I.never.make.these.lists...oh, woe is me.

Ha.

What? Of other bloggers posting on something? You can always leave a comment or send me a note.

"There's no way I'll be watching this on FOX. I like to hear what officials have to say, not look at some gloryhound reporter standing in the wind."

You're joking, right? CBS invented the "gloryhound reporter"! No one could ever top Dan Rather chaining himself to a tree during hurricane Carla. They're all annoying. Because they have a microphone they're somehow more qualified to stay in the storm than "regular" people?

Was it Carla he did that with, Hamous? He's had a few hurricane shenanigans.

Anyways, I prefer an informative official to a yahoo in a rain slicker.

That guy up in the attic praying for salvation... I've gotten some serious mileage out of that dope. Can you believe it?!

And... if the Dome was peeling at 140 and less MPH winds, holy crap, can you imagine if it had hit at a full 175? You know I'm going to end up talking to some structural engineers to find out how that thing probably would have come apart. I just gotta know...

I had my ESL students read it in class tonight. If you put that fellow in a pot and boiled him down, you'd have idiot stock.

I dunno, Donnah--I'da paid a couple of bucks to see that dog-walker tell that jackass Shephard to fuck off. The belly laugh might even have been worth a couple of hours of mind-numbing inanity.

I recall Shepard having his own little on-the-air slip-up.

While it might seem appropriate to ask other countries to come to the aid of the USA at this time of disaster it appears that the ability to do so may be relatively limited. Only the United Kingdom and Germany have offered so far. Also Japan offered some help with gas supplies.

Of those nations that we have recently helped with their own disasters, only India, Philippines, Indonesia, Bahamas, Cuba, Turkey, Malaysia, South Africa, Mexico, and Thailand might be sufficiently recovered to make an offer or repayment.

Certainly Somalia, Sri Lanka, N. Korea, Sudan, Angola, Chad, Lesotho, Swaziland, Congo, Grenada, Dominican Republic, Bangladesh, Jamaica, Albania, Senegal, Mauritania, Ethiopia, Pakistan, El Salvador, Kosovo, Mongolia, Yugoslavia, Rwanda and Haiti could hardly be recovered enough to "return the favor."

Denmark, France, Canada, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan are tops in the other nations for giving aid to other countries. Perhaps at least one of them will make an offer to us.

It would be admirable should the United Nations propose assistance but of course they would have to first ask the US for the money to fund it and then the committee meetings necessary for final approval will take time.

Willie Nelson and Barbara Streisand could give a charity concert in Beverly Hills where the Big Spenders live. Sean Penn might travel to the Gulf Coast to reassure the residents. Jane Fonda may turn her bus around and head back to New Orleans to deliver speeches attacking George Bush's failure to divert "Katrina." Possibly Martin Sheen could avoid being arrested long enough to help her. Jessie Jackson is terrific at raising money from big businesses and his tactics could be a big help to FEMA, should they care to adopt them. Robin Williams and Alan Alda both like to be out front in displays of morality, all they need is some catchy signboards. Louis Farrakhan has the ability to march millions of men, why not down to Louisiana and Mississippi to fill and place sand bags for levee repair? Hollywood and their friends should just jump on this issue since they are all so expert in gathering attention to their causes. Heck, Michael Moore could even do a documentary on them! I even have a title for him: "My Big Fat Blowhard".

My advice to these 'show boaters' is to "stand back and let the help pour in from people that truly care"!
