Where's Today's Dorothea Lange? [Dan Collins]

Who will chronicle the misery of Pennsylvania’s Rust Bowl?

He is trampling out the vintage
Where the sour grapes are stored.

Despite market woes, the Ultra-Rich spend money.  I blame Bush.  I want my Nebuchadnezzar, dammit.

    I’ve seen that look in her eyes a thousand times. “I’m broke, I’m busted. Should I get the .357 or splurge on the .50 cal? Maybe I’ll ask Pastor Hawkins.”

  2. I’m seeing Theresa Heinz-Kerry, from Pittsburgh.

    Love the caption. That made me laugh hard.

  4. ccs says:

    At least she has a bowl, here in the armpit of Ohio all we have is a rust belt.

    Jeffersonian – I am with you… is that a gun or a Bible she’s holding? Oh, neither. Looks to be a white kid.

    My grandparents (mother’s side) came to Ohio from cental PA in 1927. Thay had 6 children at the time (would eventually become 8.) My grandfather’s coal mine had topped off on one direction, and the other direction was below the Catholic cemetery, and the church wouldn’t give the rights to go there. He heard about work opportunities and picked up the family and whatever they had and moved. This move was followed shortly by the Great Depression, and there wasn’t work to be found anywhere. But, eventually, everyone survived, Mom met Dad, etc.

    I brought this up since PA nd OH were both mentioned, and to point out out that people used to pull up stakes and move to find work, not sit and wait for it to come to them. It wasn’t easy for most, but before the network of social safety nets was in place, it was necessary in order to suvive, let alone thrive.

    Same tune:

    “John Brown’s body lies a-mouldering in the grave”

    Anybody remember Mr. Brown? Abolitionist, quite willing to kill anybody who got in his way? The raid on the Harper’s Ferry armory?

    We hung his traitorous ass.

    Class Warfare-ISTs!!!!

    John Brown was a terrorist before we had a name for it. His cause (abolishing slavery) was good; his means, not so much.

  11. Looks like the kid on the left’s reloading.

    Ridden hard and hung out to dry, but hey, that babe still looks damn ___able in a strange sort’a ridden hard and hung out to dry way.

    Perhaps, but rust goes with everything.

  14. datadave says:

    damn, thor. I agree. She didn’t look so bad as she’s obviously eating non-processed foods and has good muscle tone.

    Now, I can find you some modern gals that really make you all cry. Due to their typical diet of meth., mountain dew, and little debbies. Eeeeeehhhhhhhhkkkk!

    DD, most Sunday mornings I meet a friend for brunchfest at the Whole Foods in Boca. Outside of the occasional healthy Milf with puppies in tow, every woman/chick over 45 has that fresh surgically stretched and chemically peeled face sitting atop a Sudan famine diet-looking skeletal frame, with the exception of their disgusting green veined biceps and forearms. And every one of ’em wears stupid pastel colored low-hip hanging warm-up bottoms and a poly blend tit-hugging tank tops. I hate their frozen in place fake tits the most. Nothing jiggles on those uppity cardboard bitches. Makes a man dream of an island filled with big-boned hippie chicks that do nothing but smile and say “OK”.

  16. Dan Collins says:

    thor, I think it’s awful valiant of you to offer to moisturize her like that. You’re a good man.

  17. thor says:

    A bath and a couple of squirts of moisture cream to the face and she’ll dress up real nice.

    She’s a handsome woman.
