This is where your Relief $ is being spen

I have looked all over for this story on a site, but so far the only place I find it is on CNN Headline news. Here in Florida the last 8 minutes or so of the 30 minute cycle are “Local News” and one of the stories they had was a Katrina Shelter for the refugees from AL, MS and LA outside Orlando in Groveland, FL.

They had it set up for 300 people, beds, showers, clothes, and massive amounts of catered food, and had a huge turnout of volunteers to help out.

Not one person that needed it was there.

The director was LAUGHING how well the volunteers where going to eat, and they showed the food and I must say I am impressed on the high quality of food. They also showed the new beds, new blankets and clothes and everything else and not one person showed up.

And it goes into part of my other issue I have with people in “power” like Bush and this woman in Groveland FL laughing and smirking when 1000’s are dead and 100,000 or more are homeless.

USE YOUR F***** HEAD, no one wants to see some person of “authority” smirk or listen to them chuckling when we are in a national disaster. At least fake that you care when you are on the camera.

Rice is said to have been shopping in NY buying shoes, when a woman approached her asking how she can be on vacation and shopping when a Cat 4 just destroyed NO she had the woman physically removed by security.

Yeah, we are such a great nation, I can’t tell you how proud I was watching George flying over the destruction in Air Force One on his way to a Fundraiser for the GOP in SD and then some golf. He must have had a great view in those 747 windows flying at 300MPH.

CNN had the FEMA director on tv asking him, why does CNN have better information then FEMA and why the tsunami victims had food drops 2 days after and it’s day 5 and still no food drop? All this FEMA guy could say is “we are going to”

FEMA needs to be disbanded… they simply have no clue.

The mayor of New Orleans is far more professional then I would be, I would have called Bush out with much more words bleeped out.

This is a sick sick sick mess, and I don’t know what is worse, the Cat 4 or the “help”.

Long Time……..

I’m sorry for not posting as much. We had a small emergency at work, so I’ve ended up working 6 days this week. I spent my half day off working on work schedules, cleaning and doing my FFL draft……where ESPN servers suck. =( You would think with as much $$ they make that they would have something that wouldn’t crash with heavy use.

I did get Wednesday off, but we spent most of our day with friends. Which is something we really needed to do. So any thing I planned on doing didn’t happen……….lol

I have to be at work by 0630hrs so I’m heading to bed.

But I would like to state that I know everyone has seen the news & the destruction of Katrina……of course, our government which has been warned about something like happening, has been slow to respond & 1000s are feared dead and there are bodies on the streets. Please do your part and donate……whether through your church, Red Cross, Salvation Army……or private organizations……just donate.

Harold’s Week

**Written 27th Aug

Just under 2 hours before I do another draft for FFL, actually 3 drafts. 715PM is my second draft of the 3 I am running, and I might have to draft for a friend who is still grieving over the death of his stepson.

Then not paying attention to the date I joined a public league that drafts at 930PM. No biggie, worse case I miss the last round or two of the first draft, I am not missing the first few rounds of a draft, which would be stupid.

This week has flown by pretty fast which is fine with me I am still in shock over my friend’s stepsons’ death. His funeral was today and I regret not being there for it but with our issues with the truck taking much more then expected to fix…. Well, timing is never good.

Hurricane Katrina

It luckily missed us, but it looks like New Orleans is about to get hit. Thankfully, Uncle Don & Aunt Phyliss are located in NW LA. I’m just hoping that New Orleans don’t lose as many lives as they think they might. 🙁
