Hate New Orleans? Read this!

Frankly, I'm tired of people dismissing New Orleans. Why do so many Americans--people who would rush to the aid of virtually any other area of their country in need of help--look down on New Orleanians as if they had it coming with Katrina? Why does George W. Bush all but ignore the ongoing efforts to rebuild the Big Easy? And why would Chicago Bears fans address such insensitive signs to Saints fans as, "Bears finishing what Katrina started?"

What makes New Orleans so different that fellow Americans have no qualms about ignoring pleas and/or mocking the plight of the ravaged city?

In his State of the Union Address on Jan. 23, George W. Bush made not one comment on the still-ongoing effort to rebuild New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. I noted this on my blog yesterday, receiving the following comment in response:

I know!

Lets use taxpayer dollars to rebuild a shithole that was built below sea level between a lake and a BIG FUCKING OCEAN, which all honest observation should be a FUCKING SWAMP except for the HUGE PUMPS that keep it dry.

That way, next time there is a hurricane, it can be destroyed again. This way, sit-t in New Orleans will always be new.

Wait, I have a better idea. MOVE THE FUCK OUT ASSHOLE!!!!
