This is a photo of me and one of the many street performers of what was once the great city of New Orleans. What a superb time this photo represents. It was taken in the late afternoon, several days into our trip. Bourbon Street was alive with music, much drinking, and laughter. I had a nice buzz going, hangin’ out with Amy and looking forward to another incredible dinner of New Orleans cuisine and more fun and music. What great people. What a great city.

In all likelihood, this funny, cool cat (who Amy and I saw around the French Quarter almost every day of our trip) has been swept away in the great shitstorm of BushCo’s arrogance and criminal incompetence. It just breaks my heart that the people of New Orleans — with all of their humor, culture, and generous spirit — are facing this unnecessary nightmare.

Fuck.

So for all of you racist, heartless, gutless Republican pieces of shit who are saying that these people got what they deserved….

Go fucking die.

Seriously. Do us all a favor.

You’ve brought enough misery to this world.

The spaceship awaits. Climb the fuck aboard.
