I stole this but it's too funny...

Brad and Angelina are volunteering to help New Orleans:

New Orleanians breathed a collective sigh of relief last week, as celebrity
super-couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie confirmed they are in late-stage
negotiations to adopt New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin. The couple had been
frustrated in their recent attempts to adopt a Vietnamese child, due to
international legal restrictions preventing unmarried parents from adopting,
although they did adopt the child. No such restriction applies to Nagin,
according to Ann S. Williamson, Secretary of the Louisiana Department of
Social Services.

"Married, unmarried, gay, straight, space aliens, hell. They can have him,"
Williamson said at a joint news conference with Jolie, Pitt, and a scowling,
towel-swaddled Nagin.

Although it is hoped that simply removing Nagin - or "Baby Ray," as Jolie
has nicknamed him - from City Hall and remanding him to a nursery in the
couple's renovated French Quarter mansion will dramatically accelerate the
city's recovery, residents have not given up hope that the couple will also
adopt District Attorney Eddie Jordan and New Orleans Police Superintendent
Warren Riley.

"Well, you know, those two do tend to fight a lot, and they're sneaky,"
Jolie said. "Let's see if we can get this one to play nice first."

Gov. Kathleen Blanko announced that citizens can apply for adoption by Pitt
and Jolie through the governor's new "Road to Someone Else's Home Plan."
Delays began immediately, and the program is expected to make its first
awards no later than 2013.
