The Democrat National Convention is held at the New Orleans Superdome. Every prominent Democrat politician, donor and activist is there along with many of the Hollywood glitterati, high-ranking progressives from the world of academia and many, many prominent labor leaders and personal-injury attorneys.
The adoring media, of course, is packed in alongside them all to provide us with wall-to-wall coverage of every minute and tell us all how wonderful they are.
Suddenly, there is a great shaking, and the earth opens up and swallows the entire stadium, which disappears without a trace. Despite a mighty effort on the part of the emergency crews, they can manage to find only one survivor.
Who was saved?
A: The United States of America!
Heheh…
Bam! Love it.
You’re inciting Earth to violence, aren’t you Mr. Right?
May I suggest all college-aged females in the area go topless during the Democrat convention, to cause just such an event (as suggested by some crazy Iranian mullah who thinks immodesty causes earthquakes).
I agree with Mikee. Just retract “in the area”
Mayor Ray Nagin (sp?) that guy like a cockroach in every way. He is lucky the poor black people of New Orleans never found out how much he was at fault in Katrina.
As for the individual survivor, probably one of the janitors.
The nation.
Mr. Right, your fantasy could be titled “The Next Great
DisasterGodsend.”Speaking of disasters / Godsends, what will the next one be ?
(a) West coast earthquake kills unprepared liberals. (Can you spell “Cascadia?”)
(b) A volcano (like Mt. Rainier) wipes-out a state Capitol (like Olympia – woo hoo!).
(c) A megatsunami from La Palma obliterates D.C. (“We’re sorry – the number you have reached is no longer in service!”)
(d) The blizzard of 2011 freeze-dries all Canadians in their tracks as the next ice age starts.
These are just a few of my disaster fantasies. (Just kidding about (d).)
…(as suggested by some crazy Iranian mullah who thinks immodesty causes earthquakes)…”
I thought that was Danny Glover
Barack Obama was visiting a primary school and he visited one of the classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked the president if he would like to
lead the discussion on the word ‘tragedy’. So the president asked the class for an example of a ‘tragedy’.
One little boy stood up and offered: “If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be a tragedy.” “No,’ said Obama, ‘that would be an accident.”
A little girl raised her hand: “If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy.” “I’m afraid not,” explained Obama. “That’s what we would call great loss.” The room went silent.. No other children volunteered.
Obama searched the room. “Isn’t there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?”
Finally, at the back of the room, Little Johnny raised his hand. In a quiet voice he said: “If the plane carrying you and Mrs. Obama was struck by a ‘friendly fire’ missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy.”
“Fantastic!’ exclaimed Obama. ‘That’s right. And can you tell me why that would be tragedy?” “Well,’ says Johnny, ‘It has to be a tragedy, because it sure wouldn’t be a great loss…and you can bet your ass it’s probably not an accident either.”
Jimmy, the problem with the megatsunami from La Palma aka Cumbrevieja is that tsunami will also obliterate where I live, Florida. However, it could work is we put a chain of big ships with giant pictures of Dick Cheney in it’s path and trust me, that tsunami would change course in an instant when it saw that. We can leave a gap for Washington D.C. to be hit by the tsunami, which would be a good thing.
