ChevyVanMiller Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 Am I the only one who has had these lyrics going through his mind the past 24 hours? My heart goes out to the tens of thousands of people displaced by Katrina. Tragically Hip Lyrics New Orleans Is Sinking Lyrics Alright! Bourbon blues on the street, loose and complete Under skies all smoky blue green I can't forsake a dixie dead shake So we danced the sidewalk clean My memory is muddy What's this river that I'm in? New Orleans is sinking man And I don't wanna swim Colonel Tom, what's wrong? what's going on? You can't tie yourself up for a deal He said, Hey north you're south shut your big mouth, You gotta do what you feel is real Ain't got no picture postcards, ain't got no souvenirs My baby, she don't know me when I'm thinking bout those years Pale as a light bulb hanging on a wire Sucking up to someone just to stoke the fire Picking out the highlights of the scenery Saw a little cloud that looked a little like me I had my hands in the river My feet back up on the banks Looked up to the lord above And said, hey man thanks Sometimes I fell so good, I gotta scream She said Gordie baby I know exactly what you mean She said, she said, I swear to god she said My memory is muddy What's this river that I'm in? New Orleans is sinking man and I don't wanna swim Swim!

ch19079 Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 A million acres of wetlands that used to protect the area have been destroyed over the years thanks to those levees. 422744[/snapback] people really do underestimate the value of wetlands. that said, people will be people. developing and trying to contain nature. the mississippi river mouth helps make that state the most polluted state in america. the mississippi river is a HUGE part of a VERY LARGE economy, for both the state and america. i know the US governement will buy ANY land in the flood plain of the mississippi river, just to take down the house, and restore the land. but people are people, and nothing will change that.

Mike in Syracuse Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 Eat This Monkey. Article #1 Still can't get over the 2000 election when Fox flipped Florida to Bush, huh? 422720[/snapback] Is it possible for you to post without a GB reference? This is about the third I've seen this morning. Look, if you've got some homoerotic, conservative or religious hard on for the guy please keep it to yourself. Not everyone believes he's the messiah. Now on to the news at hand! If martial law hasn't been declared in NO then wtf are they waiting for?? If you're enough of a dirtbag to loot in during a tragedy of this magnitude then a 5.56 in the head is about all the justice you deserve.
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 A N.O. tv station has a mention of martial law and hasn't retracted it.http://www.wwltv.com/local/stories/WWLBLOG.ac3fcea.html 422703[/snapback] And they also spelled it "marshal" law.

Look, if you've got some homoerotic, conservative or religious hard on for the guy please keep it to yourself. Not everyone believes he's the messiah. 422796[/snapback] And not everyone wants to hear these LOSERS, who have been whining for years after the fact, associate anything with conservatism as pure evil. Until it stops, I will continue to rub in the fact that Republicans WON and Democrats LOST.

Article #1 Still can't get over the 2000 election when Fox flipped Florida to Bush, huh? 422720[/snapback] No. I voted for Bush in both elections (and threw up in disgust - but I did vote for him). FoxSnooze is just bull sh--.

If it makes you feel better, Dan Rather sucks too.
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 they did it in spongebob when the alaska bull worm threatened Bikini Bottom, all the town folk moved the city, unbeknownst to Sandy and Spongebob who were busy wrangling the critter over the same cliff that overlooked the valley where they moved bikini bottom, needless to say it was not a pretty sight 422616[/snapback] Ah, spongebob...a cartoon character that changed the world. Christ, people...go donate some money to the Red Cross or Salvation Army or something. Stop arguing about this meaningless sh-- and go do something useful.

If it makes you feel better, Dan Rather sucks too. 422808[/snapback] Cute name calling. But anyway, you accused Fox of "jumping the gun" on a story which they simply just scooped everyone else on, just like "Florida goes to Bush in 2000" or "Ohio goes to Bush in 2004." I can only assume that those "scoops" drive libs crazy. Fox News is #1 for a reason, and making crap up isn't one of them. But anyway again, this isn't the right thread to be talking about that.
