About 20 minutes ago I would like to know did anybody Tivo CNN, because I just thought I heard Sean Penn in an interview with Soledad O'Brien and Doug brinkley say that the people needed food and Prophylactics. If anybody has heard that please let me know, I could have been wrong as I was getting a cup of coffee.
If he did, that'd be funny.
Re: Prophylactics
Maybe he needs it to plug the drain hole in his boat...
He learned a new word and couldn't wait to use it.
LOL
Now what was that you were getting again?
: ^ )
I think he meant shots.
Of course, the interviewer and Penn didn't pass up the opportunity to bash the Feds.
What a maroon.
I saw a commercial where a girl used a tampon to plug a leak in a boat. Sean could take a lesson.
It is also perhaps inconvenient to point out that major flood control projects that could have been completed by now were in fact cut—by the Clinton administration. From the New Orleans Times-Picayune in 1995 (isn’t the Internet fun?): “The Clinton administration is holding back a Corps of Engineers report recommending that the $120 million project proceed. …Without the improvements - a flood gate in the Harvey Canal and raised levees along the Intracoastal Waterway - a tidal surge produced by a hurricane ‘could result in the catastrophic loss of life and property damage,’ corps officials reported.” Not that the Bush administration stepped in to do more since, but given the time these projects take – one item of ACOE funding that the Bush Administration cut was for a study about upgrading the levees, and the study wouldn’t have been completed until, I believe, 2008. (As a side note, the Internet also lets us discover that the New York Times, now on its Olympian high horse condemning the irresponsibility of the Bush administration’s funding cuts for the ACOE, in fact, last April bitterly condemned the very same legislation as an expensive boondoggle. The paper thundered that “the bill would shovel $17 billion at the Army Corps of Engineers for flood control and other water-related projects — this at a time when President Bush is asking for major cuts in Medicaid and other important domestic programs.” Ah well, no one ever expects to hold them accountable for anything.)
The city of New Orleans over the years has managed to find hundreds of millions of dollars for other projects, from building the convention center and a variety of other typical municipal pork projects, millions of which seem to have disappeared into the maw of perhaps the most corrupt local government in the country, but they found nothing to fund their own flood control. Couldn’t pass a bond measure to upgrade their decrepit sewers and pumping system, though.
Acting to defend against or prevent something, especially disease; protective.
n.
1. A prophylactic agent, device, or measure, such as a vaccine or drug.
Not always a condom.
When he heard everyone was getting wet, he thought condoms would help the guys.
"I saw a commercial where a girl used a tampon to plug a leak in a boat"
Too bad no one thought of using some on the levees.
I believe he was referring to malaria prophylactics.
however, Sean Penn still an effing idiot
I thought it was "food and condos"? :-)
Prophylactic: Remedy that prevents or slows the course of an illness or disease
[Check a dictionary. It has meaning other than the most common meaning.]
Prophylaxis - vaccinations, antibiotics
If you're a thug and you're raping someone, obviously you're going to need prophylactics. Otherwise you might catch some horrible veneral disease. And we wouldn't want downtown New Orleans infested with rampant syphilis.
True, but that's for you, myself, and just about everyone else. Since Sean had to use all two of his brain cells to even pronounce the word, I'd say chances are he meant "Condom".
