devastation and disbelief

New Orleans. My birth home. My heritage. My Lord. I know that it is going to sound cliche, but I never thought that this would really happen. I just posted on my cousin's blog over at Politickal Animal that I have always blown off my mother's accounts of Hurricanes Betsy & Camille as being exaggerations seen through the eyes of a teenager. I know now that they were not.

The neighborhood that I spent most of my childhood in is now destroyed. My grandparent's home where I shared so many wonderful memories and experiences may be no more as well. Luckily all of my family was smart enough to leave and get to safety before the roads became impassible from gridlock.

This event has really disrupted my psyche. I don't even think that I was affected like this when 9/11 happened. I just stare slack jawed at the images that are coming out of New Orleans. There are parts of the city that may never be reclaimed from the swamp in my lifetime, parts of the city will never recover. Martial law has been declaired, the I-10 twin spans are down. Wow. I never though that this would really happen.

I plan on volunteering with the red cross or whoever in the coming weeks. I'll never forgive myself if I don't. More to come...

Mighty Morphin' Prison Biatches

Now, we all remember that terrific overdubbed first season of Power Rangers. Seems like this guy either says he was (or not really) on of the original American cast of jumping bean characters. We know he's not the pink ranger, but he's going to be feeling like it in the pokey.

26-year-old Skylar Deleon, and his merry band of thugs tied a wealthy Los Angeles couple to their own yacht's anchor and dropped it into the murky depths of the pacific. Oh, yeah, they got them to sign over power of attorny too... WTF? This was really a planned out murder and I hope that the new "pink ranger" has a cell next to Scott Peterson so they can both "boo hoo" as Bubba shows them some lovin' from the oven.
