If they rebuild the city (OK, not "they" -- the taxpayers), will it be known as New New Orleans?
Inasmuch as the city has a French name, was it not inevitable that they'd lose in the end?
lol
I don't think it's funny, simply because I view the whole thing as tragic and sad, and there are innocent people caught up in all this..

Well since it's a humor thread.
Lack of Bush Eloquence Imperils Hurricane Victims
by Scott Ott
(2005-09-01) -- Fears increased today among hundreds of thousands of refugees from the hurricane-ravaged gulf coast as they faced a Labor Day weekend with little hope of an eloquent speech from President George Bush.
As today's New York Times editorial indicated, the president "gave one of the worst speeches of his life yesterday, especially given the level of national distress and the need for words of consolation and wisdom".
Instead, the president devoted his first major post-Katrina address to laying out what the federal government is actually doing to help with disaster recovery.
One New Orleans man, currently living in the 'Plaza End Zone' section of the Superdome as he awaits news of his missing family members, said, "I can survive for some time with little water, no food and highly unsanitary conditions...but if I don't hear some poetic words of comfort and stirring verbal imagery from the president pretty soon, I'm a goner."
A White House spokesman said additional speech writers have been flown in to accelerate completion of "a magnificent, almost-Clintonesque display of rhetorical compassion." However, it could take up to a week of pronunciation rehearsal before the president is ready to deliver the speech to the nation.

Ain't many Skinnies in N'Awlins though, best fed poor folks I've ever seen.
BTW, The New Orleans political machine has obviously taken a page from President Fox's playbook...and improved upon it by using a trumped-up hurricane excuse to solve its own poverty problem-Mexico Style and exported its poverty problem to other states!

Sadly, your comedy is too true.

Interesting you should mention that. The parodies I two have two purposes: one is to provide brief respite from those who are deeply entrenched in the serious nature of the subject at hand; the other is to tick off those who don't think the subject is being handled seriously enough.
As you clearly fall into the latter category, I sincerely hope that this parody ticks you off enough to compel you to do something about this admittedly tragic situation.
Best wishes. God bless. And godspeed.
Curiously enough, the beer looter was my original motivation to do that parody. Kinda destroyed that whole Liberal "they're only taking what they need" myth...
Sadly, your comedy is too true.
I am hard-pressed to find comedy in this tragedy. Right now I can only see what p:$$e$ me off.
The new name? Neoleans?
PC that so funny LOLOL! in F*** up way Rack it LOL!
But it is true
hmmm... ok.. fair enough.. if that was your motive.. keep em coming ! ;)
Maybe felt a need to bulk up on carbs...
I picture the Polish potato farmer admiring his work on his fields and then there is the sound of tank treads

Please ping me.
Great image! Are they ever going to shoot to kill? This is insane! My niece and her husband got out and went to Mobile to stay with my brother. They think their house is under water. She's 8 months pregnant, but they had some place to go. I feel so bad for the poor, decent people who are stuck there.
Where's the rapin' and murderin', the robbers and bangers and where are all the lootin' coppers?
Sorry to disappoint. I just didn't feel like getting banned.
Everyone this week must put together your own bugout bag: a whitewater dry bag containing at least - (each item is sealed within two zip-locks bags) two LED headlamps such as Petzl Plus 4 bulb with flash mode, hightech filtration "straw" in a litre bottle{up to 200 gallons} with iodine tabs and orange Gator powder to cover the corpse taste, a 100 oz. Camelbak pack, a Scout bandana, with mouthwash on the bandana to help mask the corpse stench, a dozen+ nitril gloves in your size, leather work gloves, swim goggles, 12,000+ Kcal foods such as jerky, roll of Bounty paper towels for everything {;^), albacore tuna/boneless pink salmon, canned fruits, Swiss army knife, 5-7" combat blade, Gerber ax, Gerber saw(s), rope, several 550# para-cord packs, a means of digging poop catscratch holes, a real first-aid kit, a change of baggy white clothes in warm weather and quality broken-in footware per season, rain gear with 55 gal trash bags for poncho etc., a 3x5 American flag, an 8x10/10x12 stout tarp, AND what ever you think might need and be able to carry this 40#+ long distances such as veg. seed packets and a Good Book. The whitewater bag may well help float you too. This bugout gear includes a holstered handgun and ~100 rounds with rat-shot and hollowpoints and a 12 G. if possible. Rats, snakes, and pack dogs are to be common. I pack a few pounds of quality dog meal for use as bait; perhaps I can adopt a guard dog in the process. Peppermints work for people, kids or not.
A 9mm/.40 medium frame semi with 12+1 plus 4-8 12 round mags in carriers on the belt plus a S&W J-frame in .357 works.
Pre-prepare yourself to defend with Wyatt Earp deadly force and witness horrors of rape and murder in addition to the many unlucky dead. As the pirates in N.O. have demonstrated, they can be anywhere and will kill for your stuff.
So long, anal-dwelling racist newbie troll.
Interesting choice of screen name. The billie holiday/Abel Meeropol song now largely forgotten by most.

I was commenting about this guy with dfwgator yesterday night. He's going to be famous...
What did Fruit boy have to say?
Please add me to this cool ping list...
That was an interesting post. They couldn't bring themselves to pretend full fledged racism, so they had to mitigate it with an "inside" reference to say, "Hey, I'm not really a racist." It was, on some level, endearingly naive.
Good policy.
That's right. The answer is to always send them over the border into Texas......
I just love the graphics on this Site.
Who'da thunk they were that prophetic?
Do you do commercial work?
Heyyy, I ain't that good! :o) Thanks so much for your kind words. Really makes my day!
Do you do commercial work?
I have in the past, but my day job is computer and network security in aerospace. The graphic work I do with SCB is mostly to keep my blood pressure down.
I can appreciate that at this point in life. If you'd consider some work on an "if I fell like it" basis, please let me know.
:^)
Good observation! However, we should not lose focus on the fact that MOST of the folks who are suffering from this tragedy were victims BEFORE the storm hit. They had to put up with this stuff in their own neighborhoods.
We still need to reach out to help these people who are truly victims!! [Even if we do take the opportunity to use martial law to remove many of the vermin.]
