Barbara Bush

As Babs, aka Barbara Bush, whizzed by the Houston Astrodome in her private charter jet, uttered from twenty-five thousand feet something to the effect that the situation was working very well down there in the Dome because most of the evacuees were underprivileged anyway, they wouldn't know the difference. What a slap in the proverbial face for the poor refugees from her neighboring state. What an arrogant disgusting cunt, that lady is. Utterly repulsive.

It's just one more arrogant protuberance from the BFEE of what went wrong during the 2004 elections. Did the underprivileged actually not vote, did their votes get dumped as in 2000, I mean, it raises so many questions that I wonder if the "underprivileged" were suckered in by all this Christian gobble-de-gook. They might agree with their rich white folks on religion, but when push comes to shove, the Christian right don't give a fuck about poor people.

There were a couple of days I struggled with the question if it was "underpinned" people, including whites, or was it just blacks who were poor being the main reason for delay of The Cavalry. I came to the conclusion from Babs' statement that she has a strong distaste for anyone poor. And these conclusions led to further conclusions, concluding, nobody 'cept the poor and middle class gives a shit about the poor.

Oprah Winfrey, the richest woman on the planet, gave one million dollars to her brothers and sisters from the South. The Sandia Indians here in New Mexico who have been poor for centuries and who have the least blood ties to any of the affected gave 2 million dollars. The tribe is estimated at 300 million dollars. Do the math. The Sandia tribe proved to be much more charitable than that blow-hard Oprah.

Oprah, who always has made a fortune about telling her sisters, be them black or white, poor and rich alike, about her lifelong struggle and how it made her what she is today. What is that, Oprah? A money-loving chick who can't cough up more than a million bucks? That is giving the equivalent of .0000003 of her worth (I did the math). The Sandias gave .005 as a whole tribe. That's a very generous sum of money going from the poor to the poor. That is a huge disparity in charitable giving, with Oprah being below sea-level on the totem pole of giving .

Although I have given as much as I can, because I love that city and its people, as well as I thought it was my duty to give something, it's hard to decide which charity to support. I gave to the Red Cross simply due to the ease of it. However, I know there are fatcats on the payroll of the Red Cross as well as the Salvation Army. I wish I could give to an organization where I knew they were going to buy a thousand cases of iced cold beer, bar-b-cue pork by the truckloads, potato salad, corn salad, salad salad, chips, live bands with Little Feat and Dr. John headlining, now that's something I think some of the refugees need, one big-assed blow out of a party.

Everyone has been warned about the phishing scams on the net, but to tell you the truth, I haven't gotten more than a couple. They're so easy to spot and you'd have to be a dumbass to give these guys your credit card number for a relief fund. To give anyone your credit card number on the net, you'd better be sure who you're dealing with.

To get to the meat of the matter, if one has the capacity to actually go do work in the affected areas, that is by far the best. Pooring billions upon billions certainly helps in the immediate need, but we all know one can get lackadaisical about money which can disappear, get misappropriated, and eventually hinder the industry that is needed to start the rebuilding of the city.

The word hope is starting to rear its beautiful tone. Hope has already quickened what seemed insurmountable 12 days ago. I think that word carrys an energy that diffuses amongst the affected. It seems to be a contagious word, as well. It is giving life to the brethren that are still finding bodies in houses and floating in the waters. Some say hope is delusional. I would refer them to 9/11 and how quickly we recovered from that catastrophe.

Maybe I wouldn't be so optimistic if it were Beverly Hills or the other 'hoods that the media have been saying would have been helped quicker. I believe some of that is true, that help would have gotten there sooner,yet I also have spent alot of time in the city of New Orleans, got to know many locals, and there is a spririt among those people that the jaded rich phonies in Beverly Hills will never know. Can you imagine Mardi Gras down Rodeo Drive? Someone might get their Gucci shoes stepped on or their foofy hair do mussed.

I must throw in Bunnypant's remark about how good of job Mike Brown, or "Brownie" as he referred to his pal who had nothing doing being in the head position of FEMA, was doing during one of his first photo-ops. "Brownie" is gone. "Brownie" went bye-bye. So much for BFEE friendship. And what the fuck was the Secretary of Defense doing Photo-opping around town? Hey Rumsfeld, you still have a big fuckin' mess in Bagdad, why don't you go photo-op with some bodybags coming in daily, you prick? This administration is FUCKING BANANAS!!!!! God Bless the Big Easy, and I pray I get to play on Bourbon Street within two years, if not sooner.

Last Night

Still on the cool side.

There was some sort of police action in our little neighborhood. The intersection of 27th & Eucalyptus was blocked with about half a dozen police cars & the cop copter circled overhead for easily 90-minutes.

Which in turn gave the cats a serious case of the vapors, resulting in their stampeding into the house and followed by fighting over who gets the prime space under the beds. Ack.

Shuffle Schedules For Tonight's Spinfest

TV Networks

Broadcast networks shuffled their Thursday night schedules to accommodate resident Bush's prime-time address to the nation on Hurricane Katrina.

ABC will make the speech a centerpiece to an evening of Katrina-related programming. The 9 p.m. EDT speech will be preceded by a Ted Koppel-narrated report, "Moment of Crisis: System Failure," that will recreate the five days after Katrina struck.

