Kentucky Governor Ernie Fletcher's office called on faith-based organizations and his citizens to support relief efforts after the devastation of Hurrican Katrina, and his Communications office released the following phone numbers for the American Red Cross:AMERICAN RED CROSS NUMBERS TO CALL TO REGISTER:
1-800-438-4636 ( 1-800-"GET HELP")
1-800-438-4637 ( 1-800-"HELP NOW"

Only one problem--that second number isn't for the Red Cross. It's a phone sex line. (http://www.bluegrassreport.org/bluegrass_politics/2005/09/governor_fletch_1.html)

The world is full of comedic gold if you only look for it. :D

EDIT: Thought I'd better clarify--that link goes to a blog, not to porn.

"Oh, so you want to spend some money on Katrina, do you baby? That's $4.99 for the first minute and $1.99 a minute for everything after that." :D

LOL, thats great, dunno how I didn't hear about that one today lol

:edit: hmm, anybody have a link to an "OFFICIAL" post of this, not a "look at our screwed up politics" page? I'm being to lazy to look it up right now. Its kinda amusing considering the number listed isn't even CLOSE to the numbers you get from GET HELP heh
