I am still digesting Spike Lee's 'Requiem', which I think history will remember him most for. It was damn fine film making and raised some issues I didn't know existed. And the one that I was pounding on my god damn table about this morning is the fucking insurance companies.
These fucking jokers, sitting at their mahogany desks in offices far, far away, have refused to honor claims in New Orleans because the damage was caused by flooding. No shit, have you heard about hurricanes you fucking jackasses?
There's this thing, called a tidal surge, big fucking wall of water that announces the arrival of any hurricane when it hits land. I should know, Brazoria deals with hurricanes a lot. We also distrust the Army Engineers, who are known liars.
But back to the wall of water, hate to keep repeating myself, but since you have your heads so firmly stuck up your own asses I will say it slowly. Hurricanes cause flooding. The flooding was caused by the hurricane. Since these people had Hurricane Insurance, they are covered since the wall of water was hurricane related. Understand?
Where did you think this fucking flooding came from? Moses spliting the damn Mississippi Delta? A system of bayous to damn scared to flow into the gulf because a big bad storm was out there? Or could it be the mother fucking tidal surge of the god damn hurricane?
You should all be tried before the public and possibly hung for this offense. You must honor your claims, it's not our fault you finally have to pay out. What, you think in Vegas they are simply say, ok, we know you let it all ride on red and it came up black, but you don't have to pay out? Do you really think thats gonna happen?
And remember this, all you fucking ceos and adjustors and apologist, remember you this one last fucking thing. If you even think about pulling this stunt in Brazoria or Matagorda, you better bring an army.
Because filing briefs don't stop bullets, and when the ballot box fails us, we are not above seeing what's in the ammo box.
Sure FEMA failed these peoples, but what you did was steal these people's American dream about rule of law and fair play. You cannot change the rules now you have taken a huge loss, and you know, deep down in black charred harden corporate hearts, that the flooding in New Orleans was caused by the hurricane. It's fucking obvious to God and everybody.
You and your other corporate friends are on notice, and you better be careful. You are teetering the working class closer to class war, and you have already shown you write checks your ass can't cash.
So check yourself and pay these people.
Pay these mother fucking people, NOW.
