President George Bush Coordinates Bible Drop For Hurricane Katrina Victims in New Orleans

WASHINGTON (AP)—US President George Bush has taken personal control of the coordination of relief efforts for the thousands of dying victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and throughout the Deep South.

“We’ll be sparing no expense to soothe those poor unfortunate peoples,” said Bush at a White House press conference. He held up a miniature copy of the Revised Republican Bible which will be placed in impermeable plastic bags and dropped in the tens of thousands from helicopters to save the souls of the flood victims.

The special Republican care package will also contain a picture of the grinning President himself, a piece of White House cake, as well as a coffee mug variously emblazoned with such slogans as “I’m a Proud Republican,” “I Love Jesus and Big Oil,” “I Love Halliburton,” and “I Love the US Corps of Army Engineers.”

some levity for serious times

1. That's probably too close to the truth for comfort! Funny.

3. Too close to the truth is right on the money

Check out this little campaign by the folks that bring you those nifty little bibles in hotel rooms:

The Gideons International are sending 40,000 Personal Witnessing Testaments (New Testament, Psalms, Proverbs) to be distributed at the Astrodome and other relief centers in Houston.

My camp in Clear Lake is the focal point for organizing Gideon volunteers to help with the distribution. We are doing this in cooperation with the Salvation Army.

Here is the reaction of Paul Waldman at the Gadflyer:

Yeah, God sure is doing right by the people of New Orleans right about now. And I certainly think it's great that these folks are feeling motivated to help. But here's a crazy thought: if you want to help them, why not set the bibles aside for a day and bring them something like - I know this is crazy, but hear me out - maybe some water, or food, or clothing or medicine? They don't need ministry, they need to survive the next week.

I heard about the christian bible push in the ME/Iraq awhile ago and thought dimson was doing the same thing.
Amazing the kind of bs we've learned to NOT be surprised over with fearless leader in charge!
