[plain talk]

We haven't even recovered the bodies and yet NPR knew everyone was wondering about those old oak trees. They also mentioned in the report that no one is really there to check on the oak trees because they have evacuated.

[cripplecreek]

I suspect those trees have had their roots submerged before.

[Conspiracy Guy]

This is an outrage. Why are the oaks being ingored? George Bush doesn't like oak trees.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Any idiot knows that a live oak takes longer than a few weeks to kill with water. I've seen them survive in ponds for 2 years before succumbing to water.

New Orleans' Oak Trees Devastated

BUSH'S FAULT!

[Enterprise]

Oak trees?

CHAINSAW ! ! !

[PilloryHillary]

This story should come as no surprise. Most liberal environmentalists value trees & animals more than human life.

[weegee]

Have they asked why President Bush didn't evacuate the trees yet?

[freebird5850]

There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees
For the Maples want more sunlight
And the Oaks ignore their pleas.

[laz]

Thousands of people dead... and they're worried about oak trees.

Yep, liberals care. They *really* do.

[benjaminjjones]

a club with over 5000 members, all but one are trees...the bylaws of the society permit one human member

If a club with one human member drops dead in the woods, do the trees hear the sound?

the president of the live oak society...is a tree

Al Gore?

I was going to say that these people are just unbelievable, but I remembered that we're talking about moonbats.

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

Two words: Bush's Fault!

[laz]

Hey, now we know why OwlGore was in the area!

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Although live oaks like their roots drier than cypress, they normally grow just above the wet stuff. In fact, one ways of knowing what the historial high land in NO was is look for the old, old oaks, like in City Park at the Dueling Oaks for instance.

Those trees might have been underwater briefly, but they aren't now.

Anyway, I suspect any trees able to grow next to wetlands can deal with getting wet from time to time.

[Osage Orange]

depriving their roots of oxygen.

Somebody ought to stop NPR's 02........

[RoseofTexas]

That darn Bush! He did it! (liberals screaming at the top of their lungs)...IT'S BUSH'S FAULT!!

[M. Espinola]

Like oak trees falling over is paramount to the issues at hand. NPR at their leftist best...

[finnman69]

Reports have been circulating that White Oaks were uprooted and transplanted by Neocon Jooooosssss but Black Oaks where left to wallow in the muck.

There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas

[flada]

Serves those damn oak trees right.

There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas.

The trouble with the maples,
(And they're quite convinced they're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light.
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade.

There is trouble in the forest,
And the creatures all have fled,
As the maples scream "Oppression!"
And the oaks just shake their heads

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
"The oaks are just too greedy;
We will make them give us light."
Now there's no more oak oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.
