Another Disaster? America Says, "F--- 'em!"

Dear (Insert Disaster Stricken Leader's Name Here),

The recent quake in Pakistan has moved us all deeply. On behalf of the United States, I would like to say, "Are you f--kin' kidding me with this?" Half of the black people in New Orleans are still floating somewhere. We still haven't built anything where the World Trade Center was! And Saddam Hussein looks trim, fit and ready to start cleaning up the money-sucking mess we made in Iraq.

Sure, the Tsunami was a bit depressing - even bumped the last episode of 'Everybody Loves Raymond' by a half hour. Let me tell you, we all felt bad. We coughed up a bunch of cash, tolerated performances by a seventy five year old Modonna - without the bullet bra. And did I mention the lectures by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. BRAD F--KING PITT!?!?! Of course, we soon learned there weren't that many survivors to help, just a ton of new beachfront property for multinational hotels to build on.

Not long after, the US, the richest country in the world, forgot to send buses to keep black people from drowning in a flood. (A flood god promised George Bush and Pat Robertson). Let's face it, by now, no one cared. Most of the whites were out and watching the thing on cable and everything seemed back to normal. We were finally ready for the new season of Desperate Lost Enthusiasm.

Then, God-dammit, another disaster!!! PAKISTAN??? You know, it's just bad timing. I know it was the worst one - like seven gazillion people died. Let's face it, none of them were Nielson households. And none of them shopped at The Gap or knew how to pronounce "Vente Mocchiatta Latte". Sorry, Pakistan. I know you're an ally in the terribly successful war on terror and you've got great patterns and fabrics, but you're on your own.

I hope the fundamentalists are wrong. I really hope it's not God foretelling the coming of the Messiah or the end of the world. I hope it's just part of a bold new marketing campaign for Jesus.

God Bless America. And remember, you're either with us, or you're...uhm...you're not with us.

Sincerely,
