Danielle Crittenden: Put Martha in Charge of The Katrina Clean-Up

One of the most popular television shows in post-Saddam Iraq is a TLC-style home make-over program for residents whose houses have been destroyed. A sexy host named Shaima Zubar (whose heavily applied make-up indicates that she is refreshingly indifferent to Islamic restraints) surprises her guests by showing up at their door and completely redecorating and refurnishing their otherwise destroyed properties.


Given the poor reviews of Martha Stewart’s new talk show, it occurred to me that there might be a better reality show opportunity for her in post-Katrina New Orleans.

Alas it’s too late for Martha to oversee the evacuation—undoubtedly she would have done a superior job to the local officials: Orderly numbered buses, painted in restful shades of gray, would have been lined up in advance of the hurricane to transport residents to cozily decorated and well-stocked stadiums. Pets would have been groomed, fed, and left in suitable temporary care. She might have devoted an entire episode to waterproofing one’s home.

But there’s still a chance for the sequel: Why not send Martha in to oversee the clean-up?

And she reveals, amazingly, that you can rebuild a levee using paper mache.

Why not Martha could she do any worse the richard-heads running the show now?

kudos
"fame, renown," 1799, from Gk. kyddos "glory, fame, renown," from kydos "glory, fame," lit. "that which is heard of" (see caveat). A singular noun in Gk., but the final -s is usually mistaken as a plural suffix in Eng., leading to the barbarous back-formation kudo (first attested 1941).

Yes, that Martha's a whiz! a bit of a cheezy whiz but a whiz all the same!

I can't wait to see the movie!

And Cybil Shepherd makes a fabulous Martha....she just brings her to life!

Say hester

For some strange reason that reminds me of the night on litkicks when Illuminara posted her "Does anyone want to fuck me" string. Not one women responded to it. She seemed puzzled by that fact. That woman had a way of being trashy with style.

Then someone posted one about "I am a cyber-whore" a woman I think.


Illuminara for what ever her motives I can trace the first cracks in my isolation going back to that night.
I wish her well.
The first time in years (I think it was only about 23 years back then )I became aware of what was not on the end of my dork.

nothing to do with all this, just a random responce to the words whore and slut.

ha ha

nice, judih, nice!

Oh yeah, Cybil most certainly did do Martha justice!
