Katrina Disaster

Goddamn. It's like I'm having a discussion with a bad pirate movie. You're not Sicilian by any chance, are you?

Of course I don't know when hurricane season ends! Why the hell would I?! I know vaguely that it's over sometime about the end of October, but I live in Iowa!

When does hail season end? You don't know! My God, your next statement will be some sort of grand diversion from the fact that you don' t know when it can and can't hail in the midwest! HA HA! I've got you now!



Do you even listen to yourself, man? Does that little filter in your brain work? You know, the one that says "Hey, don't say that, you'll only sound like an ass...."

Darkness, you're showing early symptoms of MHSR. ("Make Him See Reason" Syndrome.) Is there someone you can call who lives nearby and can talk you down in person?

You are addressing a man who, if you attempt to make him admit that there were widespread worker abuses during the Industrial Age by naming some famous examples, will reply that those are "isolated examples." If you take the next twenty minutes googling dozens more examples, he will either disappear for a while and pop up in another topic, or he will say something like "Facts are irrelevent to truth," and you'll be tempted to scoop out your eyes with a plastic grapefruit fork.

I first became aware of amicus during the build-up to the Iraq war (that place where America keeps the resources we might have used for recovering from disasters, securing our borders against terrorism, etc.). In an attempt to show that Bush's expression of shock over the gassing of the Kurds was a pile of cow-patty, I posted a link to White House documents released under the Freedom of Information Act that traced the Reagan/Bush administration's efforts to shield Saddam from a U.N. censure for using nerve gas on Iranians at his northern border (an act that is coolly referred to in the administration's internal communications as "potentially embarrassing.")

Your boy Smoove A wasn't fooled for a minute. He recognized my hatred of America and accused me of having created those documents as part of my work as a mole at Literotica.

I still grin when I imagine the meeting where us Liberals put this on our agenda: infiltrate the Authors Hangout to corrupt the morals of porn writers.

:D

Those were good times. But it hasn't all been fun and games, Darkness. I'll never get back the weeks I spent forging and doctoring hundreds of White House communications.

Darkness, there is no shame in backing down now. Most of us have been there; we'll understand. If you can't stop reasoning with amicus on your own, find a distraction with a more powerful allure, such as a heroin or crack addiction.

If you don't stop now, you could end up quoting Heritage Foundation science on global warming.

This is a must read article, imo, from the Washington Post: article link

If this article is accurate, and it seems to be fairly well documented, then everyone fucked up on every level, Republicans and Democrats alike.

You get it on me, you pay my dry cleaning bill.

FYI, there's a meeting scheduled next month to revise the Liberal Agenda, but we're having trouble getting a quorum. If anyone is interested, it's in the Gay Agenda conference room at the United Nations.

A good article, but it raised as many questions for me as it answered. There are a lot of anecdotes floating around and many official statements about efforts being blocked and help being turned away -- along with some new ones inthe article I hadn't seen before.

One thing that is fairly clear is that even before Katrina destroyed much of the communications there wasn't much communicating going on.

Can we forge more documents? Can we, huh?
