Metaquotes

(From a friend's journal, who would remain annonymous...)

Black people loot.
White people find.

(I don't have mirror links, so this will work as long as the photos are up. Read the captions.)

Edited to add: The caption for the first remains: "A young man walks through chest deep flood water after looting a grocery store in New Orleans on Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2005. " The second has been removed because a near-identical picture of two white people with debris was captioned using the word "find" instead of "loot".

"IF ANYONE SAYS ANYTHING MORE ABOUT COLLEGES TO ME I WILL SHOOT THEM, AND THEN RUN THEM OVER WITH A SEMI AND THEN CHOP THEM UP INTO TINY PIECES AND FEED HALF TO THE FISHIES AND BURN THE OTHER HALF AND THEN REBURN THE ASHES AND FRY THE FISHIES FOR SUPPER TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE REALLY DEAD BECAUSE I AM SICK TO DEATH OF TALKING ABOUT ANYTHING REGARDING MY HIGHER EDUCATION PLANS." - darth_snarky

The astonishingly funny apocalypsos makes a Big Point by drawing an informational map of where no one should live in America, and why (Note: Click the link before you get your irate hat on; it's TP, you know she's cool.)

My first metaquote! Be gentle!

piscafish has a new roommate, who must have had some... bad experiences with roommates in the past...

I recently made a post about Bush's approach to the hurricane and my own cynical opinion, and received a reply that made me laugh.

Congratulations, George W. You're the first president in living memory to lose a major US city.

Alex: "The answer is 'Tuesday morning'".

FC: "What is the day that everyone in the free world with access to radio or television except FEMA Director Michael Brown knew that hurricane refugees in New Orleans were being sent to the convention center, Alex?"

the above was quoted from fullycaffeinated

Some excellent suggestions from cobaltgreen that just might work.


OK everyone... we must think outside the box to get help into our city! Here's what I propose we do to get a government response faster:

1. Announce they are giving late term abortions down at the Convention Center
2. Spread the rumor that they're thinking about disconnecting the feeding tube of a (white) woman in a coma at one of the hospitals still standing.
3. Ask a calm, mourning, middle aged woman to camp out for peace along Canal Street.

Context? There really wasn't any, it was just random.

Also, Why I don't like it when people say "Jesus loves you": I find it damn creepy. In a skeevy uncle stalker sort of way. Plus, some Christian hardliners say it in this passive-aggressive manner that really means "You suck but this long dead almighty man will save your sorry ass." Someone saying "Allah loves you" or "Buddha loves you" or "Zeus loves you" would bother me as well. Especially the "Zeus loves you" one. Cause you totally know Zeus loves you only because he wants to get into your pants.

tviokh is, shall we say, pessimistic:

AP: Huge oil spill spotted near storage tanks on Mississippi River downstream from New Orleans, state officials say.

Oh good.

What else could possibly go wrong down there?
OH! I know, nuclear waste could start leaking!
Someone could bomb the place!
The ground could open up and swallow everything!
A big earthquake with a following tsunami maybe?
Snakes in the chemical soup water could mutate into giant, angry snakes that like to eat busses full of people.
Godzilla could visit.
Dubya could make it out without being attacked by criminals

Oh, and locusts.

Have you heard what they're calling the flooding in New Orleans? Lake George.

And they're calling New Orleans New Orlantis. :/

My friend Tiffany has a.... quirky.... sense of humor.

BUSH "BERSERKS," DEATH TOLL RISING

A brief preview-

Now, stymied by the relatively low loss of life thus far from his hurricane last weekend, the President has taken to the streets, snatching babies and devouring them whole, before their mothers' eyes.

And I will strike down upon thee with GREAT vengeance and FURRIED anger those who would attempt to piss on and destroy my kingdom! And you will know my name is the LORD when I lay my vengeance upon thee! GODDAMN, if this shit don't taste just like chicken!

Includes several pictures and a list of "quotes" from notable Democrats.

In response to all the "Well, if you build your house upon the sand hurricane country" philosophising, joyfulgirl41 recalls a family dinner conversation:

Mama!Joyful: Well, it doesn't really matter where you live. No matter where you go, something is going to get you. Earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, volcanoes--

Brother!Joyful: The rhythm...

I got seriously hit on by three girls within five hours of coming out of a long term relationship.

I need to bottle this vulnerable heartbroken vibe I've got going because apparently it's really sexy. I want to use it sometime when I'm not actually vulnerable and heartbroken.

Say, next week

Pass me a bottle of that would you?

th_esaurus, in response to some pr0n:

So. Hot.

I am a keyboard mash of incoherence.

In other news, I have to go dig out another keyboard and make sure all the keys work, 'cause this one is giving an excellent New Orleans imitation.

I make a f-locked posty in my journal bitching about some fundies saying that Katryna was sent by God to punish America and what not.

And mariko_azrael says...

Wow. that's too crazy to truly understnad, but here's the gist I got:

God is mad at the US for not being Christian enough. That's why he keeps sending hurricanes at, y'know, the Bible Belt.

adrateia in a locked post, regarding an idea for a commercial to sell prostate cancer to kids. Brilliance.

In light of people in the BSG fandom going spoiler-phobic crazy, grandfromage reminds us, in a comment here I don't consider a guest star to be a spoiler... it's not exactly a plot point.

Note: in that entry there is a mention of someone guest starring on a future Season 2 episode of Battlestar Galactica. If you are all "ZOMG! GUEST STARZ = SPOILERS! DIENOW!" don't click it.
