Can you see this?

It's my eyes rolling when I saw the "Liberal Blogosphere Hurricane Relief" button which took me to the Red Cross homepage.

Wow! First, I didn't know the liberal blogosphere contracted with the Red Cross; second, I had absolutely no idea that the people of Hurricane Katrina would refuse aid from a conservative.

You realize, of course, that I am now cranky as hell.

That embodies so much of what has been wrong in the politicized response to the hurricane. Driving me absolutely crazy.

What cracks me up are seriously non-religious people bragging about donating money to the Salvation Army.

Similar thing happened to Hubster at work. He informed them that the Salvation Army was a church. They would NOT believe him.

"Liberal Blogosphere Hurricane Relief"...that is pretty repugnant. I mean, I HATE the word "blogosphere."

Oh, come on, Greg. What was the point of attaching "liberal" and then linking it to a a non-partisan, international world relief organization? That is what got me. Why not just say, "Hurricane Relief?"

And you're right; that blogosphere word is just too insulting to stand.

GB, are you serious? They really didn't know that the Salvation Army is a denomination?

I am joking. I think connecting "liberal" with a charity organization is silly.
