form of Bottled water and busses to
Houston. Hoop-dee-damn-doo.
In no way am I a caring person. I hate
many a thing, be it careless drivers and long lines at
the porn shop. But I cannot sit here in my air-conditioned
home, drinking my cold beer as I take a dump in my working
toilet and not ask: Why in the fiery Christ did it take
so long for the American Government to act? The days before
Hurricane Katrina, five-ton army trucks filled with pimple-faced
National Guard should have been getting those people out.
Shit, I was watching jerk-off News reporters fight the
wind to go to mailboxes and I thought to myself: What
in the hell is that asshole doing? I’d be out like
the trash on a Thursday. Even as Katrina washed away people,
homes and worldly possessions still the US did nothing?
But fuck my ass if it was Kazakhstan or
Indo-China you’re goddamn right the US would be
there five million military personal deep with oodles
of food and Bush would smile his grinchy smile and give
a rousing speech filled with mispronunciations and clichés.
I’ll tell you now what is important to the current
government, fruitless wars and making $$$ while the American
people can fuck themselves slow.
I cannot believe it took five goddamn
days for Government relief to show up. But was it in the
form of food and water? Nope, it was armed soldiers with
shoot-to-kill orders, some still fresh from the melee
of Iraq. Ok granted people were rioting but not due to
some maliciousness like say…invading foreign troops,
they had no food, no water and carcasses littered the
streets like discarded bundles of clothes. Those people
were crying out. If this outrages me, a person who spends
most of his time drinking and drawing dicks on unconscious
party-goers, then what would it do to a person who readily
sends aide to broken people?
I can already tell how this will go. ‘8-29-2005’
Magnetic ribbons and those little elastic bracelets will
clog the market and be sold for 800% mark-up and some
pittance will be ‘donated’ to the “Suffering
people of this great tragedy.” In the months during
the clean up, a handful of celebrities and government
officials with be photographed picking up a discarded
PVC pipe or generic piece of debris and be labeled ‘Kind,
and in touch with the people’ while a horridly sappy
country song will surface with painfully misplaced patriotic
undertones.
“Hurricane Katrina, we hate you…you
made our people hurt.
Now you will be hunted down and your face rubbed in the
dirt,
Weather cannot stop America, weather your time is due,
God knows and loves us, you can’t flood the Red
white and blue.”
The chorus would be something like that
but sung by a gravely voiced songster backed up with a
wah-pedal and children’s choir while images of the
American flag super-imposed onto pictures of ragged people
embracing and a doll floating in ruddy water flashes on
a stadium big-screen.
I think now is the time for us to take
care of our own and fix this country. Get rid of bureaucrats
that only care about putting another tier on their estates
fashioned out of mammoth ivory and dodo eggs. Out with
war-mongering profiteers and focus on our schools, streets,
unemployed and national disasters. Five days people, hell
France could do better than that. I read a report where
the official estimate to drain the water was 30-80 days,
which is obliviously padded. I’m thinking more in
the neighborhood of five months to drain the chemical-rich
water filled with bloated corpses and more feces then
a state fair outhouse. But what the hell do I know?
Out
War is piece
Freedom is slavery
Ignorance is strength
