Louisiana Jingle Bells

Dashing through debris
With a chainsaw in my hand
FEMA's on the way
They haven't got a plan

Looters on the way
They're making quite a fright
Oh, what fun it is to have
My great big gun tonight

CHORUS
Oh, Jingle Bells, my fridge smells
Katrina, kiss my ass
Won't y'all come back home real soon
And help pick up this trash!

Hear the generators whir
They're making quite a sound
I'm just taking in all the sights
With no one else around

Aaron Broussard's on TV
He's crying like a chump
He dried his eyes just long enough
To turn off all the pumps

CHORUS
Oh, Jingle Bells, my fridge smells
Katrina, kiss my ass
Won't y'all come back home real soon
And help pick up this trash!

Got a blue tarp on my roof
It's keeping out the rain
The adjuster arrived two months late
Then promptly lost my claim

Gotta love those MREs
For making spirits bright
I'm saving one with M&Ms
Just for Christmas night!

CHORUS
Oh, Jingle Bells, my fridge smells
Katrina, kiss my ass
Won't y'all come back home real soon
And help pick up this trash!

Discovery of Heaviest Element yet known to Science

The recent hurricane and gasoline issues helped prove existence of a new element. n early October [2005] a major research institution announced discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element has been named "Government."

Governmentium (Gv) has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton like particles called peons. Since Gv has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A minute amount of Gv causes one reaction to take over four days to complete, when it would normally take less than a second!

Gv has a normal half-life of 4 years; it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.

This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Gv is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as Critical Morass.

When catalyzed with money, Gv becomes Administratium (Am) - an element which radiates just as much energy as Gv since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons

Katrinalaya - Theme Song for the Rebuilding of New Orleans

Good by Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh
Cause the whole subdivision's now a bayou
Levee broke - no time to joke - me oh my oh
Gotta go contra-flow to where it's high-oh

Oh, hurricane, you're a pain, me oh my oh
'Cause the bowl that I called home is filling up-oh
Didn't pack - what's on my back is all I got-oh
Filed FEMA claims to ease our pain when we got out-oh

Oh, CNN, you're my new friend for all the news-oh
We get fed six times a day by the Texarkanos
More Lousians in Texarkan than armadillos
Evacuees not refugees that's our new name-oh

Oh contra-flow - we gotta go, to Lone Star land-oh
Get those Aggie and Longhorn fans to lend a hand-oh
Glad that I'm here and not down there, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, ain't havin fun on the bayou

Thank our new friends and go back home when it's okay-oh
And we'll rebuild the city that we love-oh
Make houses high so we won't cry the next time-oh
Son of a gun, don't need more floods on the bayou

Creole cuisine and Cajun queens is what we love-oh
The best in jazz is what we have to make you smile-oh
Come party-gras at Mardi Gras and second line-oh
Thanks for helping save our city on the bayou!
