In the name of all that is good and holy, won't somebody go to the Abita Brewery and guard its precious stores of beer from the storm and the marauding postapocalyptic hordes?! How stupid was I to come to St. Paul, when clearly I am needed in Abita Springs. I do hope that some men and women of valor from the region will hack through post-Gustavian downed trees and whatnot to reach the brewery's sacred confines.
Save the Turbo Dog from Gustav!

Spilling over from a different thread, *this* may have been the Grail that Percival found and that Lancelot lost in Walker Percy's book!
And for you non-alcohol drinkers out there, Abita's root beer is superb!
but what if the storm destroys the brewery?
why...
it could be rebuilt!
hmmmm...
there's an idea...
let's rebuild New Orleans!
again!!
and again and again!!!
I mean...
what else is there to do with our federal tax dollars?
rebuild, I say...
safety faith hope love joy peace to all...
Forgive God...
it's "His" storm, after all...
hehehehe... Coulter is a parody... She tames down the left's hate and anger and then pitches it back at them.
Coulter may make you mad, but then she has nothing like the wild and virulent hatred the professional haters on the left spew.
Ummm...
Getting back to the topic, I'm personally hoping that Sarah Palin will come storming into Abita Springs armed with a chainsaw and M-16 to clear out the storm-wreckage and restore law and order. Abita for the VP and whiskey for her horses! (or something like that)
Seriously, though, there's a strange calm in Baton Rouge right now - just a little rain and mild wind.
It's going to be a long day. I'll open an Abita Amber for you once this passes and we assess damage.
Remember us all in your prayers!
