Nice shoutout to The Defiant Ones. The career of Tony Curtis never fails to amaze me. He worked with Sidney Poitier, Jack Lemon, and Cary Grant. Holy crap!
I remember 1993. I was recovering from a bout of mono (a much more serious disease in your 30s than in your teens) when the Racoon River backed up and took out the water plant (of all things). The Mississippi and Missouri run along the state's borders, and there's a shitload of water in between. Anyway, yeah... we depended on the kindness of strangers, and the federal government to dry us out.
It's unclear why everyone has such nondescript names in King's racist Mayberry anecdotes. I'm guessing it's because Goober, Gomer, Opie and Ernest T Bass are already taken.
The wonderful, beautiful people of NOLA showed some of the best of humanity during and after Katrina!
JD Scholten came within an error margin of beating him. I call shenanigans.
hurricane damage is a bit different than flood water damage
They didn't handcuff him to Sidney Poitier...
I should hope not! Mr. Poitier never did anything to deserve being around Steve King!
Yes!
Yes!!
YEEESSSS!!!
I distinctly remember images of black "looters" raiding stores, while white "survivors" were searching for supplies.
The racial animus was shocking even back then.
I also remember the snipers who arrived so they could engage in some live-action target practice.
I am still waiting for my hippocampus to process this.
I like the analogy, but peanut butter resents it.

It was literal back then... with sewers overflowing and having to wade out my front door.
Won't somebody tell Rep. King that his comb-over looks like a yeti-fur yarmulke?
This shit fucking sends my blood pressure through the roof. Thank god for lisinopril.

That they did. I never met nicer, kinder, more generous, more friendly people anywhere in the world.
