NOPE

Eh, good point.  Plus, any reference to Noah would just piss off the moozlim community, I think.  Certainly the libs

Official DoD terminology is "evacuees."  Refugees imply they have A) crossed international boundaries, and B) are fleeing acts of war, violence or persecution, i.e., human on human causes of fleeing vs. natural causes.  In the case of NO neither is true.

Personally, I like leeches.

It doesn't really roll off of the tongue, but I'm fond of:  Dumbasses with a lack common sense when approached with an impending disaster.

It'll never catch on with the media.

sorry wont happen again.

I had a few names but I dont feel right making fun of the unfortunate right now. Those who were displaced and had to go elswhere , they have my sympathy.

As far as the scumbag looters who stayed behind and disrupted relief efforts? I have a whole long list of names I could use but one person summed it up pretty good ....... Democrats.

I guess since it's going in the PC direction 'riff-raff', 'scum' and 'trash' would all be out of the question.

Red Cross says to call them "Friends" or "Visitors" if they are in your area.  That is yet to be seen.
