I'm an English expat constantly struggling to be understood in a different country. I work in the cut throat world trying to bring "YARRR" and "Ne'er-Do-Well" into regular conversation My swear word of choice is Stink Nugget. I'm a yarn snob.

Sickening

"The river rose all day,
The river rose all night.
Some people got lost in the flood,
Some people got away all right.
The river have busted through clear down to Plaquemine:
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline.

"Louisiana, Louisiana,
They're trying to wash us away,
They're trying to wash us away…."
-- Randy Newman, Louisiana 1927

That 20 year old guy that commandered a school bus from New Orleans to drive to the Astrodome, and picked up people on the way? They were refused entry when they got there.

Air boat owners from Florida trying to help rescue survivors? They aren't allowed to.

The more I delve, the sicker I feel. I don't have a car, so if I was in a similar situation, I would be one of those left behind.

The government didn't care about he poor before this, and it looks like their opinion has not changed. Genocide through negligence

Oh yeah, and then there is this

I just made my appointment to go give blood tomorrow morning. I hope it ends up there.

Good for you!

I'm not allowed to give blood - since a) I normally have low iron levels and b) i'm english and we all have mad cow disease.
