12. SWAMP RAT! Good to hear your voice!
How is the displaced refugee lifestyle treating you?

Not being sarcastic; are you and yours getting along OK?
Do you need anything? Anything at all?

21. Your city? Dead? BULLSHIT!
Nawlins has survived worse, and will survive worse in the future.

When the last primate is a fossil,
and the world is being run by large-brained cockroaches,
those roaches are gonna SWARM the French Quarter
every mating season.

As far as your dead friends, well, I have no words of comfort.

I graduated from a tiny rural HS, 100 in my class....
and 10 of us were dead less than a year later.

No hurricanes, no nothing...just random crap.
Logging accidents, car wrecks, crazy psycho boyfriends...
the first girl I ever "held hands" with just DIED in her sleep
a month after graduation; some undetected heart problem or something.
She was really cool, man....

No Preacher or Therapist ever managed
to make this stuff make any sense to me,
so I sure can't give any advice to you.

Sorry I am so clueless about the important things.
I barely manage to get my head around the concept
of "shit happens", and I just drag my sorry ass
across the decades hoping I'll stumble across
some sort of understanding sooner or later.

Works OK for me...but you aren't nearly
as messed up in the head as I am.

You can do better...and you will.

28. I hear that your town has got more Blackwater security mercs there than NO
residents....

New Orleans was more than fucking punked....you were raped and still are being raped by this administration and their cronies....gang raped....

Sorry, but that's the only image that comes to my mind when I think of what this administration did and still is doing to your city....They can blame it on Katrina, they can call Louisiana "dysfunctional" but the reality is this - they were the real disaster and more people died because of their failures, not because of Katrina...And now look what they are doing....

I heard today on the radio that FEMA cut a $230+ Million contract with Carnival Cruise Lines for "Victim/refugee housing", but meanwhile those ships and their cabins are sittin empty....hmmmm....:eyes:

The corruption is running rampant....people from the Gulf Coast are suffering and meanwhile the money allocated to FEMA is going straight to the pockets of the Bush Administration buddies....Uneffing believable... :grr:

16. Love it!
I'm glad you made it through, also. I've always enjoyed your posts. I'm so sorry about your friends and city. Such an inexcusable waste. It made me angrier than anything I can remember in years. Anyway, glad you're ok.

25. Swamp Rat hey!
Welcome back my friend. Stay safe! Let me share a photo with you. New Orleans was mentioned all over the place in D.C.'s protest march. We care and we will help bring your great city to life again.

27. Hey Swampie!
Welcome back! Good to know you're OK. I'm really sorry about your city and your friends. I can't imagine what these last few weeks have been like for you. Hey, we're here for you if you need anything.

Love the pic of Dubya with the guitar. Definite T-shirt material.
