2. The National Enquirer on TV!
What a silly thing to put on the nightly news.

And it's really reassuring to know that the guardsmen are succumbing to mass superstition. :\

3. Ack! Don't dis the haints.
When I drove across the Lake Ponchartrain bridge, the hair began to stand up on the back of my neck. New Orleans has some strange supernatural energy going on ;)

6. You can tell the stress level is sky high
In the highly unlikely case those spooks really exist, I would think they'd be happy to see the charitable and passionate response to the damage done to New Orleans.

Marie Leveau, the celebrated "Witch Queen", was a devout Christian as well as an adherent of Voudon, who often told her followers to be kind and charitable, as Jesus before them taught. How would her shade respond to the effort to save New Orleans? The Juju would be quite good.

But spirits almost certainly don't exist. Superstition plus stress is a formula for trouble. We have an excellent example of that in the White House (who is often away from the White House).

9. How STUPID!!!
"You may think I'm crazy", woman 'reporter' says... (lil 'disclaimer' there on her part) - (BUT, YES, I DO THINK YOU'RE CRAZY)......(she continues on: This hole in the ceiling is really FREAKING EVERYBODY OUT! The other side of this wall - there's a supply closet and that's REALLY FREAKY"

:rofl:

:wtf: These people who are afraid of supply closets really need some serious therapy! Soooon! :eyes:
