I would like to introduce you all to Leroy, a strong, proud, African American...who happens to be homeless. Already reeling from Bush’s tax-cuts for the rich and the lack of minorities in Nascar, Leroy lost the cardboard Maytag box he was living in to Hurricane Katrina. You would think it couldn’t get any worse, but it did. A group of ninjas murdered his family over some back-dues owed their local dojo. Like any true-blooded American, Leroy wished to avenge his family’s death. The problem was that he didn’t have money for the kung-fu lessons he needed to make this revenge a reality. He approached social services to no avail. Welfare doesn’t cover martial arts instruction he learned. What a helluva predicament to be in. Some f-n ninjas kill your kin and you can’t get the money to pay for the kung fu lessons you need to kick those silent assailants’ asses. I for one have empathy for the man. Maybe someday the jackasses in Washington will as well.

 

This could be any one of us.
