Not a good sign, considering they were all assassinated.
They forgot Uncle Remus, Bre'r Bear, Bre'r Rabbit, Aunt Jemimah,
Carl Marx, Adi Amin, and Col. Sanders.
Mike D.: Not a good sign, considering they were all assassinated.
JC: Yes, but on the other hand it shines light on the side of right.
And Gustov ironically showed up for the other.

Dear God,
The other night, the Rev. James Dobson's ministry asked all believers to
pray for a storm on Thursday night so that the Obama acceptance speech
outdoors in Denver would have to be cancelled. I see that You have
answered Rev. Dobson's prayers -- except the storm You have sent to
earth is not over Denver, but on its way to New Orleans! In fact, You
have scheduled it to hit Louisiana at exactly the moment that George W.
Bush is to deliver his speech at the Republican National Convention.
Now, heavenly Father, we all know You have a great sense of humor and
impeccable timing. To send a hurricane on the third anniversary of the
Katrina disaster AND right at the beginning of the Republican Convention
was, at first blush, a stroke of divine irony. I don't blame You, I know
You're angry that the Republicans tried to blame YOU for Katrina by
calling it an "Act of God" -- when the truth was that the hurricane
itself caused few casualties in New Orleans. Over a thousand people died
because of the mistakes and neglect caused by humans, not You. Some of
us tried to help after Katrina hit, while Bush ate cake with McCain and
twiddled his thumbs. I closed my office in New York and sent my entire
staff down to New Orleans to help. I asked people on my website to
contribute to the relief effort I organized -- and I ended up sending
over two million dollars in donations, food, water, and supplies
(collected from thousands of fans) to New Orleans while Bush's FEMA ice
trucks were still driving around Maine three weeks later. But this past
Thursday night, the Washington Post reported that the Republicans had
begun making plans to possibly postpone the convention. The AP had
reported that there were no shelters set up in New Orleans for this
storm, and that the levee repairs have not been adequate. In other
words, as the great Ronald Reagan would say, "There you go again!" So
the last thing John McCain and the Republicans needed was to have a
split-screen on TVs across America: one side with Bush and McCain
partying in St. Paul, and on the other side of the screen, live footage
of their Republican administration screwing up once again while New
Orleans drowns.
So, yes, You have scared the Jesus, Mary and Joseph out of them, and
more than a few million of your followers tip their hats to You. But now
it appears that You haven't been having just a little fun with Bush &
Co. It appears that Hurricane Gustav is truly heading to New Orleans and
the Gulf coast. We hear You, O Lord, loud and clear, just as we did when
Rev. Falwell said You made 9/11 happen because of all those gays and
abortions. We beseech You, O Merciful One, not to punish us again as Pat
Robertson said You did by giving us Katrina because of America's
"wholesale slaughter of unborn children." His sentiments were echoed by
other Republicans in 2005.
So this is my plea to you: Don't do this to Louisiana again. The
Republicans got your message. They are scrambling and doing the best
they can to get planes, trains and buses to New Orleans so that everyone
can get out. They haven't sent the entire Louisiana National Guard to
Iraq this time -- they are already patrolling the city streets. And, in
a nod to I don't know what, Bush's head of FEMA has named a man to help
manage the federal government's response. His name is W. Michael Moore.
I kid you not, heavenly Father. They have sent a man with both my name
AND W's to help save the Gulf Coast.
So please God, let the storm die out at sea. It's done enough damage
already. If you do this one favor for me, I promise not to invoke your
name again. I'll leave that to the followers of Rev. Dobson and to those
gathering this week in St. Paul.
Your faithful servant and former seminarian, Michael Moore
