Looters?

Let the good times roll with the tides.

(Page 2 of 2)

'Cause its replacement is gonna cost the service station guy more.

"Okay. Then raise the price of the replacement gas, when it arrives with its higher tag. It's like the looters in New Orleans. They say they need the stuff, desperate times that have changed the game. But they go for the guns and ammo at the Wal-Mart, and TV sets, as well as chow. Ever try to munch on a 30-ought-6 shell -- or watch TV in a city without electricity?"

I saw a guy on Fox TV today ask the police chief of Miami why he figured the cops in New Orleans weren't stopping the looting -- shooting the looters. And he said the days of shooting looters are now far behind us.

"That may be a small comfort for Miamians. But at least they built the place above sea level."
