I haven't blogged in months. I really don't have the strength to. Emotionally, I am just whipped. I thought that I had finally found a job that would pay me enough to survive, and that I wouldn't have to worry about it closing it's doors and moving to Mexico in a year...
...but like so many factories/production companies as soon as it came time to start giving me some healthcare, they fired me, and hired some other poor schmuck, that they'll just fire when it comes time to give them benefits.
That's the America that I know.
...and it leaves me so sad that I just want to sleep, and I hope that when I wake up it won't be there anymore.
The Left Coaster points out, that in election year 2004, george "piece of shit" bush and his republican buddies (like his piece of shit brother jeb) diverted money for hurricane funding from New Orleans to Miami-Dade....
it also notes that, even though they were not affected by Hurricane, in six cases, FEMA reimbursed residents of Miami Dade Florida for damage caused by snow, and ice...
I call that corruption. And in the wake of Hurricane Katrina I call it murder.
A visibly upset Kanye West blurted out that "bush hates black people" on MSNBC's concert/fund raising show that they did, and MSNBC won't even report it. They might not agree with what he said, but they Still Have To Report It!!! What the hell is wrong with them?!?
And Kanye was right, george bush does hate black people. It's a powerful hatred. It's the kind where he doesn't even care if they live or die. He hates poor people too, and if your black and poor, and you live in America, you don't need me to tell you how much he hates you.
For the last five days I've watched poor black people die of starvation waiting for FEMA.
...and when I flipped past fox news, the anchor described it as "fun" and a lot like a sleep over. barbara bush said something along the lines of since they were poor and black living in a shelter isn't so bad for them. A step-up if you will.
My own brother said that the country is better off now that they're dead. Less people to collect welfare to use his words...
I will never speak to my brother again.
They are predicting that Katrina's death toll could be five times higher than that of 9/11...
...and half of the country is snickering about it.
The media has ignored the poor for so long they don't even understand the world they live in anymore. Stories of people hiding from helicopters, afraid of being hit with a bill for the rescue, has left pundits stunned, but I got news for 'em when my local emergency helicopter takes a person to the hospital, it costs that person anywhere from 5 to 10 thousand dollars, a ride in an ambulance costs about two thousand... I'd wave 'em off too.
bush has a new slogan today "A Tidal Wave of Compassion"
he's so big on code phrases "activist judge" means a judge that supports Roe v. Wade....
So you tell me, when he says "A Tidal Wave of Compassion" what is he getting at? It sure sounds like a wink and a nudge to all the racists, happy with the results of Katrina, to me...
I'm so tired.
