Tonight in Osaka we had a fundraiser for Katrina victims (taking up slack for Bush's sorry ass). Not because we like his fuzzy buns, but because we freaking care.
Funny that here in Osaka JAPAN, a ragtag group of beer drinkers and a friendly bar owner from LA are needed to make up part of the difference between health and hell for former residents of NOLA.
This is compassionate conservatism: the government (we the people) only pays for foreign fiascos and no-bid contracts for Haliburton. All else gets paid for by random individuals from the four corners of the earth.
Cajun food, drinks, music provided by a Detroit rapper named max, a guitarist from western Australia and a drummer from Oregon. All here in the middle of Japan, land of mad max and blade runner.
Here's to a bluer 2006 and an end to the reign of bloody red. Bottom's up... and god save NOLA.
