Never mind the looters

While much of middle-class America gasps in horror at looting in hurricane-affected areas, the far-right fringe has its eye on the real issue: Why God chose to destroy New Orleans:

"Although the loss of lives is deeply saddening, this act of God destroyed a wicked city," stated Repent America director Michael Marcavage. "From 'Girls Gone Wild' to 'Southern Decadence,' New Orleans was a city that had its doors wide open to the public celebration of sin. From the devastation may a city full of righteousness emerge," he continued.

New Orleans is also known for its Mardi Gras parties where thousands of drunken men revel in the streets to exchange plastic jewelry for drunken women to expose their breasts. This annual event sparked the creation of the "Girls Gone Wild" video series.

Gosh, I hope he has an explanation for the four multi-billion-dollar hurricanes to hit Florida in 2004.
