a few more pearls of wisdom on getting on up out the ghetto

Judie Anderson of La Porte, Texas, covered just 45 miles in 12 hours. She had been on the road since 10 p.m. Wednesday, headed toward Oklahoma, which by Thursday was still very far away.

''This is the worst planning I've ever seen,'' she said. ''They say, 'We've learned a lot from Hurricane Katrina.' Well, you couldn't prove it by me.''


followed by this:

Eddie McKinney, 64, who had no home, no teeth and a torn shirt, stood outside the EZ Pawn shop, drinking a beer under a sign that said, ''No Loitering.''

''We got no other choice but to stay here. We're homeless and we're broke,'' he said. ''I thought about going to Dallas, but now it's too late. I got no way to get there.''

Where will he stay?

''A nice white man gave me a motel room for three days. Just walked up and said, 'Here.' So my buddy and me will stick it out,'' he said, pointing to another homeless man. "We got a half-gallon of whiskey and a room."



well there you go then.
