And this is what I was predicting would happen:
Kanye West Rips Bush During NBC ConcertGeez....there's a time for ranting about how something could have or should have been done this way or that, this this *cough* musician shows what most of us already know: there's no such thing as 'critical thinking' or 'class' anywhere near Hollywood.NEW YORK (AP) - It began, fittingly enough, with jazz from New Orleans natives Harry Connick Jr. and Wynton Marsalis. But "A Concert for Hurricane Relief," a heartfelt and dignified benefit aired on NBC and other networks Friday night, took an unexpected turn thanks to the outspoken rapper Kanye West.
Appearing two-thirds through the program, he claimed "George Bush doesn't care about black people" and said America is set up "to help the poor, the black people, the less well-off as slow as possible."
The show, simulcast from New York on NBC, MSNBC, CNBC and Pax, was aired live to the East Coast, enabling the Grammy-winning rapper's outburst to go out uncensored.
[...]
Comedian Mike Myers was paired with West for a 90-second segment that began with Myers speaking of Katrina's devastation. Then, to Myers' evident surprise, West began a rant by saying, "I hate the way they portray us in the media. If you see a black family, it says they're looting. See a white family, it says they're looking for food."
While allowing that "the Red Cross is doing everything they can," West - who delivered an emotional outburst at the American Music Awards after he was snubbed for an award - declared that government authorities are intentionally dragging their feet on aid to the Gulf Coast. Without getting specific, he added, "They've given them permission to go down and shoot us."
After he stated, "George Bush doesn't care about black people," the camera cut away to comedian Chris Tucker.
TROLL UPDATE: Apparently, I am the target of another troll:
Apparently there is no such thing as class here either since you seem to be doing an awful lot of pissing and moaning about people that are not praising Bush or thinking along the same lines as you do in this whole crisis.I'd ask this *cough* person to point out where I am 'doing an awful lot of pissing and moaning about people that are not praising Bush', but like a good troll, they're too afraid to put an e-mail link to contact them at.You are a fucking piece of shit Mike.

Typical.
Now as for the other part - thinking along the same lines as you do in this whole crisis. - well, they're right in this. However - that's the entire point of putting up a personal blog; it's where I get to blather on about how I see things in this world and how I would do things.
I haven't offered one bit of criticism as to how I would have handled the evacuation of New Orleans - not ONE-LITTLE-BIT.
I HAVE critiqued what people are saying about what has happened/not happened, but apparently this troll who's sitting in his mom's basement wearing Spiderman pajamas (ugh, I crossed the cliche line with that one!) this is the same thing.
Well Madam Troll, I'd like you to come back and discuss this with me here. Or are you just gonna do a 'hit-n-run' comment and scurry back to your roach motel?
Ah, I get it now - the location of this particular troll is Creedmoor, North Carolina (IP address 65.190.209.189) and unless he/she/it has spawned a brother or two, it's none other than everyone's favorite truckstop 'refreshment coordinator' Nunya aka NeoCunt. He probably trucked in from Maria's place where I managed to put in a comment about the New Orleans nightmare; guess he thought he'd 'show me'...huh?
I'm a little surprised that he/she/it didn't use some of those wonderful anonymous proxies from Poland or Germany which he feels makes him 'invisible'.
And seeing as how it's Nunya, I'd not expect him to come back since that would entail being made a fool of....again.

Of course Mr Kayne knows better. I am SURE he is helping in his own way. All I get to do is deploy to the area as part of a rescue team.
Maybe if Mr Kaynes took the opportunity to do a PLEDGE drive or some other useful thing instead of being an open sore on the asscrack of society, the problem could be helped.
But what fun is HELPING when you can spew your uninformed bullshit to a screaming crowd?
