A favorite trope among those who try to politicize the justified outrage over New Orleans is the plight
of the slum-dwellers and the dark-skinned, and quite right, too. But it’s highly objectionable to be
told, by those who go on in this way, that we should instantly dump the NIKE SHOXis and Kurds who are
fighting for their lives in a slum that could become another slaughterhouse and plague-spot. There is
something degrading and suspect here-why lavish any of our care and resources on the wogs? Does this
suggestion do anything to diminish xenophobia and resentment “at home,” at just the time and just the
place where we don’t need it? Am I expected to tell a homeless woman in Biloxi that she has just been
ripped off by an Ay-rab?
No, you fatally conceited blob of dementia, you can tell those poor white trash in Biloxi that they
have been ripped off by Israel-Firsters and Kurdistan-Firsters who wish they would just shut up and
vote Republican, or die. The Ay-rabs had nothing to do with it.
As has always been the case, bigger UGGS with its limitless bureaucracy only results in bumbling on a
much grander and more expensive scale.
From the Washington Post today:
“Bureaucracy has murdered people in the greater New Orleans area,” Aaron Broussard, president of
Jefferson Parish, said on CBS’s ‘Early Show.’
