News: Tornado Victims

While we were all distracted watching the pretty shiny primaries and football, tornadoes tore through the U.S. killing 57 people and smashing their homes, furniture, and lives. Monkeyfister asks if we can help.

Brothers, sisters, can you spare a dime? Monkeyfister has started a food drive for his local food bank. MF, the inhabitants of Casa de Los Gatos are in a financial crunch now, as you probably already know, with one of us having been laid off with no income except the UI benes that we paid into for 26 years; and the other down to part-time work no benes thanks to Bush's cuts in funding science and research. We'll see what we can scrape together.

Meanwhile, we urge our better-heeled friends and visitors to put their mite towards helping their brothers/sisters in the South. Because, yaknow, our duly unelected Pretzeldumbfuck is too busy praying for the afflicted to actually get off his worthless ass and do anything useful.

President George W. Bush planned to visit on Friday.

Disaster response has been a hot issue since Hurricane Katrina in 2005 when the federal government came under criticism for its slow response to the storm which devastated New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.

Geebus fuck a duck, the Walking Disaster is planning to visit? Better find out his itinerary so you can send aid to the afflicted communities. They'll need it after Mr. Reverse Midas Touch "Everything I touch turns to Shit" flies in.

Monkeyfister recommends you send help here:

American Red Cross
Mid-South Chapter
1400 Central Avenue
Memphis, TN 38104
901-726-1690

And:
United Way of the Mid-South phone in a donation at (901) 433-4300.

I can't describe how wide-spread the damage is down here. It's enormous. The Media, per usual, is only just now waking up to the situation, after their Super-Duper-Let's-All-Wet-Our-Pants-Together- Tuesday Political Hangover. Like NOLA, these are REALLY poor folks down here, and have nothing, and nowhere to go.

Our hearts go out to you and all down there, Mf. Wish we had more to send than just our good wishes, which won't put a drop of soup in anyone's empty bowl. We will, however, quietly pressure our much-abused friends to see if any of them can siphon off some of their funds in your direction.

And just because a cute cat pitcher makes people look:
