Aha, the local fishwrap here....

The Los Angeles Times is great.

Should you read it in the bathroom, like I do, it distracts you from the methane produced!


It all comes down to money.

Everyone (you and I) don't want to pay taxes, so wer strong arm our legislators and get pissed off when the special interest groups get their hooks into their skin.

If we all payed attention there would be no crooked politicians, we only have ourselves to blame

-----------------------------------

There was a few stories tonight on the telly.

One was of a woman who was working at Walmart, 4 days after she was stranded next to the Superdome.. Walmart offered positions to all employees who lost their jobs in the storm,


Another story was of a woman who was relocated to Houston...

what was she doing her third or fourth day there?

Riding the bus lines looking for the place where she was going to start her new life over.

----------------------------------

and then there was the woman who called a local El Lay radio station to lament the fact that her daugther's first year of law school was ruined because of the hurricane.

The gal escaped to Shreveport, Louisiana with her roommate.

Both were attending Temple Uni (????)

Three states got kicked in the crotch and this woman was worried about her daughter's career as a lawyer.


She probably wouldn't graduate in time to take part in the lawsuits against FEMA and the government....

An opportunity wasted....
