Living in a Stadium

It's Katrina all over again.They're only clinging to life because they've started eating the dead! Remember that? And remember how a mix-up in government paperwork resulted in the National Guard actually shipping sharks to the area?

Well, actually it's a little different in California:

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Like Hurricane Katrina evacuees two years earlier in New Orleans, thousands of people rousted by natural disaster fled to the NFL stadium here, waiting out the calamity and worrying about their homes.

The similarities ended there, as an almost festive atmosphere reigned at Qualcomm Stadium.

Bands belted out rock 'n' roll, lavish buffets served gourmet entrees, and massage therapists helped relieve the stress for those forced to flee their homes because of wildfires.

Oh sure, foie gras and massages for us, but what about our pets? It's been two days and the dog masseuse is nowhere to be found.

Now we just have to wait for the comparisons between New Orleans and San Diego. But you don't have to wait for Al Sharpton to explain it: the big difference between these two stadiums is that it didn't take the National Guard 24 hours to drive the first 50 miles in San Diego. Rescue is easier when there isn't hurricane damage to drive through.
