What follows are the quickies I've received about Hurricane Katrina. These are jokes which are funny, but which didn't really warrant posting separately. I post such a digest whenever I have enough entries to warrant it. Particularly selective readers will probably not enjoy the digests, and may want to killfile RHF jokes with "Digest" in the title - ed.

Katrina left Biloxi's Keesler Air Force Base--home to the U.S. Air Force's fleet of hurricane-hunter aircraft--95 percent "smashed," an Air Force official at the base said Wednesday.

Think they got tired of being watched and took things into their own hands?

Fats Domino missing in N.O. floods
Thursday, September 1, 2005; Posted: 3:06 p.m. EDT (19:06 GMT)

My first thought on seeing this article was, ain't that a shame. After seeing today that Fats was rescued, I assume that he was high-and-dry, up on Blueberry Hill. Thank god. It would have been a blue monday if he wasn't found.

Occurred to me that hurricanes seem to happen in Republican administrations. So I checked the top 10 past hurricanes. All happen during Republican administrations except one. Supposed God is trying to tell us something? =20

Not including Katrina, the total is $139 billion, of which $10.8 happened during a Democratic administration. Does that mean God is 92% Democratic?

Andrew 1992 43.7 billion Republican
Charley 2004 15.0 Republican
Ivan 2004 14.2 Republican
Hugo 1989 12.3 Republican
Agnes 1972 11.3 Republican
Betsy 1965 10.8 Democrat
Frances 2004 8.9 Republican
Camille 1969 8.9 Republican
Diane 1955 7.0 Republican
Jeanne 2004 6.9 Republican

all in 2004 dollars

Not to make light of the flooding in New Orleans, there is a very simple solution. Do nothing. Just change the name of the city >from "New Orleans" to "New Venice" ... or maybe "New Atlantis"

Suppose you wanted to site a city in the worst possible place, where the population would be sure, some day, to be zapped by a natural disaster, where would it be?

One of the best has to be New Orleans, in a bowl, below sea level, and right in the hurricane zone. Pity it isn't on a fault, but you can't have everything.

They're sure to rebuild it, right?

After the stunning successes of the War on Poverty and War on Terrorism, the Bush Administration today announced that they were declaring a War on Weather in the wake of Hurricane Katrina's devastation of New Orleans. Codenamed Canute the operation will see a ban on the manufacture and sale of baked beans and a bounty placed on Amazonian butterflies.

After the massive deaths, the near-total destruction, the complete failure to provide security, the widespread looting, and snail-paced response by the Bush Administration, we could rebuild New Orleans. Or we can just rename it New Baghdad.
