Piss Ant(s)
Damn them all.
First off, let me apologize for the piss ants without tact who've been posting in the comments section. All comments have been deleted and, as such, comments have been turned off. Again, sorry.
Second, to the big piss ant with the tan from his recent vacation, fuck you. Most of you who know me could guess I'm not a fan of the President, but I normally keep my more pointed opinions to myself. However, his speech today really set me off. "New Orleans will rise again. New Orleans is a great city. I remember coming to this city when I lived in Texas to have a good time. Sometimes too good a time (chuckle chuckle)."* Yeah, you got your priorities straight. And this isn't just due to the recent stream of posts about how I feel about the city as a whole and others' view of it as a weekend party. And, though I'm not going to touch the recent allegations regarding the governments actions or ineptitude, it does speak for the direction in which they're approaching this disaster.
Bravo to the Mayor of New Orleans, though. "No more press conferences. Put a moratorium on press conferences until troops are here, too many armed forces and supply trucks to count. You said 40,000 troops are coming, but they're not here NOW!"* Following this, when the General (who's name I didn't catch) with the convoys came in, Nagan then said, "I give props to the President. He sends one John Wayne general down here and he's getting things done. He steps off the chopper and starts cussing and he's getting things done."* He's got his head on straight.
I'm sorry to be bashing members of the government. I know I'm missing information and am only angry and the most salient features to me at the moment. I understand we need to stick together as a country and concentrate on the issues at hand. But this how I feel, and it's all I'm going to say on the topic.
I'm far too heated right now to write further, but to my friends who've recently heard from Tulane, I hope to talk with you soon. I know I'm living in the middle of not much, but whether you're just passing through or feel like getting away from the questions and the frustrations for a longer stay, my apartment is open to you for as long as you wish. Anything you guys need, I'm here in whatever limited capacity I can offer.
