Kate Moss is a coke-whore!!!! That's the shock of the century! Not really. How do you think she stays so thin? That's how all rich party girls stay thin, 'cause it sure ain't from drinkin' and staying up till all hours of the night. Coke keeps them up, alert, and thin, so of friggin' course a top model dating a junkie is gonna do lines. Duh!! This is not news, she just got caught.
Okay, so yesterday's attemted Bush-bash got deleted (!) because of some formatting snafu...what an injustice. So I'm gonna wrap up the week with another attempt to slam the idiot, barely-trained monkey we've got in the White House. What's spurred this rant, you ask? Well, so many things about this president have made my blood boil over the past few years, but lately it's the whole Katrina hurricane disaster and the response by the government, both local and federal. The Washington Post ran a headline today entitled, "In Speech, a Bid to Repair Presidency". Interesting that it had to take this catastrophe to spur this reaction from the press. Why not mention that Bush's egregious errors to date (read: Iraq war, soaring federal trade deficit) have only been compounded by this final blow to the American people. Bush, in his campaign, expounded that he is a uniter not a divider. He must have a different idea of what uniting is than the commonly accepted English definition because his policies have done nothing but divided. Divide terrorists and evil-doers from "good, hard-working Americans", rich from poor, black from white (as if that needed any more division). It's about time that Bush's ratings actually catch-up with his actions and that the American people voice discontent with the mess he's making of our once stable and prosperous country.
Hurricane Katrina was a horrible catastrophe, and the after-effects (flooding, wide-scale loss of life) should not have happened. Those that suffered most disproportionately were poor, urban minorities that already have the most difficult existence here in America. Now what little they had has been destroyed and the federal government can offer them little hope for just compensation. It blows my mind that the response to images of people looting was, "this is unacceptable." What's unacceptable is not that people are looting stores to get food and water, but that that kind of abject poverty exists at that level in a major U.S. city. Unacceptable and criminally negligent on the part of the local, state, and federal government. That being said, what will hopefully come from this disaster is a greater awareness of what the sadly performing economy has been doing to poor people all over the country and not just New Orleans.
Living in DC helps underscore the realities of the existence of urban poor minorities; there are so many homeless people of working age here it blows the mind. There are definitely a good percentage of those who are mentally ill, but that is not the whole picture. The saddest part of it for me is that it's based on race...the people in power don't care about the poor minorities. Not only do they not care about the poor minorities but their policies work against them and make their situations worse over the long haul. Their housing never gets better, their jobs get outsourced, their kids receive a terrible education, and all within the shadows of the White House and the Congress. It's an awful injustice, one that saddens me everyday because of the apparent lack of concerns for large groups of people that could make a valuable contribution to society is the were armed with the skills and opportunities afforded their suburban, white cohorts.
Back the specifics of the Bush-bash. Bush finally took responsibility for something bad that happened under his watch!!!! Oh, but that was only after the initial finger-pointing that led to the FEMA chief's resignation...does this sound familiar to anyone? Namely George Tenet, CIA chief. Yeah, Tenet f-ed up the Iraq-war-weapons-of-mass-destruction debacle. Mhm, right. Even Colin Powell admitted it was a mistake, and he was the poor bastard that had to go in front of the U.N. and make a fool of himself with those satellite photos "proving" the Iraqis had the capabilities to cultivate nuclear weapons. N-U-C-L-E-A-R weapons, say it with me, nuclear; it's not nucular, you friggin' moron!!! I just don't trust that fool as far as I can throw him. I for one am glad to see the chink in the armor reveal and the press emboldened to call it out. Finally, the press got their balls outta the Bush administrations vice grip. But I'm tired of this bash already. On to more pressing matters.
I have not yet found a job and I'm losing my will to live. I may be one of those homeless people you see roaming the Mall soon...thanks a lot, Ireland's F-ing Four Courts; also affectionately known as the Irish prison by so many of the lifers that work there. I hope that place gets bombed, a literal Irish Car Bomb would be so fitting. Just kidding, of course. My new restaurant job is good, but I won't be able to make as much money there, so it's kind of bittersweet. Now I'm relying on temp assignments and the restaurant gig to make ends meet. No stress there! I guess it's just gonna be like this for a while and I should get used to it, which isn't a very comforting thought. Oh well, I can always turn to the drink to help smooth out the wrinkles. But wait, that's expensive. I guess I'll have to do it on the cheap...now if only I knew how to "do it on the cheap"...I guess you learn something new everyday!
I'll keep y'all posted.
Our little X-tina is getting married. The dirrrty girl is in fine form with this get-up for her bridal shower. I really like Christina but cannot relate to her at all. I mean, what's with the hair!! Let it be for a while and maybe it wouldn't fall out in clumps! I do have to say she looks much better, though, like she's lost some weight but not gone to crazy extremes like one Miss Richie. Oh well, I hope she's happy and stays married for more than one hot minute. But then I guess it wouldn't be Hollywood, now would it!
I hate this stupid whore!! She needs to give it up and stop wasting precious court time. I can't believe she's taken this appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, what a freaking joke. She's obviously got the worst attorney if she keeps losing her appeals...so wise up and get more competent representation. Oh wait, I said wise up in reference to Anna Nicole Smith...I think I might be over-estimating her abilities! What a waste of space.
