... From Vacation
Hello Blog Readers and greetings from "Need to Burn a Few PTO Days" Land.
I don't have the best internets connection right now....I'm getting my own installed on Friday, so I'll say hello and hows your father now, and then I'll see you again on Friday.
Also, if you are able, please watch the first 10 minutes of the Daily Show from last night.
I don't think there is a better mirror for the Katrina disaster (Rape, murder, flat soda) than this statement from one of the residents of the stadium presently housing Wildfire victims:
"There is such an outpouring of support. We have (laughs) too MUCH food!"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAA!
Yeah.
It's so nice to see white people helping other white people.
And being really fucking glaring about it as well.
Celebrities, ok, see, just "appearing on television" to plead with other people to help crisis victims isn't eno

Right on.
Though I wonder how things would've turned out if the fires had happened right before Katrina... Would the difference in response to the pair of disasters be this distinct?
I'm just wondering if "Katrina guilt" is responsible for some of this outpouring of generosity. I dunno, maybe race (and more importantly class) would still prove to be the big factor.
Then again, Katrina victims would still probably get the shaft, even if it happened post-wildfire. Then we'd just blame it on charity fatigue.
