Deflecting

I've seen an endless stream of government officals on TV tell those who question them about having troops in Iraq and nothing in New Orleans deflect focus by telling them to stop politicizing the situation. And they always start out with "I can understand..." Holy fucking shit, every single person has said that. This is not a joke, watch the news for a few minutes and you will see every government official questioned on the pathetic repsonse to the hurricane have "I can understand...." in their reply. It should be a drinking game. Every time you hear "I can understand" have a drink. I would be wasted in 30 minutes. Nobody is buying it either. They usually get away with this type of fancy talk but even the media and their usually complicit asses seem a little peeved. I'll wait to see if this actually changes anything. Probably not. Citizens will still let the current administration get away with this garbage.

Wow Wal-Mart gave $17 million. That is probably half of the CEO's yearly bonus. Considering Wal-Mart has had days in which sales top more than a billion dollars I think a jar of my piss would be equal to their donation. Now where do I send it? I honestly hope no one is impressed with those corporate donations. Minimum Wal-Mart should give is $500 million and that will get me just to stop giving you the evil eye, still no respect.
