Every year, the media bombards us with sob stories about how the homeless won't have any kind of Thanksgiving and how this is such a horrible, rotten country because we're sitting all warm and stuffed full of food in our homes watching football and we just don't care. The message, of course, is "How dare you be so uncaring as to not be deliberately miserable like us!"
Looks like the Katrina "victims" are this year's homeless. Funny how the survivors of Rita and Wilma don't seem to count.
I know an old man who accumulated a $300,000 investment account by eating lunch and dinner every day at a soup kitchen run by local churches. He calls it his social life.
