Bush blames hurricane Charley on Al Queda

Just kidding, but it seemed believable enough for you to take a look, huh?

it's just insensitive and dumb.

my PARENTS are in the path of this thing. LOTS of DUers are worried SICK right now about their loved ones.

NOT FUNNY. you should delete it.

I think it was funny and I have friends in its path - but you know it wasn't Al Qadea's fault it was Bill Clinton's fault!

i'm NOT in the mood

your parents will be all right and I'm sure they will be - as I'm sure my friends will be too - and then your mood will improve. Hang in there.

It's completely useless, especially in crisis situations.

What we need at times like this is to be completely serious and overly worried. Please, think of the people who have family there.

This thing has already decimated the entire population of Cuba, killing three whole people.

Whatever was I thinking by attempting to diffuse the tension.

:silly:

be the first to make a joke about it. Folks are way too worried about sensitivity, and some humor helps. Maybe even "is required".

And, after all, if folks are that worried about their relatives and all, then why are they reading DU today? I'm worried too, I haven't heard from any of them, but can only assume they were too busy battening down the hatches and getting out of Dodge to call lil' ol' me.

I hope and pray that everyone gets through this storm safely. Sometimes it doesn't seem that bad to be living in Michigan....but...come January.... I will wish I was a little further south...

Once he appears in FL with all his federal bail-out money, watch them spin it. WOW.

Fort Myers, Fl.- As floridians shelter themselves while Hurricane Charley makes landfall this afternoon, the local witch population is particularly concerned. Their demographic is typically hit very hard following large windstorms.

A witch who would identify herself only as "Glenda" talked to reporters this morning while waiting in line at a hardware store. "Yes, well," she trilled, "I'm mostly stocking up on plywood, a shopvac, and some very large brooms. This helmet I'm wearing I picked up at a sporting goods store earlier. You can never be to prepared. Witches always have to be careful in this day and age. It used to be this sort of thing happened to wicked witches. Now no witches are safe. Luckily, I'm fully paid on house insurance."
