FEMA Under Fire Again, Now for Rita Effort

FEMA's Brown Was Warned Early of Shortages

White House expects 3rd quarter slowdown

Not a good day for The Bush or his party.

I don't play... but Steve-O does. You gotta see this! I guess once a jackass always a jackass!

This little story was prompted by waiterrant!

Server/urban legend I thought till it happened to me. Working late one New Years Eve, I had stayed late at the hotel to help the banquet staff clean up. In the process I spilled/dumped a large quantity of various left over drinks on me and my shoes. It's two am and I'm heading home and what do I see before me but a sobriety check point. The only drink I had that night was a quick glass of champ shared with a few other managers to ring in the New Year. Knowing I was sober I felt only a mild wave of panic. Once I rolled down the window I could actually hear the cop sniffing the air and poof... I'm prancing along side of the car doing the drunken pony show. I tried to explain why I smelt like Norm on a weekend drunk but... well they had heard that before. Three cops, two pony shows and finally a request for a breathalyzer earned me a warning to bring a change of clothes next time! To this day, in my trunk, is an extra set of beat around clothes, just in case!

The 200-foot-long toy rabbit lies on the side of the 5,000 foot high Colletto Fava mountain in northern Italy's Piedmont region.

Viennese art group Gelatin designed the giant soft toy and say it was "knitted by dozens of grannies out of pink wool".

Group member Wolfgang Gantner said: "It's supposed to make you feel small, like Gulliver. You walk around it and you can't help but smile."

And Gelatin members say the bunny is not just for walking around - they are expecting hikers to climb its 20 foot sides and relax on its belly.

The giant rabbit is expected to remain on the mountain side until 2025. 

Police rescue man from home with 200 rats: "The call to the police came in at 1 a.m. Thursday and sounded like a supermarket tabloid headline.

A man in the small Iron Range town of Gilbert was being eaten alive in his home by rats"

You Can Tell It's Going To Be A Rotten Day When...

1. You wake up facedown on the pavement.

2. You put your bra on backward and it fits better.

3. You call suicide prevention and they put you on hold.

4. You see a 60 minutes team waiting in your office.

5. You want to put on the clothes you wore home from the party and they aren't there.

6. You turn on the news and they're showing emergency routes out of the city.

7. You wake up to discover your waterbed has broken, then remember you don't have a waterbed.

8. Your car horn goes off accidentally and remains stuck as you follow a group of Hell's Angels down the motorway.

9. Your wife wakes up feeling amorous and you have a headache.

10. Your boss tells you not to bother taking off your coat.

11. You wake up and your braces are locked together.

12. Your blind date turns out to be your ex-wife.

13. You put both contact lenses in the same eye.

14. Your wife says, 'Good morning, Bill' and your name is George. "

So you have a little extra time on your hands? Here is a place to waste it and get a few chuckles.

Dribbleglass.com--Strange Sex Laws, Weird Funny Laws About Sex and Sexuality: "In Minnesota, it is illegal for any man to have sexual intercourse with a live fish."

I'm scared to think this was ever a problem.

Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo: this put a smile on my face this morning, kinda like the end credits to Grummpy Old Men!

Oddly Enough News Article | Reuters.com: "DELRAN, New Jersey (Reuters) - Somewhere along the mudflats of a Delaware River tributary in New Jersey is the spot where baseball's 'magic mud' is mined, a location known only to a few and kept secret for decades.

The unique mud is rubbed on every new baseball used by Major League teams to remove the sheen, soften the seams and give pitchers a better grip."

Magic mud... sounds like a fairytail to me. I imagine a guy digging a hole in the backyard with the garden hose nearby, laughing all the way to the bank.

Oddly Enough News Article | Reuters.com: "SYDNEY (Reuters) - An Australian man built up a 40,000-volt charge of static electricity in his clothes as he walked, leaving a trail of scorched carpet and molten plastic and forcing firefighters to evacuate a building."

I'm glade I wasn't there to shake his hand!

Remember when I said I was proud for a moment of our president... uuummm forget about it!
(If you can't read what he wrote it is Bush to Rice, "I think I may need a bathroom break. Is this possible?", let's hope his weewee does not get caught in his zipper!)

Carrie and I went for a walk at Harret Island today, it was Monarch Butterfly heaven!

Idiot of the week!

Bush takes the blame for Katrina failures: "'To the extent the federal government didn't fully do its job right, I take responsibility,''"

Bravo, Bravo Mr. Bush you have proved me wrong twice with those words.

The first way you proved me wrong, is that I never thought you would take responsibility for anything remotely negative.

Second way you proved me wrong is that you are not the idiot I thought you where. You knew the only way to confront the overwhelming proof of the incompetence of the federal response was to take a body shot and fess up.

I for a very brief moment could say that "I was proud of my president." If only it could last.

