I'm not surprised that this is turning into a racial issue!


Oh, I think it was anyway. I don't usually quote Jerry Springer, but he a good point when he said "If there were young, white women holed up in the Superdome, do you think they would be starving, thirsty and dying?"

Instead of crying about race why don't people ask why those who are stranded why they stayed?


Ok, let's play a little game. Imagine you are poor. Not just low on money and can't make it to the ATM today, but actually dirt poor. You have a shitty minimum-wage job with which you have a hard time making ends meet from day-to-day, and are not always sure you will be able to afford a place to stay or to eat tomorrow. You have no car because cars cost a lot of money, no extra money to pay for a hotel someplace, no out-of-town family to stay with. I know it's hard to do, but imagine it.

Ok, now they order you to evacuate. You have 50 bucks in your pocket. What are you going to do? How are you going to get out? Where are you going to stay? What the hell are you going to do? Let's hear your options.

Hey, I didn't say it was a fun game.