Following the speech, ABC's "Primetime" will examine the nation's preparedness for other disasters. On the West Coast, the two news specials will run back-to-back at 9 p.m. PDT, preceded by "America's Funniest Home Videos."

CBS had been planning to repeat the two-hour, Quentin Tarantino-produced season finale of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" on Thursday. Instead, that will be postponed until next Wednesday, with two other "CSI" reruns following the president's speech.

The season premiere of "CSI: NY" will be postponed one week, to Sept. 28.

On Fox, the president's speech will force the network to delay for one week the second episode of the new series "Reunion."

Woman With An Opinion

Shirley MacLaine

Actress Shirley MacLaine denounced US leaders while promoting her latest film, calling it an antidote for the angst and confusion felt by some of her compatriots.

"In a country where we're all having trouble and struggling with what is the truth and who we are and why everybody is lying to us, I liked the idea of making a really honest picture," the Academy Award-winning actress said at the Toronto International Film Festival.

"In Her Shoes" by director Curtis Hanson ("8 Mile" and "L.A. Confidential") stars Cameron Diaz ("There's Something About Mary" and "Charlie's Angels") and Toni Collette ("Muriel's Wedding" and "The Sixth Sense") as two sisters with only their size eight-and-a-half feet in common, both searching for a sense of identity and a family connection.

"(At a certain age) if you don't know who you are, there is a serious problem, as we can see by some of our leaders," said MacLaine.

Seattle Home Saved From Demolition

Jimi Hendrix

The one-time boyhood home of legendary rock guitarist Jimi Hendrix has been spared demolition and moved to a new location, the head of the James Marshall Hendrix Foundation said on Tuesday.

The sagging two-bedroom house in one of Seattle's traditionally African-American neighborhoods was the only home ever owned by the Hendrix family during Jimi's childhood.

The one-story structure, covered in graffiti, was moved this week to a mobile home park in Renton, a city just south of Seattle, and across the street from the cemetery where Hendrix is buried.

Faces Off With Bill Gates

Napoleon Dynamite

Seeking to capitalize on the popularity of the 2004 cult movie "Napoleon Dynamite," Microsoft Corp. on Tuesday screened a video spoof for software developers in which the film's celebrated anti-hero reports to work as a programer for the world's largest software maker.

In a face-off between the two nerd icons, Jon Heder, the actor who plays Napoleon Dynamite, beats Gates in a slapping match to become the head of the software giant.

Gates is shown recruiting Heder's fictional character, after which they are seen together in ill-fitting brown suits on Microsoft's campus in Redmond, Washington.

In the last scene of the video spoof, Gates is seen scurrying into the office of his boss, Napoleon Dynamite.

Religious Insanity Revisited

Exorcists Convention

At the end of his weekly general audience on Wednesday Pope Benedict greeted Italian exorcists who, he disclosed, are currently having their national convention, presumably in Rome.

The Pope encouraged them to "carry on their important work in the service of the Church."

Problem was, that until the Pope spoke, few people outside the inner circle knew that a convention of Beelzebub busters was going on, presumably in Rome.

In 1999, the Vatican issued its first updated ritual for exorcism since 1614 and warned that the devil is still at work.

A Vatican university announced last Thursday that for the second year running it will hold a course on exorcism and Satanism for Roman Catholic priests.

Judge Blocks Forest Logging

Giant Sequoia National Monument

A federal judge halted the Bush administration's bid to keep logging 2,000 acres in Giant Sequoia National Monument, saying he questioned the science used to justify cutting in a preserve that houses two-thirds of the world's largest trees.

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, ruling in a lawsuit brought by environmentalists, also questioned whether fire control was the government's real motive for allowing commercial logging in the monument.

The so-called "Saddle Project" was approved years ago, but cutting began only this summer, when timber prices were high.

In Memory

Robert Wise

Robert Wise, who won four Oscars as producer and director of the classic 1960s musicals "West Side Story" and "The Sound of Music," has died. He was 91.

Wise was nominated for seven Oscars, including the four he won, during a career that spanned more than 50 years. The other nominations were for editing the 1941 Orson Welles classic "Citizen Kane," directing 1958's "I Want to Live!" and producing 1966's "The Sand Pebbles," which was nominated for best picture.

Wise directed 39 films in all, ranging from science fiction ("The Day the Earth Stood Still") to drama ("I Want to Live!") to war stories ("Run Silent Run Deep") to Westerns ("Tribute to a Bad Man").

He credited Orson Welles, for whom he edited "The Magnificent Ambersons" and "Citizen Kane," as a major influence, adding that the actor-director-writer was "as close to a genius as anyone I have ever met."

Wise moved up from film editor to director almost by accident when he was assigned to finish "The Curse of the Cat People" after the original director fell too far behind schedule on that 1944 film.

Pleased with his work, horror film producer Val Lewton assigned Wise to direct "The Body Snatcher" the following year.

Other films Wise directed include "The Set-Up" in 1949; "Destination Gobi" in 1952; "Executive Suite" in 1954; "Two for the Seesaw" in 1962; "The Haunting" in 1963; "The Andromeda Strain" in 1971; and "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" in 1979.

He worked his way up to film editor or co-editor on such movies as "The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle," "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and "The Devil and Daniel Webster."
