Ten Things that I've laughed at in the Last 24 Hours

I was going to post 'Ten Ways Things have gotten Worse" since I didn't feel like being witty in the wake of the worst national disaster in U.S. history and having seen so much suffering over the last 2 days. But then the topic came to me: Honor the tragedy and our idiocy as a race at the same time with a little humor... Ten Things that I've Laughed at in the Last 24 Hours 1- Looters stocking up on candy + beer rather than medicine, water, toilet paper & dairy products 2- A caller on Larry King asking snootily how much other countries had pledged in aid so far. My thoughts went to the idea of Donald Trump losing a mansion to fire and seeking donations from the rest of us to cover his losses 3- People waiting in line for hours for gas when there is no electricity for miles. Gas pumps need power to pump 4- Analyst calculating that Mississippi stands to lose $500 thousand a day since its gambling barges were destroyed. Was there going to be a plethora of gamblers with expendable cash at the tables if they were still operating? 5- Hearing our ever poignant alpha male Bush say "This recovery will take a long time. This recovery will take...uh (long pause) years" 6- A grossly obese woman complaining she hadn't had a HOT meal since yesterday. Picture yourself as an obese person and say this outloud. It's hysterical 7- Footage of a looter getting mad at other looters who tried to dip into his basket 8- Tragedy footage interrupted by a commercial of a publisher Clearinghouse million dollar winner celebrating. Way to jump on that strategic air time slot guys! 9- Pat Robertson I was just channel surfing and it was old footage. I didn't stop or hear what he was saying but ANY time I see his mug I have to laugh out loud 10- Catching myself grumbling about the new $3.29 gas prices at my neighborhood pump
