Title: Blowin' in the wind.
Post by: deet on September 05, 2005, 11:28:36 PM
Do I want to be the first to make this comparison? No, but I will.
Do you want to read it? It may anger you.

This is insensitive, and uncaring. I am not. I apologize in advance, and if you are emotionally affected by Hurricane Katrina, this is the kind of thing that will make your blood boil,


New Orleans is blowin' in the wind.
Just like Haiti, last year.
Yeah, I said it.

Georgie and Katrina,
blowin' over trees...
Trees where cities used to be.

Georgie and Katrina,
blowin' over trees...
Have you helped a refugee?

This might make me sound like a jerk, but the only thing that bothers me about NO is that Verthaine is missing.

It doesn't make you sound like a jerk, just like most of the world. It's just news unless someone you know is involved.

You are a Republican. Don't you read your own rants?

Oh. You meant that other kind of Republican. Sorry. My bad.

Nah, not really.  But remember the details anyway.  The details will come in handy at election time. :twisted:

It's also a reminder that if a Hurricane comes your way, or any other natural disaster, terrorist attack, locust plague, Ashlee Simpson concert, that you are fucking on your own.  Don't count on any other help than the two hands attached to your arms.

Which kinda sucks for those who got completely fucked by this class-striated economy, and who can't affort a car, or gas if they did, or a bus ticket, or even a place to go.

Which means we need to start a constitutional amendment mandating that every man, woman, and child is supplied with their very own rocket pack.

yeah, until he said in a show that the terrorists weren't "cowards" as they
were called in the news...

justification: the terrorists blow themselves up, unafraid of death, while
our response at that time was to launch missles into afghanistan from
naval aircraft carriers 2000+miles away.

made sense to me.

"No, i'm not saying 'support these guys'; i'm SAYING that maybe calling
them cowards pigeon holes them."

"Don't you think calling these guys cowards is underestimating them?"

etc..

of course, saying the truth is never popular.
