IT'S THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING HURRICANE SEASON! Wouldn't right now be a pretty good time to find out who screwed up, how they screwed up, and get them the hell out of the loop?

4. Now is exactly the time to politicize this and put the blame on those
who failed NOLA. You know who they are.

Play the Hurricane Katrina Blame Game! Get your family out of New Orleans and away from one this century's greatest disasters! Naturally, it's a board game and a roll of the dice can determine whether you live on high or low ground. Another roll of the dice can determine whether you are disabled or elderly. Another roll of the dice can determine if you own a vehicle. Numerous penalty cards - "oops! you're black and poor - retreat to the Convention Center." Also reward cards -"you're in luck - your company car will evacuate you from the Ritz. Go out the back door quietly without drawing attention to yourself. Advance 200 miles." Hope you don't land on a FEMA square where you have to forfeit three rounds. There are two tracks to make it out of New Orleans - one leads to the Astrodome where the winners can pick up cards with Barbara Bush on the front and the words "Congratulations! It's working out well, collect $2000.00" on the back. The other track leads to the morgue. Game over.

6. Yeah, that about says it all.
Let's see, other rules.

If you are a Dem Mayor or Governor, you get to call Washington DC and ask for help, roll the dice to see what comes when you do. If you roll a two, congratulations, some Canadians will get right to you! If you roll 7 or 11 you will be blamed for not rolling the dice earlier. If you roll a six, your request for national guard from other states will be held up in Washington for four more days. If you roll any other combination, you have to roll again and again until you get 2,7,11,or 6.

7. When Richard Dawson comes out of retirement
I think the "Blame Game" could be a big hit if Charles Nelson Reilly, Elayne Joyce, Arte Johnson, and Jaye P. Morgan could somehow be involved.

Maybe have a giant neon "Blame Board". And beneath it a bright red 2006 Mustang GT rotating on a turntable.

I think I've got a million-dollar idea here.

8. Not until they can say, "That's old news."
The way it usually works, anyway.
