Ya ya ya... I know. Go ahead and roll your eyes. YES! I'm watching Oprah while on the computer!

The topic today is Hurricane Katrina: The Stories They Don't Tell.

I am so appauled by this country I live in. Six months after the hurricaine hundreds of families are still living in "tent" cities while FEMA trailers sit empty on a closed lot. Destroyed homes and commerical buildings sit half torn down amongst trash and debris as if the hurricaine happened just yesterday.

In the meantime, while children have to piss in a portopotty and sleep in a tent, our wonderful and thoughtful government officials sit in a comfy fucking office discussing who was at fault for not acting sooner or not acting at all. Blaming the head of FEMA. Well he's gone now and guess what...

There is still no action!

What the hell is happening to our country? In the U.S. of A. families are living as refugees. Families are hunting for their dead family members without the help of the organization who is supposed to protect us. Bush says he is protecting the American people from terrorism, but who is going to protect the American people from Bush?

I think that it's time to get the military out of Iraq and bring them back here where our tax dollars can go to repairing this fractured country and instead of having our military men and women killing other people and being killed, they can come back here and help rebuild the homes and lives of the people they are supposed to be protecting.

I am seeing a scary pattern with this country. The tsunami hits and we hear about it for a week. Then nothing. The hurricaine hits the gulf of mexico and we hear about it for a week. MAAAAAYbe a month. Six months later, the gulf still looks like it did on the day the hurricaine hit and what are we doing about it. Why do I feel so helpless in this country?

The bully puppet named Bush needs to go spend a month or more in one of those tent cities just like a sentence of a convicted slum lord. Welcome to America!
