Corpses and guns are being found in the search for Katrina survivors.
Rescue workers searching the White House for signs of survivors of the Katrina disaster said they had several incidents where workers thought they found humans, but found only press releases, campaign promises, the skeletal remains of political careers and a lot of low-caliber political guns and ammunition, instead. Local District of Columbia authorities explained their reluctance to come to the aid of White House residents during the fiasco as a "misunderstanding about jurisdiction." "We thought they were in charge," explained D.C. Mayor Anthony A. Williams.
White House residents were forced to survive on dwindling stores of bottled arrogance and freeze-dried political entitlements while waiting for the door-to-door search teams to rescue them.
Guard teams assigned to assess the White House expected to meet some resistance from armed looters of the National Treasury holed up in the famous edifice. "There was evidence of looting, and some disturbing indications of ritual sacrafice, but we don't think anyone survived." said John Doe, head of the Guard team assigned the grisly detail.
