After the flood
BART: Look at me, I’m a grad student! I’m 30 years old and I made $600 last year!
MARGE: Bart, don’t make fun of grad students! They just made a terrible life choice.
I hadn’t really seen any live coverage of New Orleans until I came home to Grinnell last night and stayed up late getting drunk with my mom and watching CNN. Unless you’re one of what is probably a disappointingly large number of people who find themsleves , it’s hard not to be really, really pissed off. Maybe Katrina needs a new name, like “Hurricane How Badly Can The Federal Government Possibly Fuck Up A Natural Distaster”, or “Hurricane America’s Race Relations Suddenly Thrown Into Sharp Relief” or “Hurricane Too Little, Too Late, Mr President (You Asshole)”. This is really all by way of saying that .

OMG! WTF! are you kidden me…you are sooooo on my list. not that you care, just saying it anyway!
I never said anything about black people, I said “uneducated, riotous, boisterous, ugly guttersnipes” you’re the one assuming these adjectives describe only black people, not once did I ever refer to any type of bleeping race, you little maggot, I am describing a class of people.
And I wouldn’t expect anything less of someone who is still sucking on a pacifier to think what that idiot Kayne West did yesterday was admirable…it was immature, egotistical, pathetic and all around vile to make such a disparaging unfounded bias/opinionate statement on a televised program such as that…I swear, you “fcuk the cause” poseuristic liberals!
