BIG. QUEASY.
New Orleans is in for an ass-whipping, I guarontee. I hate that. I probably won't get much sleep tonight, waiting to see what happens to one of my favorite, and certainly most vulnerable, cities.
I saw some idiots on Fox News swearing they would ignore the evacuation order, and "ride it out". You'll ride it out all right, mon frere. They'll probably find you about 80 miles out in the Gulf. What part of 28 feet of water these people don't understand is beyond me.
I don't wish ill on anyone, but I hope this beast takes a turn. And no, I won't make any gratuitous jokes about Katrina and the Waves.
Sometimes, there's only a single word that can truly express *everything* that is felt regarding an event.
This is one of those times.
The word?
"Fuck"
That's it.
Nothing more to say.
Nothing more to do, other than to contribute money or anything else that is needed to cope with the aftermath.
Fuck...

Posted by: Eric at August 28, 2005 6:30 PMLooks like my home town will be wiped out,,,was a kid during Betsy in southern Plaquemines Parish and then again for Camille,,,lost everything both times, but stuff that was replaceable! My family, the ones still left down there, left out Sat afternoon, so I know they are safe!
Posted by: Michele at August 28, 2005 6:37 PMI'm scared. Not for me and my loved ones, because they all packed up and got the fuck out of town. I'm scared I won't have a home to go back to.
'Fuck' is right. I've been watching it all day, as I'm sure most of the nation is doing.

Do me a favor? Conjure up "Angelina and the Lips"?
Posted by: Marcus at August 29, 2005 1:30 PMI just wonder how much international aid the USA will get from our "friends" around the world. After all we are a bunch of greedy assholes that hord all our money.
