I thought I’d try to get away from Katrina blogging for a while, so I visited the MADD web site to see what those paternalistic weanies are up to. I turns out they’re trying to cash in on the hurricane:
Contribute to MADD‘s Katrina Fund and provide aid to MADD volunteers and staff whose lives have been changed forever by Hurricane Katrina—100% of proceeds will be sent directly to affected areas, and will be administered locally.
For one shocking moment, I was worried they had figured out some way to blame Katrina on drunk drivers, but I guess even they can’t pull that one off.
Hmm. Maybe I should visit the web site for the Office of National Drug Control Policy to see if they’ve found a way to blame the hurricane on medical marijuana yet…
I’m disappointed. I would have thought that MADD would have pointed out that Hurricane Katrina struck a state that is notorious for its lack of an open-container law. Clearly, the Lord smote Louisianans for their intemperate ways. Indiana had better heed this warning, or it will be next.
