It is amazing to me how warm and cozy a king-sized bed can feel sometimes while at other times it can be a large expanse of solitude. This morning was a large bed feeling. Before I was really awake, I stretched my legs seeking a little toe snuggle but ended up with my lonely left foot snuggling my lonely right foot. Not exactly what I had in mind.
I did some blog surfing this morning. It's all Katrina, no real surprise. There seem to be three distinct tones: those who share where and how to help, those who intensely criticize the lack of response by our federal government, and those who defend the government vehemently. One unifying thread that runs among them all is anger, just the target of the anger varies.
Fingers can be pointed in so many directions, but to what end? Part of me thinks, "STFU and let's work together to help these people! This should not about politics!"
But unfortunately it is about politics and will go down in history as such.
Government of the people, for the people, by the people---my ass!
Our country is horribly off track.

I think that in one way or another, everything seems to boil down to being about politics, whether it should be or not.
A bed, no matter what the size, without the one we love, is a very empty place. When Fran's been out of town on business trips, I can only sleep if I'm on her side.
Thanks for the post, I have been unable to even talk about it without foam forming in the corners of my mouth and my blood pressure going through the roof.
Well eb, my STFU reaction comes from people standing around calling for action instead of taking action. It's not directed at the common everyday helpful Americans like you (good on you, btw) but rather those who are responsible for getting aid to the area. Enough with the photo ops for political gain! You know what I mean. There will be plenty of time for talk after the people are safe.
It's just so fucked up. I cannot make sense of it.

Those are my sentiments, too.
