[Kind of amusing](http://www.trentlottsporch.com/) > [@](#): > > When Bush arrived in Biloxi, Miss. on September 2nd, he made a deeply felt speech in response to the devastation he witnessed and the stories he heard: > > “Out of the rubbles of Trent Lott’s house – he’s lost his entire house – there’s going to be a fantastic house. And I’m looking forward to sitting on the porch,” he said, referring to the former Senate majority leader who lost his 154-year-old family home in Pascagoula, Miss. > > I’m sure that the million people left homeless and the families of the 10,000 (just guesses at this point) dead were comforted. Eventually this horror will seem like a dream because Trent Lott will have a fabulous house again. > > I, too, look forward to sitting on Trent Lott’s rebuilt porch, sipping a cool drink and enjoying the breeze from the Mississippi, someday soon. If life’s been tough for you lately and you’d like to join us on the porch, you can tell the world by putting this bumper sticker on your expensively tanked up car. > > Buying this bumper sticker has a more serious purpose, too, because all proceeds from sales will go to several different Katrina charities. These charities are all highly rated by [charitynavigator.org](http://charitynavigator.org). In order to demonstrate good faith an update of amounts raised will be posted here often. ---

Heh. I like that idea. Let’s see if we can get Lott to throw a cookout or something. ---

I think all the folks now homeless from Katrina should be allowed to camp on George’s ranch in Crawford until they get back on their feet. ---

It’s not just Trent Lott’s porch. It’s AMERICA’S porch! And I say Americans should have every right to sit on it! What are you, a terrorist? ---

I wanna do something on Trent Lott’s porch that rhymes with sit. ---

I too would like to sit on Trent Lott’s porch but only as long as Mr. Blue Sky hasn’t already visited. I hope we have a good representation or all races, creeds and sexual orientations and we can all hold hands and sing “We Are the World” while Mr. Lott serves us Iced Tea and shows us that “southern hospitality” we hear so much about. There should be a nice cool breeze, too, what with hell having recently frozen over. ---
