Way To Go, God!!!

The paradox of writing a frivolous humor blog is that there come moments, and you pray that they will not, but they come, moments so horrible that you seem callous if you ignore them and even more callous if you try to find the humor in them too quickly. I think you know what I'm talking about: Jason dumping Jessica over the phone on Laguna Beach Monday night.

AGGGH GOD why am I SUCH an ASShole????

No, I'm referring of course to the unfathomably awful events taking place in New Orleans and Mississippi right now. Not to make this all about me but I was supposed to fly to New Orleans tomorrow for my first time, a long planned weekend of partying and sightseeing. Instead we get what the evil geniuses at Wonder Showzen -- perhaps the only people qualified to find the humor in this situation -- would call one of 'God's Favorite Boner's'. Scratch that, this is God spoojing all over some hooker's back and throwing a fifty on the bed seconds before slamming the door behind him.

"Way to go, God!!!"

The television news coverage makes me want to simultaneously cry and puke, and that's just the CNN anchor commentary. The night the storm hit, this bonehead:   (his name is Tony Harris, I spent fifteen minutes on CNN.com trying to find him) had this to say after a weatherwoman explained the dynamics of the deadly monster about to destroy the lives of millions:

"I LOVE those graphics!!!"

He was referring to three spiraling sets of unimpressive red arrows on a map of the Southern US. When his co-anchor tried to change the subject, he said it again.

"No REALLY! I really LOVE those graphics! Those are NEAT!!"

THEY SURE ARE, TONY!!! THEENKS!!!
