Our Government Sucks

Once in awhile, something comes along that is so horrifying, so disgusting, and so unnerving, that I cant even really be funny about it. Nor, would I want to disrespect those who have to live through it by even trying. This is one of those times. I will just give you an example of what kind of thing I am referring to. I'll provide a picture from the website DailyKos.com just in case you are too lazy to click.


This is the 9th Ward 8 months after Katrina. I am pretty sure that the third world impoverished countries that had to deal with the Tsunami looked better than this 8 months after that tragedy.

I would truly, truly love to have some brainless republican explain to me how exactly something like this is ok. I would love to hear the logic that they would use to justify the tax cuts for the wealthy, the wire tapping of law abiding Americans, the destruction of a country, and the hundreds of thousands that are dead-American and otherwise.

Because the ENTIRE time this administration has been busy fucking up the rest of the world and taking away our civil liberties since Katrina (8 MONTHS), they have also been busy ignoring the New Orleans. Busy ignoring AMERICANS, the very people whose "safety" they have used to justify the "War on Terror".

So, everyone who thinks that we can clean up Iraq and get a working, democratic government in place, please, take a look at these pics and realize that we can't even clean up after a fucking NATURAL DISASTER in our own damn country.
