News Strike

The whole hurricane thing is so upsetting that I am back on news strike. I will not watch ANY MORE FOOTAGE. I will NOT be part of the whole "lets profit off dead bodies floating in the streets" thing. I refuse to take part in this insanity.

I urge everyone else to do the same thing. There is reporting the news, and there is exploiting misery for fun and profit.

And a special message for CNN's very own Rick Sanchez. JUST FUCKING DIE ALREADY YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF HUMAN WASTE! I hope you get disentary and shit yourself to death, and then I hope Fox News films your dead body while Bill O'Reily makes comments about how terrible it is. And by the way Rick, that guy you RAN OVER when you were a reporter in Miami is still dead! Why dont you report on that? You know, as an update for the CNN viewers. You turd.

I can not post about this subject anymore. It is too stressful for me. It is almost like the federal government WANTS the people flooded out to die. It would be cheaper after all, dead people will not file for benefits or ask for relocation funds. It is terrible to think this way, but what else am I supposed to conclude given the evidence I have?

Rescue missions are going to become body recovery missions soon, if not already.

And why? Because FEMA, under the great leader we have now, changed its focus from things like hurricanes to shit far less likely to happen, like a dirty bomb. It is now out that FEMA drills for things just like what happened were either scrapped entirely OR had to scale back the budgets to the point where the excersises were useless.

And now people are paying the price. Last year, Florida was hit with 5 named storms. FIVE. And did the government, under Bush, learn anything? Did they decide to take the threat of what they knew could happen seriously? Did they at least devlop a rough draft for a plan? How about we get Tom Ridge back to create a new color coded alert system? That would at least be something.

But nothing was done. No plans were made. And I want to know why. I know the excuse will be a big pile of bullshit, but I want to hear it anyway. Humor me. Who will they blame it on? Al Gore? Clinton? Terrorists? Saddam Hussien? South American Drug Cartels? Castro? Yellow Cake Uranium in Niger? Or will it be the fault of the "liberal media who only wants to show the bad things for political reasons"? Come on Mr. President, tell us that positive things are being accomplished on the Gulf Coast, but the media will not report it. Then tell us the same lie about the Middle East. It is all good.

See, I have done it again. My blood pressure is back up again.

Tomorrow I will TRY to post about something else.
