All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

What I was saying a few days ago about what Oprah should do? Well, she's done it.
She hugged evacuees -- as Bush did as well on his visits to the region -- but then she stayed. She listened to the stories of horror and rape and loss and heartbreak.
After grieving and listening, she began her giving. And Oprah knows a thing or two about giving...
She covered a lot of ground, and people wept when they saw her.
Not because they were expecting a free car, but -- who can blame anyone for thinking this -- because when Oprah visits, free stuff can't be far behind.
Never has Oprah's penchant for giving things away been put to better use.
And she's Oprah, so please, don't tell her that getting mad about what happened post-Katrina is part of some "blame game." This is the woman who taught Dr. Phil everything he knows, so when Oprah gets mad and tells people what's on her mind, everyone had better listen.
"When it comes to what happened, and didn't have to happen, to children, it's pretty overwhelming," Oprah said, fighting back tears on Tuesday. "It makes me so mad. This makes me mad! This should not have happened."
Oprah's biggest gift may just be telling those in power what many of us in her viewing audience were already thinking.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Now I have REM's Bang and Blame in my head.
Although in this case, maybe it should be called Blow and Blame.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
If not, bugmenot surely does.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG OMG OMG. New most un-favorite task at work. My boss just handed me an envelope full of cab receipts. I have to go through, guess what he would have tipped them, go through his calendar to see what they might have been for, and then fill out the reimbursement form.

The article linked above (I'll link it again for reference)
Is craziness. NO was (is?) a really fucked up place post-Katrina. I can't believe sheriffs were pointing guns in people's faces like that. Damn.
