Save the beer and the broad in New Orleans Posted by Picasa

This picture caught my eye and held it. Where do you suppose the guy and the raft were heading? Did they make it? What did they do with the dog?
I'll just bet these people are on a pilgrimage from Duffy's Tavern to a grass shack on Key West. Somehow they have the look of Democrats about them. You can sometimes tell by estimating their ability to create a hanging chad or two.
The ACLU saw this photo and immediately filed suit to stop this gentlemen from bothering the fish. Two lawyers managed to convince a Judge that together with the Sierra Club they could clearly get damages from this beer swigging couple for threatening the environment.
Seeing the ACLU success, the city of New Orleans drew up a suit on the rather shaky grounds that these two people obviously do not have a license to operate their boat, and they do not sppear to have a fire extinquisher on board, and they clearly are poluting the city's water supply.
Now you might ask why all of this concerns a blog entitled Theology.Whiz? It's because these two brilliant Americans, escaping with the beer and a bible on a home build raft, deserve a prayer and thanks for showing us that Horatio Alger is not dead.
Yet.
