Laura Bush Discusses Jenna's Wedding During Burma Cyclone Disaster Press Conference Video
Editilla could'na put more icing on this cake if we'da
had a mile wide paddle. By such First Effetery one can well imagine how I have come to see the man-made disasters of New Orleans and Burma as opposite sides of the same coin tossed into the abyss, into the dark future of Freidmaniacle Shock Confusion.
I will never forget listening on the radio to her mother-in-law's wry assesement of hurricane evacuees in Houston while yer primal Editilla and the rest of the city was fighting for our goddamned worthless tax-payin lives--in the City that Care Forgot and her Beau Presidente Left for Dead! Down with these Elitists Pigs whether in Rangon or Washington.

Cooperative View: New Evidence Suggests A Symbiogenetic Origin For The Centrosome

In their paper, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the Alliegros give evidence that the centrosome evolved through symbiogenesis -- in which previously independent organisms fuse, become mutually dependent, and over time, become a single composite organism -- rather than by the evolutionary process of random, heritable mutations and natural selection.
~Editilla squillas~not too unlike yer'verdant Nola Blog'0'reamery!
As species evolution tends towards either habit or novelty, la'creme always rises to the top, like a tide of boisterous drunken quarked-up clowns in da'levee'breach.
Hence we shall lean to da'ladda ova da'forma and pun'ish those who would oppose us. Sinn Féin.

How did shooter get access to sea lions? Ask Exquixotic Corps!

~Thank you for an opportunity to respond to your questions about the security at Bonneville Lock and Dam. I know you can appreciate there is little I can say about how the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers protects a facility the size and complexity of Bonneville Dam.
[O'rilla? Might we appreciate how little you know?]
~The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers maintains several levels of security at its facilities designed to safeguard people and property. We are confident that the measures and procedures in place are sufficient to protect the critical structures at our facilities. We continuously monitor our security procedures to ensure the highest protection possible, and make changes as needed. In light of this incident, we are reviewing our procedures and make any necessary modifications.
[Now where have we heard that one before?]
~On May 3 or 4, 2008, we believe one or more persons gained access to Cascades Island, a restricted area, which is part of the Bonneville Lock and Dam complex and killed four California sea lions and two Stellar sea lions. Obviously, the perpetrators of this egregious act did so without our knowledge and were on this island without our permission. Cascades Island is closed to the public. Additionally, none of our critical structures or facilities was compromised.
[I would've thought of the word "breached".]
~The Corps of Engineers is cooperating with federal and state authorities to determine how these individuals gained access to this restricted area. Until that investigation is complete the Corps cannot provide any additional information to your station or the public, as it could compromise the investigation and our ability to bring those responsible for this act to justice, and our ability to protect this and other facilities.

~The Home Furnishings Independents Association will devote a full day during this week’s annual meeting in New Orleans to help Hurricane Katrina victims rebuild and recover. HFIA members from around the country have donated furniture to fellow HFIA member Julian Doerr who will store the home furnishings until HFIA’s annual meeting Wednesday and Thursday this week. At that meeting HFIA attendees will volunteer their time and furnish several restored homes.
