I've been waiting...
(Category: True Stories )

For somebody to say the devastation in New Orleans is God's punishment for their sins and depravity. I know it's coming. I know it's already been said somewhere, probably many somewheres, I've just been avoiding the places where it's most likely to happen so I've been able to miss it.

But eventually, somewhere, whether it's on the street, waiting in line at the store, in the break room or while out having a smoke, I'm going to hear those fateful words.

And then I'm going to punch that person right in the throat.

I'll hold your coat for you. Then you can hold mine while I kick the guy as he's on the ground.

Thanks, RP. That's mighty neighborly of you. :)

You're not kidding. And can you take out the looters while you're at it? Hundreds dead, and you've got some guy floating down the street with 10 pairs of jeans slung over his shoulder. Classy!

We could herd all the bastages with the punishment from god mindset into an arena and charge admission to watch Jim & RP whip some asses. Lets face it a public display of brutality always brings in cash. Then theres the concessions, we’d defiantly have to have cotton candy and Jimmy Burgers(tm).

Ticket and concession proceeds would of course benefit those affected by Katrina.

I actually made a joke about that on Monday, but then I realized someone might really say it in all seriousness, which made the joke no so much funny anymore. Also not making it funny was the fact that everything kept getting worse.

Lesson: Don't joke about a disaster until it's over and you know how tasteless your joke is.

You must have failed to read wetwired. You see, this Hurricane actually is caused by the United States, you see we brought this upon us. Yeah, and I have some ocean front property in kansas for you too...

I posted on my site about one organization making this claim, but it was recently brought to my attention that such comments are being made in other quarters as well.

This makes me sad. The mobs at the gas stations here yesterday also make me sad. There is much sadness about, and quite a bit of neck punching required.

Dude.... it's been out there already. The "Repent Now America" website is all over and upside of that junk, blaming the sinners for the hurricane.
