Repeatedly, those same words have fallen from the lips of the televised refugees of Hurricane Katrina. WTF??? So thousands of these optimists stayed in an underground city….while every news network, reliable and otherwise, forecasted the absolute worst scenario. Only the worst case scenario didn’t happen precisely the way ’twas expected. Then all of a sudden – lo and behold – the water from the resulting floods upstream….flowed downstream. And it’s a big fucking surprise.

All night, I have watched Fox News, whose anchors keep stressing the fact that in just a few short hours, the entire city will be submerged in at least nine more feet of water. Citizens have walked for miles to enter the so-called Superdome, only to stand in line for upwards of twelve hours, and that line certainly isn’t getting any shorter. One can only imagine what the conditions are like inside – no lights, no air conditioning, no running water or plumbing of any sort – and no way to leave. Five people have died since they have entered the structure, one apparently during a despairingly suicidal leap from the rafters.

Why the hell isn’t every fucking helicopter within a thousand miles flying those people the hell out of the city of New Orleans? Line them up on the balcony of the Supercome and fly them the hell out of dodge. Don’t fly them from their home rooftops to that giant fucking coffin. Navy vessels for fuck’s sake…what else does the navy do anyway, and those billions of dollars of military funding couldn’t be put to better use than to save American lives. Sheesh…these people are about to drown on live television. It’s The Day Of The Locust, only it’s not in Los Angeles like we expected.
