"
Michael Brown: I am my own woobie.
whoo- good luck, bon!
I might just pay to see Nutty impersonate Bob.

Burn in hell, Arthur Lawson, you cold-hearted motherfucking son of a bitch. You and Barbara Bush. Just go and fucking rot.
WHAT. PLEI. SAID.

NO SHIT! It's now almost TWO FUCKING WEEKS since Katrina hit. People were still being rescued YESTERDAY. The press conference Chertoff gave today shoving Bronie aside should have been held A FUCKING WEEK AGO. Bush wants to declare Sept. 15th a national day of prayer and remeberance, I want him to declare a national day of FUCKING DOING SOMETHING FOR YOU FELLOW MAN.
All these scum fuckers who want to shrink the federal government, and for us people to stop relying on it don't seem to get it that rich corporations and individuals are never going to BUILD A FUCKING LEVEE, or MAINTAIN SECONDARY ROADS, or all the other shit the federal government is supposed to do. That's why it's FUCKING THERE. TAXES ARE THE PRICE WE PAY TO LIVE IN A CIVILIZED SOCIETY, FUCKING MORON IDIOT FUCKHEADS!
Gah! Sorry. Sorry for the ranting and the asscaps and everything. I just.... I hit outrage fatigue, but somehow, everyday, I find new outrage to spur me on.
