Fascinating
How the far-right religious types are saying Katrina was God's will--smiting the sinners.
How the far-left religious types (who knew?) are saying Katrina was God's will--smiting the sinners.
Except for the definition of "sinners", they're both spewing the same rhetoric.
Now I must shower, because I feel dirty after wading so deep in either direction's (ahem) rhetoric.

Fear not. It's only the beginning and reason will prevail. Might take another week or two, though...
You know, Al Queda and other islamic fundementalists, (I am going to stop there), also are spewing the same hate speech about Allah and Hurricane Katrina killing the sinners.
Although I consider myself religions, I could never trivilize this tragedy as being sent to show sinners the cost of their ways. However, it's nice to see that Muslims don't corner the market on crazy.
