The lost pets of hurricane Katrina

Near New Orleans a small oil-slickened dog was seen wandering in Chalmette, Louisiana, as cleanup crews recovered oil from a ruptured refinery tank on September 6, 2005. Tens of thousands of barrels of oil had spilled and mixed with receding floodwater from Hurricane Katrina.

Three dogs waited for rescue in Pass Christian, Mississippi, on August 31, 2005, one day after Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast town. The dogs were later saved by a local police officer.

Surrounded by litter left by refugees, a dog remained tied to the railing of a highway ramp in New Orleans on September 3, 2005, six days after Hurricane Katrina. Like many of the city's newly stranded pets, the dog may have been refused passage by rescuers as they evacuated its owners.

A New Orleans resident waded along Canal Street with a dog he rescued on August 30, 2005, the day the local levee system failed and flooded the city.

The Hitch vs Mos Def

Amazing. You got merced Mos Def.

Last one.

And again.

Been fannying about with Photoshop this morning...

Cocky motherfuckers

They literally don't give a shit. Even after a yank sniper popped three of their lot with three clean shots, whilston a boat in five foot seas. Sweet. Despite this yesterday the plucky wankers had another pop at a US ship.

Pirates attacked another US-flagged cargo ship off the coast of Somalia with rockets and automatic weapons - but failed to board the craft.

Those crazy, crazy bastards.

Pirates

What year is this? Last time I check the East India Trading Company was out of business and amputee's could expect something a little more advanced than a wooden leg or a hook hand - With the exception of Abu, but he's a prick. But no, it seems these vagabonds in Somalia are still having a pop at every passing frigate and dingy. True they got a licking from some yanks today. The crew of the Maersk Alabama re-took their ship from a bunch of pirates. They have taken the pirate captain hostage and the rest of the nefarious bastards are described as being 'in the water.' But the point remains that this is the sixth hijack in recent days, including a British and Taiwanese ship. Isn't it about time we steamed over there with the Navy and fired a couple of Exocets into these pricks? Or how letting the SBS have a run-a-round? It's not like they have a political agenda, they're just thieves. Come on, lets show these arseholes what we can do.
