I offer no caveat, no apologies for my title. Frankly, I'm PO'ed.
After reading this story, I'm quaking with rage:
New Orleans unveils Katrina recovery plan.
Oh, do tell!
18 months after the bloody hurricane, you're just now getting off your a$$?!
You're tired of waiting for federal aid? WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!
The feds are trying to get
$300 million back from the
crooks, er, victims in and around New Orleans.
Up to $1,000,000,000 in fraud may have been generated due to Katrina. Something like $600 million dollars is
still waiting to be claimed! $3 BILLION dollars in federal aid was allocated for Katrina relief; but your tired of waiting on the feds?
I wish you'd have got tired of waiting a year ago! I wish you'd have developed a plan back then you lazy, ungrateful, corrupt, nanny-state buttheads! We could have all been spared over a year of your whining!
Mr. Nagin, you had your chance to lead and be a force for good, but you ran away, abandoned your responsibilities and received a pass by the MSM when you blamed everyone but yourself for your problems! You have used every politically despicable tactic since the hurricane to play on the fears of your constituents and pander to those who enable the "give-me, give-me" attitudes of your supporters.
You've supported wacko conspiracy theories. You've played the race card. You were sure to place your family out of danger while leaving thousands stranded.
And to the people of New Orleans - you're just as bad! You re-elected this abject failure so you deserve every corrupt policy he enacts. You also share the responsibility for your plight! What have you done to better your own position or your communities? I've seen a lot of people with their hands out, but very few pulling themselves up.
The feds may indeed have made some mistakes, but using that excuse now - well, that dog don't hunt any more!
As far as I'm concerned, the people who didn't go back to New Orleans are the smart ones. I've seen them here in San Antonio. They've moved on and made something of themselves. They got a hand up and were grateful.
Again, I don't apologize for anything I've said. I know there are good people in New Orleans; I know there are people trying. But you are far outnumbered by those who haven't done a blasted thing. My words aren't directed towards those who I just described, but Nagin
is speaking for you. He's continually lumped you in with the n'er do wells. Which bothers you more?
And that my friends is why New Orleans sucks!
