Forest<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Trees

I haven't written anything about hurricane Katrina because I couldn't think of anything to say except really bad-taste, gallows humor jokes about "Katrina & the Waves." Anyway, Mark Evanier wrote something which is more-or-less what I would have said (only more eloquent and otherwise better), yesterday.

Today, however, I found out that, also yesterday, a group called Columbia Christians for Life emailed out their response to this tragedy. As a blog called Eve's Apple, where I got this (via Pandagon) puts it...

I do not make this shit up!
This is the text of an actual email I received on Monday...

From: Columbia Christians for Life
Subject: Hurricane Katrina satellite image looks like 6-week fetus
To: Columbia Christians for Life

Satellite picture of Hurricane Katrina at NOAA.com looks like a 6-week unborn human child as it comes ashore the Gulf Coast, vicinity states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida at 12:32 PM, Monday, August 29, 2005...Louisiana has 10 child-murder-by-abortion centers - FIVE are in New Orleans
www.ldi.org ('Find an Abortion Clinic [sic]')

Baby-murder state # 1 - California (125 abortion centers) - land of earthquakes, forest fires, and mudslides
Baby-murder state # 2 - New York (78 abortion centers) - 9-11 Ground Zero
Baby-murder state # 3 - Florida (73 abortion centers) - Hurricanes Bonnie, Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne in 2004; and now, Hurricane Katrina in 2005

God's message: REPENT AMERICA !


They. Honest to god. Think. That this hurricane is a message from god because of abortion clinics. And some people tell me female women's rights advocates are too obsessed with a single issue.

ETA: And speaking of bad-taste jokes: clown prince of lies Rush Limbaugh and armchair warrior Jonah Goldberg have decided it's great fun to equate the natural disaster of a hurricane with the editor of a magazine with whose politics they disagree.

They're such cards, those guys on the right.
