Ya know, I'm not a big proponent of biblical prophecies, but if I were a resident of New Orleans, I'd be wondering if some of the religious whackos aren't so whacko after all.
Let's face it, the Big Easy (along with Las Vegas) are America's versions of Sodom and Gomorrah. Everywhere you turn in these burgs it's gluttony, sin, and excess. The next thing you know, New Orleans is virtually wiped off the face of the map by a category five hurricane. Many folks would say that it was just a matter of time before "the big one" hit there anyway.
After the devastation, many N.O. residents were evacuated to Houston, Texas until they can return to their home city.
Fast forward to this week, as Hurricane Rita rears her ugly head. Rita is a monster, and is already competing with Katrina in overall strength. And guess where she's headed? Straight for Houston. Jesus.
Either the citizens of New Orleans are the unluckiest people ever, or GOD . . . IS . . . PISSED!
Makes you wonder sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I want to admit I chuckled at this or not... It's that morbid humor I secretly have and am ashamed of. And yes, I love both cities. **Big sigh**
ReplyDeleteHey, I live in 'Sin City' and am never bored on date night!
ReplyDeleteIf i'm gonna go, might as well be by a flaming rock hurled from heaven... beats a flood.
CUG - Obviously posted tongue-in-cheek, but cripes, these folks can't BUY a break!
ReplyDeleteKelly - Welcome! It's cop humor - heavy on the morbidity.
Peak - And you never have to be without a date . . . of course, if Mrs. Peak lets you, that is!