Oddly Enough News Article | Reuters.com: "Judging from the number of military and police vehicles which stopped or slowed passing Big Daddy's, they'll have plenty of customers. It didn't seem to occur to the men in uniform to enforce the evacuation order in effect on the city -- they preferred to ask when the strippers would be back."

woohoo... the first business's to reopen or want to are bars and strip clubs. Vice Rules!

Ziggy and a visting friend. The little white one is named poopers, Carrie found him abandoned by the apartment and brought him home for a short while. Poopers headed to the Humane Society last friday. I love animals and he was very cute but four cats... is one to many. On to other news Carrie and I are moving at the end of October to a 2+ bedroom house in south Minneapolis, near Minnehaha falls. Work at the new hotel is great, long hours till I get things fixed, but I'm loving it.

Today we remember and pray.

This is drivers ed the way it should be taught!

FOXNews.com - U.S. & World - Bush Declares State of Emergency: "CRAWFORD, Texas — President Bush declared a state of emergency in Louisiana (search) on Saturday because of the approach of Hurricane Katrina (search) and his spokesman urged residents along the coast to heed authorities' advice to evacuate.

Bush, vacationing at his ranch, was being regularly updated about the storm, which is expected to hit land early Monday, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.

Officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency continue to coordinate with state authorities in Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama, and have prepositioned supplies in areas expected to be affected, he said.


The president's emergency declaration authorizes the FEMA to coordinate all disaster relief efforts and to provide appropriate assistance in a number of Louisiana parishes, or counties."

mmmm...president's emergency declaration authorizes the FEMA to coordinate all disaster relief efforts.

I imagine all the pro Bush idiots with their fingers in their ears chanting...nah...nah...nah... I can't hear you.

Good bye little buddy... you where a dear friend when I was a kid.

DHS | Department of Homeland Security | Emergencies & Disasters: "Emergencies & Disasters
Preparing America

In the event of a terrorist attack, natural disaster or other large-scale emergency, the Department of Homeland Security will assume primary responsibility on March 1st for ensuring that emergency response professionals are prepared for any situation. This will entail providing a coordinated, comprehensive federal response to any large-scale crisis and mounting a swift and effective recovery effort. The new Department will also prioritize the important issue of citizen preparedness. Educating America's families on how best to prepare their homes for a disaster and tips for citizens on how to respond in a crisis will be given special attention at DHS." ...The National Response Plan provides mechanisms for expedited and proactive Federal support to ensure critical life-saving assistance and incident containment capabilities are in place to respond quickly and efficiently to catastrophic incidents. These are high-impact, low-probability incidents, including natural disasters and terrorist attacks that result in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the population, infrastructure, environment, economy, national morale, and/or government functions...

For those who keep saying that Bush and the administratin is the last to be blamed I give you... The Dept. Of Homeland Security, which FEMA is part of. Created by Bush, it was they who should have been coordinating the response, and who do they report too, the Bush. Don't get me wrong there was failure on the local scale too, but they where stuck in the middle of the disaster and had little to no resources left to work with.

Go here for a laugh or reality check, your choice. Warning this is funny and deals with the devastation of Katrina. If you are offended by such, don't go. I'm sorry if some find the pic in the last post offensive, but this is my blog.

Bush's first offer of aide to Katrina victims...

Oddly Enough News Article | Reuters.com: "Around 385,000 people had applied to compete in this year's municipal contest, which offers just 1,200 openings with a monthly salary of about $210, transport coupons, food stamps, a healthcare plan --"

There is a job for ya... and to qualify you must run a 1.2 mile foot race.

Warning, lap dances are dangerous to your health!

FAZED - Comments: "Oh the best one was we were at a McDonalds on a road trip. I was about 16 and we are sitting at a booth across from these a little boy and girl, their mom is in line. And my Dad is like 'Hi how are you? This is my boy he was little like you guys once.'

The girl is about to say something and the boy goes 'No Sarah he is a stranger don't talk to strangers.'

My dad hears this and think of Grinch smiling. It was that big and evil.

He goes in a kind of sing song voice 'Yes I am a Strange Stranger! Such an Oh so strange stranger!! Look out! its the strange stranger comin to get ya! People are strange when your a stranger' he starts into the Door's People are Strange song and the two little kids are bugged eyed in terror.

My dad kinda winks and goes back to eating.

The mom comes over with her kids happy meals and my dad says 'You have such well behaved and good kids.'

The little boy flips out and goes 'Muh muh MOM don't talk to him he is a strange stranger coming to get you!!'

She looks at her kid and is like 'Billy what did I say about interrupting adults when they are talking that is it!' and she takes the kid to the bathroom and spanks him.

I couldn't stop laughing. Oh man that was great. "

LMFAO... my dad would do shit like that. Above comment borrowed from a forum relating to this! Enjoy, evil parents.
