Give me your thieves, your lawless, and your armed


In wake of the floods that have submerged the greater New Orleans area, many of those that chose not to vacate the 'Big Easy' prior to Hurricane Katrina are now headed to Space City. The news outlets don't tell you that we already have many residents of the greater New Orleans here. Many of the ones now slated to arrive later this week, however, are the very same people that now fill our television sets by way of mass looting and lawlessnes. Apparently, they're welcome here now. But who am I to comment on the looters. After all, if you're gonna be out in a flooded city street only to be evacuated to a city where you don't know anyone, you got to have your bling-bling.

Given the numerous reports of how stingy the US and more particularly George Bush was in wake of the Southeast Asian Tsunami, I still have yet to hear one foreign nation contribute anything to rebuilding the Gulf Coast. Hell, I thought the Canadians (the French ones trying to succede Quebec) or France would've at least sent a letter of condolence. They had some sort of a vested interest.

I guess we know who our friends are. We're expected to be the world's policeman, the world's carpenter, and the world's hospital.

Just blame George Bush. That's what everyone else does.
