"Where are all of us?"

Not down there doing something so politically transparent and phony that it's almost a sin?...:)

Ole man SeanPenn, that ole man SeanPenn
He don't say nothin', he don't know nothin'
He jes keeps floatin' along

He don't plant cotton, he don't plant taters
If he capsizes he's food for 'gators
But ole man SeanPenn, he jes keeps floatin' along

Tote that boat
Scoop that bail
Hoist that jacket
To make a sail

Oh, I gets weary and sick of lookin'
At him play-actin' as Captain Hook-in
But ole man SeanPenn, he jes keeps floatin' along

Leni

Notice the flack jacket!

Why would he need a flack jacket? He's rescuing people! He's saving all the people the Feds won't/can't save! Everybody loves him! Hollywood to the rescue!

Where are all of us?

We're staying out of the way and letting the professionals handle the rescuing. How would us going down there and becoming part of the problem be considered help?

Pitiful, ain't it?
Just think of all the manpower wasted to "protect" his silly @ss when they could've actually been elsewhere saving people.

*I* am not there because, like Sean Penn, I have not the training or experience necesssary to enter hostile/dangerous areas to save lives and I'm honest enough to admit it.

Can't say the same for him.

* We sheltered 4 evacuees in our home for 5 days (Sunday-Thursday) -- 2 adults and 2 canines with my 3 cats and 2 adults.

* Tomorrow I'm going with 2 ladies to deliver pet supplies to a shelter in Birmingham where truckloads of rescued pets are being housed temporarily -- until wonderful folks from New York can transport them east for adoption.

* Tomorrow I am also going to the Pelham, Alabama Civic Center to deliver pillows and blankets for the first 100 evacuees. I will be surveying the situ to see what else is needed. We are expecting 5,000 evacuees over the next few days.

* Our Missouri Synod Lutheran Church is already collecting $$ and we have donated. We've been told to hold off on other activities for about 2 weeks, until the situation is fully assessed and a specific plan devised to care for our own.

Any other questions?

ROTFL!You know, I think we may have to thank Sean Penn. This is first time I've laughed in a week.

They were probably gonna put them on camera, "spontaneously" thanking Penn & Co. for saving their lives when W wouldn't...:)

Bingo, their hatred of Bush is irrational. The good news is he had to buy the boat and camara equipment that sunk in the Bayou on the SS Dingy! How many could he have fed if he gave $$ to the Red Cross??

Give credit where credit is due. He is due some.

Credit for what? Attempting to save people? Nope. His intention was to float out there with his photographer and entourage to rescue someone while HE was on camera doing it. It was about Sean Penn, and NOT about any selfless act of kindness.

His photographer was supposed to be in the boat, although I'm sure there were plenty of lefty photogs there to show ALL of his contributions. They sure did eh?
