If all elephants are large, and some elephants are pink, are all pink elephants large?

The answer, of course, is yes.

LetÂ’s try another one.

If Sean Penn roams New Orleans in a sinking johnboat with his photographer and press people, does that make him a flaming asshole?

And if, on top of that, he ‘comes ashore’ and roams the streets carrying a loaded shotgun like a wild buccaneer, does that upgrade his status to “one incredibly fucked-up individual nearing the level of political omnipresence only previously held by Bono”?

Yes. Yes, it does.

Does he look bat-shit crazy or what?

IÂ’ve been around the block a few times, but never in my life have I seen someone get handed their ass more completely. Sweet Jesus!

It seems there’s a key element missing from the martial law in New Orleans. You can’t declare martial law when there’s no actual martial aspect. That’s the key element. It’s like calling out “Bingo!” when you haven’t actually filled your card.

“Storm victims were raped and beaten, fights and fires broke out, corpses lay out in the open, and rescue helicopters and law enforcement officers were shot at as flooded-out New Orleans descended into anarchy Thursday.”

I donÂ’t know how many hours itÂ’s been since this catastrophe started but it looks like they're edging closer to Lord of the Flies every day.

Rape? All I can say is that IÂ’ve never seen a more comprehensive advertisement for gun ownership in my life. The scariest part of this whole thing is how many days have gone by with no law and order.

IÂ’ve never been a moving to Montana kind of guy, but seeing how the government (at every level) has handled this fiasco I might have to do a re-think. What if this was dirty bomb? ItÂ’s become quite clear that in times of desperation you should be prepared to protect your family because no one will do it for you.

And while most of us are civilized people who respect our neighbors and our community, itÂ’s clear that not all of our society has reached that plateau. We obviously have members of society who are parasites, void of all decency and human compassion. Animals who would take advantage of a desperate situation and prey on others at levels beyond comprehension.

I canÂ’t help but think what would happen if a small nuke went off somewhere in America. Right now IÂ’m wondering what the response time would be if we were invaded by a hoard of Canadian coin collectors, and if theyÂ’d be able to take several states before FEMA, the Feds and Barney Fife collaborated on a plan to stop the carnage.

I know that among the cops and guardsmen on the scene there are probably many fine men, heroes even, who are going above and beyond their duty. I know there are citizens who are helping their neighbors. Good men standing tall. But IÂ’m not too impressed with the people running the show.

I fully realize that the media is showcasing the bad news. But if youÂ’re one of those people who believe that when a catastrophe strikes in America, 10,000 navy seals led by John Rambo will immediately swoop from the sky carry your ass to a nice cozy B & B with fluffy pillows--youÂ’re delusional.

More:

• Police snipers were stationed on the roof of their precinct, trying to protect it from armed miscreants roaming seemingly at will.

• "They have quite a few people running around here with guns," he said. "You got these young teenage boys running around up here raping these girls."

• Charity Hospital, one of several facilities attempting to evacuate patients, was forced to halt the effort after coming under sniper fire.


Convinced yet?

Anybody had word whether people in other countries give two shits about the worst disaster to strike America in the last hundred years or so?

Of course I've donated. You?
