Sunday, September 4, 2005In Hiding...
I'm really not, but I am... Sort of...
I currently have misplaced my internet access at home so until Thursday, I won't have it. So I won't be blogging until then, which seems like a shame considering I have so MUCH to say about Katrina and by then it will be old news.
(Regardless of the devistation, this country's lack of an attention span will move Katrina out of the spot light shortly. It's sad, but true. Remember the name of that little girl who was abducted in Idaho? Neither does anyone else.)
My main complaints are:
1) Looters. Hey, dumbfuck. What are you going to do with that computer? There's NO GOD DAMNED POWER!!!
I feel terrible for the people still there and if I was a NOLA cop and saw someone looting food, water and other essentials I'd turn the other way. But computers and televisions?! Please.
2) Federal Response. Everyone is going nuts about the lack of Federal response and National Guard troops. Hey, guess what? The National Guard is under the control of the STATE, not the feds, unless they are activated by the feds. Monday, before the storm was even past Mississippi the good governor of LA should have had those troops activated and getting ready to roll.
Your complaints about GWB are valid in most cases, but not in this one. In fact it is our endless reliance on the Federal government that causes a lot of grief. We're constantly being cuddled in this psydo-nanny state where no matter what happens that is bad, the feds will come riding in on their white horses with their shiny armor and save us.
Then when it doesn't happen like people wanted, they get all pissed off. Including the swear word using (not that swear words are bad things!) mayor of NOLA.
You know what I have to say about him? He's a jackass.
Listen, they had AT LEAST 2 days warning that this thing would probably nail NOLA. All weekend long the mets on tv went on about the massive destruction that this storm would cause. So what does he do? He waits till the eleventh hour to order an evacuation, but doesn't do ANYTHING to get the poor and crippled out of NOLA. NOTHING! He expects them to hobble on down to the Superdome to wallow in their own filth till President Bush comes riding into town and rescues them.
People are calling this guy a hero and praising him for what he's said. Personally I think he should be thrown in jail with the looting rif-raf for condemming thousands to death.
Anyway, I guess I did get to rant a little bit. Some people in the Spring Valley branch of the Clark County Library are looking at me as I have been silently cursing as I type, but that cool.
I hope everyone (looters aside) that is still stuck in what's left of NOLA gets out safely. My thoughts are with you. You can't read this, but still, good luck.
