[random] Best idea I've heard all week...

I don't always see eye-to-eye with Dan Savage, but in this posting to The Stranger's blog, SLOG, he's dead on:

But if we really want to follow through—if we really want to make New Orleans whole—then we’ve got down there and drink just as soon as the city re-opens for business. I think a group of Seattle’s hard-drinking do-gooders should start working on a package tour to New Orleans once it’s booze & boobs & business as usual. Let's charter a couple of flights to New Orleans, book a couple of floors of a hotel, and head down there with money to spend, livers to abuse, and tits to flash.

*sigh* There are times when I hate being a responsible adult... ;-)
