More Media Relief
During this last week there have been a wave of benefits for Hurricane Katrina. I don't know how much good this will do because Hurricane Katrina is already gone.
But really, since I've been driving for the accursed Chanello's this month, I have been pretty much listening to talk radio non-stop and I have concluded that there was absolutely no plan in place on the local level for what do about a hurricane that was predicted to come for years. The Louisiana state charter in fact has contingency plans about what to do in case of a hurricane. There were emergency buses that could have been used to get the black people out of town that are now complaining about lack of food, water, and shelter, and honeybuns. Hurricane Katrina was so big that the state had 3 days notice - clearly it was going to do some major damage.
So then, is the reason that there is no public outcry against the black mayor of New Orleans, and the governor of Louisiana who is a woman, because it's just easier to blame George Bush?
In case you didn't know, Federal relief has to be requested by the state for Federal help to flow in. In this case, the help was requested an entire day after Katrina had hit.
Does it surprise anyone that a black man and a woman want the Federal Government to do everything for them?
Why am I so bothered by people thinking that this is George Bush's problem? Because it is just stupid, that's why.
B.E.T. had a ridiculous benefit concert the other day called S.O.S. (Saving Ourselves) and Bill Clinton called in to offer his support. The announcer Steve Harvey asked him what he would have done differently if he were still the President.
Bill Clinton made nice about it. He didn't attack Bush, and he didn't say,"Boy I'll come down there and bitch slap you if you're going to be talking about our President like that." But maybe he should have said that.
Why do black members of Congress think that Bush hates black people? Does anyone realize that the Federal Government is slow to do anything?
Once again, in case you didn't catch it. The mayor of New Orleans is a whiny loser in sore need of a bitch slap. There have been countless celebrities out there for a photo op to look good, and supposedly to raise "awareness" of the cause; so why hasn't the mayor been out there helping people?
And One More Thing that's not about the Hurricane
I just got my used 40 gig ipod in the mail the other day from Ebay User bigrob18293, and it immediately didn't work. When I told the guy that, he said,"It was working perfectly before I sent it, I'm not sure what to tell you. Try an Apple Store maybe? Nice doing business with you."
Wow. Maybe this guy should consider running a large town and letting George Bush handle his problems for him and then blame him when he doesn't come fast enough to suit him.
Seriously, does anyone except personal responsibility for anything anymore?
I need my Ipod bigrob18293, and I need it now.
