Wacky Wednesday

it almost slipped my mind, it's not like it was big news today - more focus was on some actor guy named owen and his apparent deep depression - but it was the second anniversary of the disaster called katrina. president bush says there has been a lot of progress since then and so i don't understand why a whole lot of the people living in louisiana and mississippi (especially those pessimistic louisiana folk) are complaining that little has been done. granted some claim they are still homeless, but there is a bridge that has been repaired that will cut your ride by about 45 minutes so you can get back to your not a home in no time. now, isn't that progress?

i think the gloomy media, who make money off of my sadness it seems, is just trying really hard. somehow they seem able to find desolate landscapes and devastated people. how do they do that? i guess that's why they get paid the big bucks. because they really get me choked up everytime and apparently i am not the only one they have thinking that there might be something wrong with the fact that very little seems to have gone on since the water evaporated - except a bunch of mould growing in what is basically rubble. but look at me, i am getting sucked into it all, those reporters and their powerful imagery. i won't be sucked in. if the leaders of this nation see no reason to be ashamed of all of that. if they can ignore it and we here can still be a super power and the greatest nation in the world, heck, i need to switch to the us open and get a grip.
