In which I hold a brief and pointed political conversation with the ragged hole in the left knee of my Quicksilver blue jeans, (conclusion)

Me: “So let me guess:  the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina?  The result of the Bushies taking monies earmarked for New Orleans natural disaster preparedness and squandering it on a newly-minted Iraqi theocracy, am I right?”

Hole:

Me: “Fucking hole.”

Hole: “Dude, are you ever gonna change your pants?”

****

kind of related, if you’re willing to read my post a certain way, then strain an analogy.  At any rate, a nice idea.

    “Talking to yourself?” Shoot, I thought your were talking with Gandhi.

    I wonder what that towering and compassionate intellect *would* say?

    Cordially…

  5. Murel Bailey says:

    Jeff’s got the funk.

    And Gandhi would tell all of us crypto-Zionists to get offa his lawn before he unleashes two barrels of peace, love, understanding, and rock salt in our collective ass.

  6. TODD says:

    Did Ghandi wear pants, just wondering…..

  7. AWG says:

    Jeff, when are you going to quit ATTACKING the hole in your pants and ADDRESS ITS POINTS???

  8. B Moe says:

    I sewed red velvet hearts over the holes in my jeans like somebody suggested and now I don’t have anywhere to stick my feet out.

  9. Some of the responses I’ve seen to Katrina have been astonishing in their stupidity. The Democratic National Committee has evidently criticized Secretary of State Rice for going shopping when people in New Orleans are suffering.

    First of all, the Secretary of State is one of the few cabinet officials in the Administration with absolutely no responsibility for hurricane disaster relief in any form, and literally no resources to allocate to the effort.

    But more importantly, it is long long long past time for the Democrats to grow up. The adults in this country are working on serious problems like the Iraq War and the near destruction of a major city. The children should buckle up in the back seat and shut up.

  10. B Moe says:

    The problem was she was shopping for shoes instead of a hair shirt.

  11. Murel Bailey says:

    After 9/11, the first thing I did was go out and spend money. Not because I felt like it, but because I knew there would be a huge hit on the economy. It was about all I could do on a one-person scale at the time to slow the collapse of things.
