My last post was entitled 'Goddamn the Fucking GOP.' And I meant it. I (inexpertly) addressed the class differences brought to light by what has happened on the Gulf coast, and (inexpertly) illustrated that the Republicans are now trying to make that gulf wider (the class difference gulf, not the Gulf of Mexico) by trying to pass some legislation under the political cover of complete and utter tragedy.
And, like I said, I meant it. God damn them.
And here's another choice piece for your reading pleasure: We Told You So.
I'm so pissed. I'm pissed beyond belief. I'm pissed in ways that I didn't realize I could be pissed. Not just over the estate tax thing, but over the whole mismanagement of the government thing. The whole 'let's restructure the government so that there will be plenty of money flowing to fund anti-terrorism measures so that our corporate campaign donors can drink up those funds so fast that their head freezes like when you suck in a Slurpee but then not actually do any work so that the country is demonstrably less safe than it was before we did any of this bullshit' thing.
Right wingers out there are saying.... Well, fuck. I'm not going to repeat it. I just can't summarize it without going insane. One wonders how they can call themselves human, some of the things they're saying.
But. I'm going to Houston and I'm going to get sore feet working in a soup line or something.

I heard some comments on CNN tonight that made blind anger swell up in me. They don't get it. They just don't get it. These are my neighbors, my friends, my relatives in NO. The callousness is apalling. TY for the read. Passing it along.
Good luck in Houston.
