Water is currently rolling and spilling over the New Orleans industrial canal's west side, but Hurricane Gustav, thank fortune, has been downgraded from category 3 to category 2, and it's starting to look like it won't quite be a Roland Emmerich disaster film. (Thirty years ago the term would have been "an Irwin Allen disaster film.") The worst of the storm will happen within the next couple of hours, but some are guardedly sensing that this won't be Katrina 2. You can almost -- almost -- detect a slight tone of disappointment in the voices of the cable newscasters covering this thing.

Yeah! NOLA seems to have been spared.
The characters in I'VE LOVED YOU SO LONG talk about their maid (whom we never see) but humorously is referred to as "Katrina" because she breaks everything. Down in Louisiana we would call that little piece of information: lagniappe.

So what's today's insane conspiracy circle jerkoff going to be, that Mom had Bristol's baby while Bristol was having Mom's baby?

This Palin chick is a goldmine of distraction from the real issues. Good job Republicans.

No conspiracy story this time, just confirmation that the Palins have more in common with the Spears family than most evangelicals would like to think...
While I respect their choice to keep the baby and marry, you gotta admit it increases the flakiness factor by a magnitude of ten. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think most people would consider a seventeen year old HS student from a devout christian family getting knocked up to be a failure of a sort.
