House of Dioxin

Here's a link to a bit o' protest music or whatever you wanna call it (via la Boing). Expect to hear this on my show next Wednesday. It's got a nice upbeat Nawlins kinda bounce while it's calling out Bush & Co on how massively they've screwed up... well, everything. I mean, it's hard to imagine how they could've done worse other than going down there and drowning people with their bare hands.
On a related note, I hear someone in Louisiana told Dick Cheney to go fuck himself. Well, that's not very polite I suppose. But a not unreasonable response given what the citizens of the Gulf Coast have been thru. And it gets extra style points for referencing Cheney's encounter with Patrick Leahy.
To me it seems a pretty simple equation. If you think that Bush deserves credit for how things went down post-9/11 then he's in line for blame for how things have fallen apart post-Katrina.
But what the hell do I know? I must hate America. Or myself. So go ahead and feel sorry for me or whatever. At least I don't believe in a god who's a vengeful sociopath. Yes, in another step forward for rationality, some group of free thinkers announced that Katrina was god's wrath on the abortion clinics of NOLA. I guess all those people in Plaquemines, Biloxi, Gulfport, Mobile, etc are just collateral damage. Too bad for them that god turns out to be Eric Rudolph...

You can see, I think, why I've been avoiding writing much about this stuff. Reality is conforming way too much to a deeply rooted dark and cynical worldview that I usually try not to spend so much quality time with
