Guess who FEMA is directing Katrina relief donations to. NO, REALLY, GUESS.


FEMA is directing Katrina donations to none other than the Rev. Pat Robertson …

Millions of Americans and people around the world have rushed to donate money to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, which is shaping up to be one of the worst U.S. disasters in history, if not the worst.

FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, is the lead federal agency in the rescue & recovery operation at work in New Orleans and the Mississippi gulf coast.

FEMA has released to the media and on its Web site a list of suggested charities to help the storm’s hundreds of thousands of victims. The Red Cross is first on the list.

The Rev. Pat Robertson’s “Operation Blessing” is next on the list.

That reminds me of the Red Cross during 9-11.

Oy veh!

I was just reading in the Economist about Robertson's recent assertion that we ought to assassinate (IIRC) Hugo Chavez. Yeah, I think there's something in the Bible about Jesus assassinating people.

FYI, America's Second Harvest is now second, and Operation Blessing third. Guess they got some hate mail.

thanks...

Wow, the same Pat Robertson who is invested in a diamond mine and supported Charles Taylor. I guess he could fuck dead babies as long as keeps preaching Jesus.

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]

or eat dead babies. Fucking is a sin, you know.

My icon seems weirdly appropriate here.

thank god we have an administration which does not discriminate against faith based initiatives because that would be terrible, if redneck bigots across the country weren't able to profiteer sanctimoniously from the distress of others

I foresee an AOL poll coming up

Do you think the destruction of NOLA was caused by breached levees

yes 51%

or
the gay homosinsexuals

yes 49%

Since apparently 51% of the polled population believe Bush is handling Katrina "poorly" I extrapolate to the remaining 49%.

I'm....speechless. And will be until the end of the presidency, it seems. :/

I cry now.

But now they're at #3! (http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/week_2005_08_28.php#006385)

In fact, the only non-goddy org on that list is the Red Cross, and money given to them only goes through Red Cross facilities. But there's another organization (with the somewhat ominous name of "Operation America") that is deity-free and wasn't on the list, but can be accessed here.

My head just exploded and I am rapidly filling it with beers. I totally thought that was some kind of Onion-esque spin... uhm... holy shit wtf?
