Bush is out of his tiny !_)@*#@& mind

[Bush] defended the federal government's response so far to the growing crisis amid urgent pleas for help from stranded victims.

He said the breach of the levees that led to the submerging of much of New Orleans had not been anticipated.

Oh, yeah? Then what about FEMA very clearly anticipating it, you simple minded gimboid?

What a fucking idiot.

Big Time Important: Radio Nosferatu goes to work

Specifically, people, it's time to put Radio Nosferatu to work helping raise money and materials for the poor souls down on the Gulf Coast. I know a lot of folks aren't going to be around this weekend because of Labor Day, but both this weekend, next weekend and probably a few weekends after that I'm going to be helping get info out there, raise as I said money and materials for the hurricane victims, and try and raise spirits a little.

Besides the obvious I need from you folks, I also need the word spread about the shows, this weekend obviously but especially next weekend after Labor Day. The more people I can get this information and fund/material raising out to, the better. I'm not doing this as some kind of publicity stunt for the station, I seriously want to help and this is the best way I know how. I'm also gathering stuff around here to send, as well so I'm very literally putting my money where my big ol' mouth is.

More info later.

Of the people, by the people and for the people my ass

Give 'em hell, Jack:

An obviously angry Jack Cafferty on CNN:

I'm 62, I remember the riots in Watts, I remember the earthquake in San Francisco, I remember a lot of things--I have never, ever seen anything as badly bungled and poorly handled as this situation in New Orleans. Where the hell is the water for these people? Why can't sandwiches be dropped to those people in that Superdome down there? This is Thursday! This is Thursday! This storm happened five days ago. It's a disgrace, and don't think the world isn't watching. This is the government the taxpayers are paying for and it's fallen right flat on its face, in the way its handled this thing.

Convention Center Update:

CNN:

It's hard to describe. It's something I never could conceive of ever seeing in a major city like New Orleans. It is hard to believe. This is New Orleans Louisiana we ware talking about. We spent the last few hours at the convention center where There are thousands of people just laying in the street. They have nowhere to go. These are mothers. We saw mothers. We talked to mothers holding babies. Some of these babies are 3, 4, 5, months old living in these horrible conditions. Putrid food on the ground. Sewage, their feet sitting in sewage. We saw feces on the ground. These people are being forced to live like animals. When you look at some of these mothers your heart just breaks. We're not talking about a few families or a few hundred families. Thousands of people are gathered around the convention center.

Scott McClellan:

That's why we have a massive effort underway to continue getting food and water and ice to those who are in need. There are ways for them to get that help.

THEN WHERE THE HELL IS IT, YOU BALD-PATED JACKASS?

On an entirely more pleasant subject

I made up a team for my hometown of Corydon, except I replaced the Carolina Panthers so there wouldn't be two Panthers teams in the game. Hey, it made sense to me at the time. Anyway, I ran a fantasy draft and behind the cut is the second starting lineup (Already been through one season, went 14 and 2 with a Superbowl win. The only player I lost was Junior Seau to retirement):
