Dinner conversation
Was talking about the events in NOLA with my in-laws over dinner after my mother-in-law’s surprise birthday party.
My brother-in-law talked about Michael Savage’s ‘idea’ of moving the refugees to the military bases on the closure list. Savage. that’s a voice of reason for the masses.
My father-in-law talked about people still in NOLA just want a handout. He also said that he would have shot to kill rioters during the LA riots to put a stop to them.
My sister-in-law said the reason people stayed was so that they could get their welfare checks on Wed.
My mother-in-law praised the folks who self dispatched themselves saying they fed people. Maybe in the other parishes but not Orleans.
All questioned the idea of rebuilding NOLA. I snapped at this point asking if we should have rebuilt Northridge or LA after an earthquake…
Needless to say all of them are Christian, Republicans & Bush backers.
When my brother-in-law joked that he wished Katrina had taken out the Clinton Library, I responded by saying I then have to wish for an earthquake to swallow the Reagan library.
I put John to sleep and watched college football with my brother-in-law until bed. Now, I’m going to head to bed or maybe watch Riding Giants.
