Hurricane season starts June 1. If one heads for NoLa I suggest they strap JinDoll to a post on Chandeleur Sound.
Jindall has a point: if America simply did as God commanded we wouldn’t need to worry about volcanoes or hurricanes or plagues of locusts, now, would we?
Based on how much federal money went into Katrina I think Jindal owes me money about $50.
Carrie_Okie: What are you talkin’ ’bout, child? No Natural Disaster has ever hit N’awlins!
Piyush means stfu in Hindi.
Monitoring volcanoes? That’s just silly, isn’t it Miss Lemon?
I thought the Jindal thing would be something NEW that he said after that volcano eruption. For that paper to write a whole article on something he said back in Feb sounds kind of odd. And I think the man was an idiot in that February speech, but bringing it up like a new point isn’t really fair to him.
“Child Ironist”, intern Juli? How exactly does one apply for that job or the job of holding the children down?
Went to the Hill’s twitter think. Unfortunately I couldn’t read Michele Bachmann’s because she had “too many tweets” whatever that means. But Zach Wamps was worth reading. Here’s a gem:
“# Wow, over 1000 followers on Twitter. People are coming to us in droves. One said today “Zach Wamp has leadership that money can’t buy”.3:23 PM Mar 11th from TwitterBerry”
Zach Wamp is the new Britany Spears!!!
meg9: My thoughts exactly. He may be a child ironist but he did that particular irony a loooong time ago. I kept clicking the link thinking I MUST be missing something.
Hey everyone, remember how Ireland had really low corporate taxes and so was McCain’s idea of a bright and better tomorrow - looks like they should have had some higher taxes. As the joke goes, what’s the difference between Ireland and Iceland? One letter and 6 months.
The Red Cross report wasn’t all that bad.
And by “bad”, I mean in comparison to how Haliburton treated female contractors.
David Vitter has “too many tweets” too. That’s too bad. I wanted to see if Vitter sends coded messages to his fellow diaper fetishists.
Finally got through to Vitter Twitter. Here’s his last message:
DavidVitter
1. I introduced a resolution for April 15 to be National TEA Party Day-More details at http://www.DavidVitter.com/TeaParty1:24 PM Apr 3rd from web
eastcoastliberal: Yes. Strange.
meg9: Yeah, I was kind of confused as to why something that happened a month and a half ago is suddenly news again.
[Yet another verse of my on-going tribute to the great Rudyard K.?]
JINDAL DIN!
The volcano gases played,
Round the holes young Bobby made
In the budget NASA had for atmospherics.
But what’s one disaster more (or less)
When keeping score
Of the ruin that Bob’s making of the planet?
As the water levels rise,
‘Cause of global warming’s highs,
Our Bobby still stands firm in his position:
No More Dikes! (Or was it “dykes”?) Either way, they’re
Just Not Nice.
Anyway, The Flood is Jesus’s Retribution.
Jindal! Jindal! Jindal!
What the HELL you doing now?
Sons of Shiva just don’t get the works of science!
Stick to exorcising ghosts, or dealing out the Hosts
Like crackers to the Crackers, on the
Bayou!
As a recent transplant to Alaska, I’ve discovered a fun incongruity: people here know who Jindal is, and he’s dragging Sarah Palin down in the local eye. Lower 48 democrats are wise to use Palin as a distraction, but up here, Governor Jindal is a great boogeyman. Every damn time that stupid volcano explodes, people mention that the twisted Republican party would let us all die in the name of tax cuts for 3rd blonde wives. Viva la Jindal!
meg9: EndlessMike: Fair to him? Do you think he deserves being treated differently than other politicians? His words referred to a problem that is continuing to grow worse, as now that volcano has put a halt to some oil production in Alaska. Do you think Jindal changed his mind?
I can tell you that Bobby hasn’t. I’ve known him since 1984. I spent all day in classes with him for four years. We were in almost every class together. He hasn’t changed his mind about Republican bullshit since he was a young teenager. Don’t you think it’s time we showed the world how fucked up his mind is? How is it better to poke a little fun at him and then let him keep being a nutcase?
iwillsavethispatient: I’ve been waiting for someone to bring this up. Thank you. All the shit he said was great about Ireland is what has fucked it. But who cares. We’re orangemen, anyway.
If the Bush admin’s records on torture are made public, the Rs are threatening to go “nukular.”
So why the fuck not let them? Who cares? Like this is going to be a PR loss for the Dems if they push transparency?
DustBowlBlues: Hear, hear - make the ReThugs defend this shit in public, and ignore their threats in private…
Yo, Bobby J - ask the Eeytalians what they think about natural disasters, willya? If the lessons of hurricanes and volcanos don’t register with you, how about the RICHTER SCALE? Dear Dog (intended), this guy is out of touch, how symptomatic.
Poor Booby. He thought the $140 million was referring to the drink. http://gallery.photo.net/photo/4521333-lg.jpg
meg9: We so sorry. Furthermore, we shall never use the words “butt fucking” and “Larry Craig” in the same sentence again.
If the Feds were so good at predicting “disasters” would you please tell me why they never warned us about George Bush before he was elected?
Neilist: Your Rudyard is great, but the subject matter may be more suitable for Gilber & Sullivan. Give it a try.
It’s “Piyush” Jindal - not “Bobby.”
We need to start getting this right.
I think his middle name is” Beelezebub”. That’s where the “Bobby” comes from.
Surely with Sarah Palin’s emphasis on abstinence education, their are plenty of virgins in Alaska and we don’t have to rely on science when it comes to volcanoes.
It would be fitting and ironic, if the Iraqis elected the shoe-thrower guy as their next president. He’d get my vote.
I am glad to see Muqtadar Al-Saidi got a reduced sentence. I would like to see him become Prime Minister of Iraq some day. Oh, I see proudcitizen just said that.
At to Governor Djinn Doll, Piyush him into the Kalpen.
THIS IS WHY I LOVE YOU GUYS! I tried seeing what sort of humor was up in the comments at the new Fox Nation, and guess what…there’s none! No fun! I’d rather have bling and talk about how utterly retarded Bobby Jindal is! BOO YA!
