Like this is new?!?
One is a pothead and the other one does meth. Yeah, that should help them get back on their feet.
ASS-ociated Press 3-part homeless hit piece, that's all. It's appearing in my local Green Bay Press-Gazette rag. Nothing better to do than to insinuate if the mean-old Bush monster wasn't President none of this would be happening. Of course, during the glorious Clinton years the homeless were nowhere to be found.
10k homeless in Hollywood?! Where the hell do they get that number from? I LIVE in Hollywood, and there is no way in hell there are that many here--not even close.
Sorry, mis-read: but even 3300k is probably over-estimating the amount--Hollywood is NOT a very big place.
This is probably Bush's fault somehow.
These kids are simply lowlifes seeking attention, and the stupid AP gives them a platform. Hopefully, most readers recognize this for the propaganda it is.
I thought this was an interesting article and I didn't see how the AP said this problem was caused by George Bush. Just calm down,not everyone is out to get you.
Choices have consequences:
"It's cold back in Chicago
In LA it's worse
When all you got is Twentynine dollars
And an alligator purse"
(Tom Waits)
I am amazed that the "compassionate liberals" in Hollywood don't give these kids the free shelter, meals, clothes and cars that they deserve.
And what does this product of a broken home, with very few real prospects for the future choose?
DUMBA$$!
People of this ilk are beneath contempt and unworthy of my pity. Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll depart the gene pool before he knocks up some crack ho out in Hollywierd and produces another burden to the State that taxpayers will be obliged to support.
Like the man said: "Choose, but choose wisely. He chose... poorly."

Johnny's in the basement mixxing up the medicine.
"He always thought I was too wild and he always thought my music was a bad thing," Stone says. "He didn't see that this is what I wanted to do with my life."
An older brother is now in college, his foster father adopted one brother and the third was placed with another foster family.
At his lowest point, Stone says, he worked at a Subway shop during the day and slept behind the store at night.
"You just think, 'What did I do to deserve this? What did I do to get here?'
4 paragraphs later the kid wonders how he got there.
A gal in her early 20s walked up to me on the street a few days ago downtown. She didn't seem mentally ill. She started telling me how she had come from Seattle and run out of money. I gave her $5 bucks. Now that I think about it I should have taken her to the bus station and bought her a ticket home.
