Katrina™, The Drink?

[flowomo]

SEPTEMBER 20--With dead bodies still floating in the streets of New Orleans, a pair of Louisiana lawyers are seeking to cash in on the killer hurricane by slapping the name Katrina on alcoholic beverages. In a new filing with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Andrew Vicknair and Harold Ehrenberg provided federal officials with a logo--reproduced above--bearing the word Katrina, the phrase "Get Blown Away," and a small satellite image of the deadly storm. The trademark application was filed on September 4, just six days after the hurricane slammed into the Gulf Coast, killing more than 1000 residents and leaving thousands homeless.

1. Vultures

How would they feel about a drink named after 9/11?

They're probably upset they didn't think of that idea first.

Vultures.

4. Kind of wondering, though, what will happen toTobasco sauce?

And gulf shrimp? Can we feel safe with any food stuff from that area after NO gets flushed out?

5. It would be great if Dems could license "Republican Kool-ade"

It could have a smiling Alfred E Newman Bush face on the pitcher and it could say:

Deficit's Don't Matter
or

We'll compassionately starve you in NOLA

or

Where are those WMDS anyway

or

No one could have anticipated:
planes into buildings
levees breaching
(pick one)

or any number of great slogans we could all figure out right here. Can't someone do this for the next protest or Dem Convention?
