Nobody helped America during Hurricane Katrina

KQRS MS Theme: Misinformation

Terri is Tom Barnard's sidekick with severe learning disabilities.
Unfortunately for women, Terri is the sole voice of the female
perspective on the KQ morning show. Terri is terribly inadequate at her
rather simple job. She likes to shorten words like "Delicious" to
"Delish" and "Ugly" to "Ug" in a Fargoesque monotone. She has a great
deal of difficulty operating complex new technologies such as "The
Telephone". Her strategic value to the show seems to be making Tom
Barnard look like a genius. Imagine an overweight Nick Lachey and
Jessica Simpson minus the good looks. The KQ listeners are fond of
Terri's middle-aged "rack". The listeners excitedly remind her she has
breasts much to Miss Trane's delight. Recently, Terri quickly jumped to
conclusion and complained about the lack of global assistance for the
Katrina disaster. She implied America helps the world but nobody
reciprocates.

Let's quickly dismiss this utterly false allegation. All those "bad"
foreign countries that sent help:

More than 143 countries and international organizations have pledged in
excess of $800 million in cash assistance to the U.S. government for
victims of Hurricane Katrina, and hundreds of millions more have been
promised to charitable groups offering disaster relief, according to
the State Department. Apparently, even the people most despised by KQMS
got into the act:

The largest donation, to date, is from oil-rich Kuwait, which has
provided $100 million in cash and has offered $400 million worth of
oil. The entire package has been accepted, Mr. Thomas said. Two other
Persian Gulf nations -- Qatar and the United Arab Emirates -- each have
donated $100 million. Saudi Arabia has promised nearly $5.3 million in
funds from Saudi Refining Inc., a Houston-based subsidiary of Saudi
Aramco, and from the Arab Gulf Programme for United Nations Development
Organizations. Its contribution was relatively modest compared with
other wealthy nations in the Gulf region and with the offers of
impoverished nations, such as Bangladesh, which offered $1 million.
The people of the United States are deeply grateful for the generous
assistance provided by Pakistan for the victims of hurricane Katrina,
says a press release issued here by US embassy. Pakistan has donated $1
million to the American Red Cross as a gesture of solidarity and
sympathy by the government and the people of Pakistan to the government
and people of the United States, who have been affected by this massive
natural disaster. The Government of Pakistan also plans to send a
consignment of goods with a value of $500,000 to support the relief
work in the areas affected by the hurricane. "On behalf of the people
of the United States, President George W. Bush and Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice, the US Mission in Pakistan takes this opportunity to
express its heart-felt appreciation for this gracious
assistance."Such an outpouring of generosity provides both material
and moral support, which mean a great deal to the victims of this
terrible natural disaster and to all Americans," the press release
said.

Introduction

The 92.5 KQRS morning show, a popular radio show in Minnesota, is one of the most provacative radio broadcasts in America. The KQ morning show follows the all too familiar format of demonizing traditional bogeys such as immigrants, minorities, faiths, nationalities and cultures.
This blog intends to expose the inherent hypocrisy and fallacies behind KQMS' racist, sexist, xenophobic, sex-obsessed rhetoric.
