I get the joke, Ray. It's ridiculous and that's the humor. I think the powers that be will shut 'er down though.

If we can't find humor in our world's tradegies, 80% of the population would end up putting a bullet in their heads. Consider my post political in nature as opposed to making lite of the devistation.

The only thing missing in the picture is the Governor and Mayor. But then again the picture shows at least Bush is doing something which is more then what the local government did so maybe it's appropriate to leave them out.

Yeah that was circulating around work earlier this week. Bush haters will think it's funny, Bush supporters will think it's stupid.

Maybe the fish escaped from here, the New Orleans Aquarium.

I heard on the news that the fish were so overwhelmed by the toxins in the water that they were jumping out of the water. They probably were not able to get enough oxygen.
I found this also, about what happened to the fish in the N.O. Aquarium

I laughed also. I don't like Bush but I would have laughed if it had been Bill and Hillary because the picture is so absurd and incongruous, which supposedly are two common elments of humor.

Sort of like a picture of Mayor Ray Nagin holding a dictionary.

I fail to see the humor. In fact I found it quite disrespectful. I have no problem with those that think this is funny I hope everyone checks in to say what they think.

Humor at the expense of the victims would be in bad taste. Bush wasn't a victim. There may be some that find it politically offensive, but casual everyday political cartoons can be much more severe in their expression.
For those predicting the death of this thread, it really depends on the behavior of the thread itself, and not the cartoon.
