Maybe Mother Nature had help

Reject the notion that Katrina was God’s way of lashing out at New Orleans revelers, Gulf Coast gamblers or American sinners in general? There is growing interest in the conspiracy theory that the Japanese mafia engineered the hurricane using a Russian-made electromagnetic generator, as belated payback for the Hiroshima bombing. Scott Stevens, an ex-weatherman in Idaho, has discussed this and other otherworldly weather phenomena he’s observed on the late-night “Coast to Coast” radio show. Sounds like an excellent plot for a thriller. Does this mean we can blame neo-Nazis for our next ice storm?

    Oh Wonderful! Another conspiracy! If any of you paranoids had any idea how hard a real conspiracy is to pull off……….!

    Actually! The Japanese has already paid us back for the horrors of the atom bombing.

    They introduce a plague that has infected millions of Americans for which makes life unbearable for the rest of us.

    They call this secret weapon, Karaoke. And man; It is brutal!

    Joe, Excellent.The true cause of the Hurricane Katrina was payback from the flying Spaghetti monster. It seems he was interviewed by Iron Chef Japan as a possible guest on the show, when the chef made a wise crack about “Al dente”.The hurricane was supposed to hit Tokyo, but You know the monster: He’s always getting lost.

    Sometimes genius and crazy are the same. We can never know!

    The guy has some pretty cool pictures on his website, but I think they are all anamolous, not a giant satillite in the sky causing “holes”.

    …and why would the Japanese Mafia care! Wouldn’t Osama be a better source of funding!

    Just couldn’t be. We have advanced technology from our longstanding contact with aliens since Roswell in 1947. Back in the 60’s we all received secret alien message decoder rings that they had hidden..get this..in boxes of Cracker Jack !!

    I was about to say this was the stupidest thing I’d ever heard of but then I remembered that millions of people voted for Bush.

    So, there ARE a lot of stupid people out there . . .

    I have always thought that the prizes in those boxes of Cracker Jack have declined over the years, but they were once secret alien message decoder rings? Wow!

    NoJo,Yeah, we got the rings, but never got the alien messages to decode.Anyway, it seems the only reason flying saucers came here in the first place was to pick up loads of Orville Redenbacher Popcorn, which is extremely valuable in other parts of the galaxy for religious purposes.

    AOL just announced a new version of its popular internet product for those who can’t seem to get their facts straight, believe every conspiracy story and urban legend, and continue to think that Bush stole the elections. http://www.SOL.com for those who are stuck on stupid. All proceeds go to support Air America.

    ID–

    That must be the right-wing sense of humor you all are always deriding us lefties of not having.

    If that’s what you wing-nuts call humor, you can keep it.

    We’ll stick with Bill Maher, Al Franken, and Jon Stewart . . .

    Galahad,Now we know why there are no conservative comedians. Don Rickles is dead.

    Joe C.– I guess that’s why they have wildly successful tv shows and you got, uh, . . . Ron Silver.
