Shortly after President Bush's arrival, he made an impromptu speech to rescue workers gathered in New Orleans:
"I can hear you, the rest of the world hears you, and the hurricane that knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon! Freedom and fear are at war. I will not forget this wound to our country or the low pressure weather pattern that inflicted it. I will not yield. I will not rest. Mother Nature, bring it on!"
Later, under a half-submerged banner that read "Mission Accomplished", the President announced plans to invade the Pacific Ocean, even though Hurricane Katrina originated in the Atlantic and gained strength in the Gulf of Mexico.

"shark, why dont you move to North Korea."
Steve, why don't you have a 'question mark' on your keyboard?
But no, seriously -- thanks for the travel suggestions, but I don't believe they sell Shiner Bock over there.

Swine Before Pearls:

"did bush abuse u as a child?"
Damn, at least abuse me with something creative and original.

Anyone who uses 'u' in place of 'you' should be dragged down the street in a spiked barrel and then buried in moldy cheese.
Sharky, I will share my Shiner with you when the intelligent folks show up to crucify you. Until then, zee beer is mine.

Yeah...so that joke about attacking the pacific...you're about a day late on that, Jon Stewart used it Tuesday. and its good to see you've all been stewing over the election for the past 5 years, this will all be a lot less satisfying when you finally get over it. I laughed inside when I read your blog but only over the amount of energy you all waste in crying about how come the rest of the country should agree with you.
Does anyone else think that instead of making fun of the president in such a somber time, we should be lending support to those whose lives have been taken away? Would they rather know you were writing blogs of support or ridicule? I guess when you've got a chip on your shoulder, there's politics in everything, even tragedy.

Shark, I have a minifridge full of Shiner at my pool, but since you refuse to admit you live just down the street from me in your dayglo tye-dye camper I'm not going to invite you over to share any.

I honestly think you two would make great friends in real life, if only because you're such great enemies on here. I see some similiarities between the two of you that might cross past politics.
I think you're both about the same age too.
That is all.

I do too. Shark and I are brothers from two different mothers. But he's the old, old one with the funky looking hair.

I haven't seen the Daily Show is weeks.
Oh well... great minds... etc. etc.
Cameron: "I guess when you've got a chip on your shoulder..."
BUZZZZTTTTT!
Sorry, that flaccid cliche is in third place behind "move to Korea" and "were you abused as a child?"
re: "a chip" on Shark's shoulder; dude, I've draggin' around the friggin' Rock of Gibralter.

re: Dave + Shark:
Everybody loves me! I'm a blast in person!
Besides, most of my friends and acquaintances are right-wing GOP rednecks -- since I live in Texas -- and that's all we have here -- aside from a few thousand housed in a Concentration Camp for Liberals called "Austin."

Aha, so Shark DOES admit he lives in the paisley-painted jetstream down the road from me!

Woman's intuition, I thought you might be from Texas; envisoned you being one of those rambling souls, walking the Guadalupe St. bridge (Austin), watching the bats fly, brown bag in hand...but then you burst my bubble. *Pop!*
I have to admit...this is good: :)
