Katrina: The Gathering

Katrina: The Gathering
George Bush, American Nero

A couple of guys, who go by the names of Ubiq and Lum, have created their own version of the popular trading card game Magic: The Gathering based on the whole Katrina mess. In their own words: This is the combined effort of Ubiq and Lum to use our mighty ubergeek powers to laugh in the face of that which cannot be explained. No offense is intended, unless offended is a Bureaucrat or Politician creature.

Ubiq and Lum have done a pretty good job lampooning both the left and the right and quite a few in between. And even if you’re not a familiar with Magic: The Gathering, it’s worth a look just to see some of the quotes contained on the cards which range from the stupid politician quotes “Brownie, you’re doing a heck of a job”, to light night talk show jabs “To recap: This guy [Bush] came down four days later to mourn Trent Lott’s house… while I Am Sam waded through toxic sludge in a dinghy.”

Also, they are taking suggestions for new cards on Lum’s (or is it Ubiq’s?) site. There are quite a few comments there already, but add your own and perhaps your idea will be immortalized on a Katrina: The Gathering card.
