Misleading Headline

You see this headline:

Thousands of Katrina Evacuees Booted From Hotels,

and what do you think? Can you picture the managers physically tossing people out into the street? The "reporter" continues the story:

Hauling everything he owned in a plastic garbage bag, Darryl Travis walked out of the chandeliered lobby of the Crowne Plaza, joining the exodus of Hurricane Katrina refugees evicted from their hotel rooms across the country Tuesday.

Don't you feel sorry for Darryl already? What a pile of you-know-what. A MUCH more accurate and truthful headline might look like this:

Taxpayers no longer have to pay the bills for incurably lazy bums who absolutely refuse to work

Feel free to call me "heartless" and claim I don't understand, but you're just plain wrong. Once again, it is NOT charity to give away someone ELSE'S (taxpayers) money.

And I *DO* know of what I speak. At one time in my life I had nothing. I had a bag of clothes and that's it. No job, no education, no help from family, nothing. Know what I did? In less than a week I had a job. I slept outside until I earned enough to rent an apartment. Then I got a better job.

So no, I do NOT feel sorry for this money-grubbing, lazy, good-for-nothing leeches that only want me to pay for their life. Screw 'em and the horse they rode in on. Personally, *I* am more than willing to help them -- but the government stealing my money is not help. If they need a job, tell them to come see me -- I'll get them a job. I'll hire them to work in my yard if I have to, but I'll give them dignity -- if they'll take it. I'm betting they won't.
