| They actually did it. They finally went and did it, a literal, honest-to-Cthulhu shit-storm. And who better to be right in the middle of it? (Updates death toll, shots fired near interior minister) GAZA, March 27 (Reuters) - Raw sewage erupted from holding pools and swept through a village in the northern Gaza Strip on Tuesday, causing at least three deaths and many injuries, Palestinian rescue workers said. They said dozens of residents of Gaza's small Bedouin Village were still unaccounted for after the sewage overflowed from ground-level treatment pools, knocking down many makeshift homes. Hospital officials said at least 15 people were injured. It was not immediately clear what caused the sewage to erupt from the pools. Palestinian Interior Minister Hani al-Qawasmi, who rushed to the village to survey the damage, came under attack from angry gunmen who fired shots over his head, local witnesses said. Qawasmi was whisked to safety in a police car. Disaster relief, Paleo style. Ray Nagin only thinks he got a lot of this over Katrina. Whatever the cause turns out to be, we can rest assured that the US and Israel will get the blame. America's champion Kool-Aid guzzler, Rosie "Beast" O'Donnell, might even add it to her growing list of conspira-lie links. |

| #25 "Yeah they are suffering from poverty; a poverty of irony!" More like a poverty of basic intelligence and work ethic. I helped my neighbors and my family put in septic service to our homes when I was a teenager. It's NOT THAT HARD. It does require work, but so does just about everything else in life. Only the Arabs want everything given to them, and only top quality at that. Then they want someone else to also keep it maintained, and all at someone else's expense. We really ought to quarantine the entire lot, fence them off from the real world, and let them live their 7th-Century dream life. |

| #23 This couldn't have happened to a more deserving bunch of people. Congratulations, Paleos! We look forward to the continuing failure of your basic infrastructure for our base amusement. |

| #18 A shit volcano? Another article headlined it as a "Sewage Tsunami". At least their food shortage is over. Now they can fish for "brown trout" in the gutters. As in: "Eat shit and die!" The Palestinians blaming America for this is like Iran claiming that we're responsible for all of their plane crashes, even the Soviet aircraft disasters. Perish the thought that if they just stopped trying to kill everything that moves for more than five minutes, maybe this world might be a little more accommodating. |

| #17 Given this village is about 300 yards from the Israeli border, the residents are probably more stewed about the poop-filled tunnels and shite covered Kassams that are (temporarily) out of commission than their shacks. Funding for the project was already secured. The hold-up was the violence and, well, crappy-attitude of the locals towards the project. Drowned in their own sh*t. How appropriate. It's going to take hours to stop laughing. |

| #15 Palestinian Interior Minister Hani al-Qawasmi, who rushed to the village to survey the damage, came under attack from angry gunmen who fired shots over his head... Yeah, that's their solution to everything. Shoot at it. |

| #13 Sea, Caramel is one thing, but butter, that's cruel. I haven't even had lunch yet. BTW, for anyone that's interested, I have a suggestion. (Paleo reg. reqd.) |

| #12 Saw pictures on FoxNews.com. Some of the paleo's brought guns to the site of the problem. Couldn't be more appropriate. |

| #11 No, and that's not butter topping, either. |

| #10 Just a guess, but, this is probably not the right time to ask someone to pass the caramel coated popcorn. |

| #8 The Israeli's would fix it in a heartbeat. If you quit blowing them up. |

| #7 "The Israeli army offered humanitarian assistance to help clean up the spill. There was no word on whether the offer had been accepted" Why would the Israelis bother? Let them |

#6 Sure enough, the US gets the blame.The Water Authority's Kawash said Gaza's poor infrastructure was to blame for the accident. |

| #5 I remember reading somewhere that Gaza was regarded as a filthy hellhole even in Roman times. Can some of the classical scholars among the Rantbourgeoisie shed some light on this? I do know that Gaza was the target for the last authenticated attack by the famed Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress. The IDF's 3 B-17s---smuggled from the US by the great movie pilot Paul Tallmantz during the '48 war and later converted for maritime patrol---were used to bomb land targets in Gaza during the '56 war. |

| #4 I'm guessing they noticed because everything got wet. |

| #3 It erupted, huh? A shit volcano? |
| Posted by: Deacon Blues 2007-03-27 07:21 |
| #2 It was not immediately clear what caused the sewage to erupt from the pools. I'd be betting on gas. Is Paleo food hot or just a lot of beer? |

| #1 Sewage "erupts"? Only in Gaza! Everyplace else, it flows downhill, suggesting a breach in the pond wall - or dike - or levee. Levee!?!?!! The Republicans blew up another levee? Yeah, that'll work. |
