Rather a lazy bumper sticker

I saw a bumper sticker today that said:

TWO DISASTERS
KATRINA AND BALDACCI

I assume Katrina refers to the hurricane. Baldacci is our Governor (I'm in Maine).

Either there's a reference or a play on words here that I don't get, or this is a pretty lazy attempt at a smart-ass political bumper sticker.

Katrina barely affected Maine. Baldacci had nothing to do with Katrina. And I've been running this bumper sticker through my mind and I can't think of any way punning or wordplay could be involved.

I mean, you might as well say:

TWO BAD THINGS
DIABETES AND PELOSI

Or:

TWO THINGS THAT HURT
CATAPULTS AND SARAH PALIN

Or why not just dispense with any attempt at being a smart-ass and just slap a bumper sticker on your car that says:

I DON'T LIKE BALDACCI

Seems like it wouldn't be any less witty.

Obama Post

A fascinating nugget of wisdom from a Washington Post online chat about Obama rumors:

Cleveland, Tenn.: My Uncle Glenn, who raised me and with whom I would trust with my life, has heard on good authority that Obama is Muslim. Why does Obama keep suggesting otherwise? This makes Obama seem shifty and disingenuous. I could (maybe) deal with a Muslim president but (definitely) not a dishonest one.

Now, personally, I give this post about a ten percent chance of not being a troll.

Still, I absolutely applaud the use of Uncle Glenn as a serious source of information. In this history-making election between John McCain, a man brainwashed by the North Vietnamese to turn America into a Communist state[1] and Barack Obama, a fanatical Muslim intent on surrendering our country to terrorists[2], it's good to have reliable, impartial sources of information. An uninformed electorate back in 1992 elected Bill Clinton, a known child molester[3] who sold crack cocaine from the Oval Office[4] and had illicit relations with British Prime Minister John Major on April 16, 1995[5]. In 2000, George W. Bush, the son of a Nazi sympathizer[6] who fathered eleven black children and four Asian/Pacific Islander children between 1974 and 1978[7], was elected by a nation who was largely uninformed of his past. And he was very nearly unseated in 2004 by John Kerry, who paid a lookalike to go fight in Vietnam in his place[8] .
