Katrina Anniversary Plus One


At least President Bush can now admit that he screwed up the Katrina response--big time. Admission is the first step to recovery. Too bad it took 365 days to say it. When I heard it, I couldn't help but think of Stevie Wonder singing about Richard Nixon over 30 years ago.

We are amazed but not amused
By all the things you say that you'll do
Though much concerned but not involved
With decisions that are made by you

But we are sick and tired of hearing your song
Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong'
Cause if you really want to hear our views
"You haven't done nothing"!

It's not too cool to be ridiculed
But you brought this upon yourself
The world is tired of pacifiers
We want the truth and nothing else

And we are sick and tired of hearing your song
Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong'
Cause if you really want to hear our views
"You haven't done nothing"!

The Gulf Coast will have its eye on you, W. I truly hope you're being sincere. Katrina will still be a problem after mid-term elections this fall. Are you going to give us great soundbites on the anniversary and then forget about us again?

God knows the media has. Yesterday was "Katrina Overload Day." Now they've moved on to more important things: polygamists and perverts.

Maybe I'm being too hard on media exploitation. Wait, maybe not. I guess we'll see you again in 3 years and 364 days.

Need a good laugh? Read this article from Assimilated Press about New New Orleans.

What does the N. stand for Fitch?

The "N" stands for 'n' (like "The Fitches 'n' DarDars"). And let's just say that loverbutt is very perceptive.

I am also out of state in the smack-dab center of this country. But I'm not a evacuee or refugee. I have been forced to live all over the country for a while now because of my job.

And yes, I agree with you. People really don't have a clue out here. I actually addressed it in a earlier column ("The Declaration"). It's amazing how much disinformation they have been fed.
