HAIL THE CUP
Celine Dion demands freedom for the miniature pixel people of New Orleans:
“I open the television, there’s people still there, waiting to be rescued, and for me it’s not acceptable,” she said.
But how can we possibly save them? What device might be used to scoop up these tiny tele-dwellers? Time to step forward, Sean Penn – and bring that little plastic cup of liberty with you.
Dion also slammed authorities for arresting looters in the city that became a hellhole of crime and violence after the storm, saying rescue should be the only priority. “How come it’s so easy to send planes in another country to kill everyone in a second, to destroy lives?” Dion said, alluding to the US-led war in Iraq.
I really can’t understand her point. I suspect you need to be a celebrity to follow this sort of thing.
I open the television — now my hair looks like Siouxsie’s…

But, PLEASE!, stick to entertainment. I don’t want to see another good entertainer go down the dark road towards moonbattery.

Is Mrs. Dion sad about the slow response? Blame GOVERNMENT for it. Plus, blame the fact that the day after, New Orleans looked like it was going to be ok. Still not good enough for her, well then I’m sorry, feel sorry for me too that I wasn’t born with a gold-plated pair of lungs like her. Life can be unfair.
And finally for Spicolly, I have to give him kudos for doing something. Even with the flack vest, dixie cup, and personal photographer. From where I sit, he pretty much just shut up and got to work. In a way he is a microcosm of the situation. He was off to a bad start but will learn from his mistakes and continue on (I hope) all the while in the view of a camera.“Berkeley police said a loaded Glock 9 millimeter semi-automatic pistol and an unloaded Smith & Wesson .38 caliber revolver owned by Penn were missing after the actor’s car was stolen April 8.”
“His last misdemeanor conviction for assault with a deadly weapon was ‘86, but in ‘97 he was popped on a parole violation for simple assault.”
“Not just anyone can get a permit to carry a concealed weapon. ... It’s not a simple process and it does require some diligence on the part of the person seeking the permit.”
Yeah, seems a bag of cash and a ounce of blow can buy anything in Marin Co.
#16,
Hmmm, must be some stashes left somewhere…no, the cops probably got there first.Or maybe he’s opening a N.O. connection.
He was here recently filming “All the King’s Men”. My nephew, previously mentioned, was an extra, played a senator, said no one could get near him due to his bodyguards and that he was a condescending ass.
Can’t get to my email….someone sent copy of Anne Rice’s plea for the rebuilding of N.O., will post it asap.
New book, Interview with Katrina?
You know we thought all those survival shows were a waste….I see it now, Survivor-Katrina. All the book and movie deals have been signed and the celebs are making sure they get there first.
OK-come on now-I have to defend my fellow Acadian. Look we can barely speak English and we really can’t speak French-that anyone outside of the Beaubassin woods can comprehend.
Now darn it -I’m off to polsh Celin’s shoes. She pays me a buck a pair-American ya hosers!
Posted by madawaskan on 2005 09 06 at 04:57 PM • permalinkPolsh means polish-in “the” dialect damn it.
Posted by madawaskan on 2005 09 06 at 04:59 PM • permalinkIn Acadian-if you translate literally that’s what comes out-
Open =turn on…
Like turn on the lights ends up-‘open the lights’.
Turn on Bill Clinton…oh nevermind.
Posted by madawaskan on 2005 09 06 at 05:02 PM • permalinkMojo - Actually, Berkeley (I assume that’s what you mean by Berzerkely) is in Alameda County (although it’s not far from Contra Costa County).
Posted by Bruce Lagasse on 2005 09 06 at 08:31 PM • permalinkPenn is now stating he intended “to rescue children trapped by flood” presumably by tearing them from the arms of their parents and leaving the adults behind…
Man, these showbiz types do all think alike, don’t they?
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 09 06 at 08:40 PM • permalinkDave T. — According to Rob Randall, the starving black people in New Orleans ate the little people in your TV…
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 09 06 at 10:19 PM • permalinkbtw, there’s a sublime Andrew Bolt article on the blame-Bush brigade:
Hurricane of lies
OF COURSE, it’s George Bush’s fault. Why miss this chance to blame someone you already hate?So see them line up to kick him over the devastation of New Orleans, and the delays in bringing relief. See some so insane with loathing that they blame him even for Hurricane Katrina itself.
Posted by Art Vandelay on 2005 09 07 at 02:05 AM • permalinkNo No No you have all got it wrong. haven’t you seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Willy Wonka Invented a machine that transfered chocolate by TV. It then transfered Mike Tv by TV.
Obviously Celine doesn’t want tens of thousands of tiny dirty hungry New Orleans residents running around her living room looting whatever they can carry. Anyway she doesn’t have a taffy puller to strecth them back to their real size.
So people help her reach in your TV and take these people to the nearest choclate factory to get them stretched back into shape.I wonder how many little people you can fit in a red plastic cup.
