This is a note from Bud Royer and isn't spam. I can vouch for him.
Another way to help. His pies are brilliant. He's a genuine character,
and his heart is absolutely in the right place.

And, not surprisingly, he's not some poor woman who doesn't like
your choice of spices.

Oh, look. It's the Australian stage magician who argues with rocket
scientists. And rational people. And honest people.

See, Ray is a mentally constipated right wingnut blowhole "Bush is
perfect" - all-ideology, all the time - American living in Australia who
can't seem to master logic, fact and integrity. Otherwise, as a
balancing condition and in all fairness, he's also a fatuous,
unintelligent buffoon. But I say that with all the respect he deserves.

Note that he has nothing to say about helping Katrina victims. Just
another Haddad cheapie from a panorama of others just like it.

I think that should be a verb. Whenever anyone says something more than
usually stupid or more than usually inane or more than usually
ass-covering and diversionary, it may be said that they're "haddading."

So, Ray, did you send a few bucks to Bud Royer to help the victims of
Katrina? Or are you promoting that they pull themselves up by their own
bootstraps and quit whining? Splash their ways to the dry land and just
get on with it? Or are you going to tell a tall one about all the help
you've offered already?

Like when you say you give blood every time there's an emergency. What a
guy. The rest of the time, no blood for nobody. But in an emergency,
Ray's the go-to guy for his too-too generous single pint of blood. That,
too, is haddading.

And here's the part that anusmouth Ray struck -

There's only one rational and honest person in this thread so far
and it's not you, Boob Pastupido.

But do press on. Go castigate some woman for not liking your French
fry recipe.

Better yet, go back to your day job. Repeat after me: "Would you
like fries with that, sir?"

Res ipsa loquitur.

Q.E.D.

The header here is "Katrina: Another way to help."

Poor Ray's Almanac doesn't have a section for that. Just more of this
kind of adult discourse. Some sunny day when birds are singing and the
sky is a wonderful, bright blue, Ray will post something intelligent. It
could happen.

Oh, look. A singing pig.

How about you knock off the constant cross-posting and bringing your
personal, petty spats into groups that aren't interested. Mmmkay?

You lose lots of respect in this world, Bob, when you attack someone
as visciously as you did the poor woman who didn't find your ideas
to her liking and then pretend to have hope and mercy in your heart
for people who shoot at rescuers. In short, you are sleazy, Bob.
Very sleazy.

Repeat after me, heart attack boy: "Do you want fries with that,
sir?" Don't forget the "sir" bit. You may get to keep the change.

No matter what you do or don't think of Bob, you intentionally derailed his
thread for the sole purpose of taking a swipe at him--a thread that was
started as an effort to help victims of a devastating catastrophe.

In a different thread on misc.writing you said, "All I care about is how do
we as Americans bring about the maximum number of surviving victims of this
monumental tragedy?"

So here's a way. Stop using a humanitarian threat to take potshots at
someone.

Of course it isn't spam. It's someone using his talents to help people in
need.

Thanks Bob.
