Well, except for you, Corporeal Whinny--great call on Redumdimski's clearly racist use of black face on the hurricane.

Otherwise, do the words "crisis" and "opportunity" not mean anything to you lackwits? I look at that hurricane and all the damage it threatens to do, and all I can think of is "government funding." Government funds for cleanup. Government funds for reconstruction. Glorious government funds for a glorious new government agency called the Council for Community Solutions to Disaster Cleanup and Reconstruction (or something like that), whose mission will be to hold a series of meetings at various glamorous resorts, where council members will discuss the various ways government funding can be used to help communities take immediate action on the various steps required to address the importance of raising awareness of the need to call for more government funding to engage those affected communities on the issue of how they can submit requests for case studies to determine their need for government funding that could potentially save or create an indeterminate number of jobs and touch even millions more lives by giving hope to all victims of the hurricane by pledging the funds they need to clean up and rebuild.

Comrades, I'm telling you, when it comes to making the case for more stimulus, the earthquake and Irene are the next best thing to that alien space invasion Comrade Krugman was talking about!

I think you're edging very close to Denouncement Territory™ here, and I'll tell you why: You chose a "black face" for your hurricane. Why, every enlightened prog knows and understands that anything with a destructive capability would look like (whitey) George Bush, or Dick Cheney. We all know that everything and anything bad, evil, vile, destructive or destestable is Bush's Fault™. We also know, conclusively, that Dick Cheney is really a Vampyre.

Furthermore, a "black face" hurricane is racist. It would be implying that our Dear Leader, The One, Husseinovich—who happens to be an historical BLACK president—is. . . "destructive" to our very existence as we know it, sucking out the hard-earned incomes of the "wealthy", i.e. "anyone working at a job", destroying their livlihoods. It can also be misconstrued as MOO-chelle rampaging on another one of her foodie binges.

Be careful, comrade. Be very careful.

I know you to be a thoughtful Prog from your postings on other threads, and clearly from the tone and vitriol of your response you had been partaking a bit too freely of the beet juice vodka at the time of your rant. Imbibing and writing are a dangerous combination, tovarisch! Even in the “privacy” of your own diary, let alone our PC forum.

Had this been an actual occasion for my denouncement I would surely be proud to have you testify against me. But now, operating under the assumption that the beet juice has run its course through you, I will offer you the benefit of staying true to my handle and reStating What Everyone Knows™:

Part of the advantage of being a Prog is we can do and say the same things that, were we Evil Tea-rrorist Teabaggers™, would be cause for Denouncement. We always denounce those who are not of us, and always embrace those of us who are in The Family, unless it's politically damaging to do so. I would remind you that we are to be Korrektly self-loathing but we always employ the force multiplier of lock-step Solidarity. And since you and I are children of the same father of lies, dear Raum, and I am championing Our Cause, I have confidence your circle of confusion has shrunk as has Irene's and you awake to this New Day with clarity as of the post-Irene sky.

Not that this in any way lessens our Duty to use this Crisis beyond any reasonable expectation of utility, whatever that is. Remember, it's all about feeling, not about fact. Not that there is such a thing as a fact anyway, but I digress…

(thanks Czar). The advantage is the loss of brain cells becomes harder to notice after a time.

Czar, it is good that our P_Cubed super top-secret encryption algorithms prevent ordinary proles and Tea-rrorists ™ from being able to see the image of your Desktop. Wouldn't want non-PCers knowing where your mission-critical secret vault folder is located. (What's that? the algorithms are non-functional Potemkins and don't prevent prole viewing? Who must be shot?!)
