Okay, okay, we're back. A few things on the K_L_T_R_B_N_K_R tip have been left unused for a few weeks now, we apologize. We have completed our site redesign and have moved everything that we're tinkering with from PC to Mac, so it's also been a bit of a struggle. Expect lots of new content shortly.

In the meantime, everyone please make a contribution to the RED CROSS to help with relief efforts for Hurricane Katrina. Instead of buying 1 CD or 1 movie ticket, just give that amount, at least. In the televised fundraiser after the 9/11 attacks, over 90 million people watched the broadcast but only $100 million was raised, meaning that each person watching gave only about $1.10, on average, but we know that really what happened is that lots of people gave $20, $30 or more, so most people gave NOTHING.

And where were all the celebrities and rich fuckers either time? Bill Gates alone could have given a cool $1 BILLION if he felt like it. $100 million in a country as rich as ours is a shameful amount. This hurricane has crippled an entire city. Hundreds of thousands of people are directly affected by this. Any celebrity in America had better be writing giant checks right now, because all of you are only "famous" because we the people have given our hard-earned cash to make you famous and rich. Give it back.

Lastly, don't anyone forget the massive, colossal, shockingly inept governance of Bush & Co. in the wake of this hurricane. Bush buzzed New Orleans from 1700 feet and then continued on to San Diego to attend a fundraiser and PLAY GOLF. While people were descending into total anarchy, bodies in the river, children being raped and murdered, police and rescue workers being shot, our President was eyeing the back 9. Could we have any clearer example of how out of touch he is and how he needs to be IMPEACHED immediately?
