my landlord is FURIOUS about New Orleans -- he's got the stereo cranked

... so high that I can feel the vibrations in the basement.

This has been going on all weekend, through to midnight. (I'm not upset, since I haven't been able to sleep much either.) He's been playing blues, jazz, zydeco ... I didn't realize his music collection was so extensive!

I happened to wander upstairs to put some clothes in the washer -- he was looking at the news, and when they showed footage of Bush's little disaster photo-op, I thought he was going to pop a vein or something! I've never seen him this angry before. He's always been skeptical of Bush's policies, but this is in a whole different league.

My landlord is pretty high up in a Canadian government department -- not the feds, but one of the provinces. He says that his whole office is talking about the disaster, and everyone is shocked.

1. Wow!

Maybe other countries will finally find the rage to come liberate us here in the states.
