Angry haikus after too much tv news.

1.
Babies and old folks
should not die on the streets, wait-
ing for us to help.

2.
Fingerpointing--Yep.
Some "Homeland" "Security."
Money spent, but well?

3.
Poverty makes skip-
ping town for the weekend tough,
no matter when/why.

4.
This body count is
bigger than 9-11.
More will be lost. More.

5.
"Looting" is NOT when
you drive a bus to Houston,
rescuing others.

I don't know if you've heard this, Seventeen, but if you haven't you really need to. It's the full uncensored WWL-AM interview with the New Orleans mayor.

Miss Seventeen Syllables, We meet again. Perhaps you remember me, USMC Sempre Fi, from the flag debate. I was just screwing around on the internet and happened upon your blog. I hope you are well and still flying the flags of discontent (as I see you are). Although we may dissagree on many things I am glad we can respect one another's opinions. As for me I rotate back to Iraq in October. However it is good to have run into you again and I will revisit your blog from time to time. But until then, take care, continue being nice to kitties and ponies.

USMC, Sempre Fi
God Bless
