So the polls are coming out that an astounding majority of America is outraged over the way the president has handled the crisis in the Gulf of Mexico. A little too late now to realize, don't ya think?
Y'know what, America? We tried to warn you. I specifically remember having conversations with many of you regarding my absolute disdain for Bush and how anyone could possibly like him at all. "I just like him. That's all." "He's likable." "He's like an everyday person."
Yeah, he sure looks like one now, doesn't he?
Louisianna, Mississippi, Alabama, you voted this fucker in. Way to go! Look how you're making out. I know I'm being harsh, but maybe if you, oh I don't know, got your Baptist asses away from your 10 hour services and read a book called Origin of the Species by this guy named Charles Darwin you'd see how his words relate to all this. You were dumb and easily mislead. You didn't check your facts and do your homework. Now you fight to hang on while the strong and (although I hate to admit it) clever survive.
Some people say that this whole thing is God's way of punishing the city of New Orleans for its debauchery. I disagree. This is pure Darwinism to me. And I realize that there are excpetions to this and not everyone down there voted for Bush. For those people, I feel truly bad.
With all this said, I have already given to the Red Cross and I will continue to give as I can. I'm saddened to see a city that I enjoyed so much with its fun, food and music completely destroyed. My heart aches to go see the Spotted Cat one more time, have a hurricane from Bourbon St. Liquors and eat some aligator off of a stick at the French Market. I hope someday it's all restored.
And I hope we all learn from this.
