Blah blah blah. If GW was a decent guy he would cancel the inauguration and spend the night in a parking garage next to a homeless person.

How predictable.

The "Homeless" could have entered a float in the parade if they wanted to.

Homeless will be reported on until the next Democrat is elected as President.
At that point, the homeless disappear until another Republican takes office.

Homeless Mostly Invisible

As they should be.

Liberals hate it when you remove the homeless from the streets and put them indoors.

The homeless are like frilly party decorations when you want to celebrate how much America sucks.

Nationally, homelessness is rising, according to a report last month from the U.S. Conference of Mayors which found that 70 percent of 27 cities it surveyed reported a 6 percent increase in requests for emergency shelter in 2004. In 2003, the report found a 13 percent increase.

Isn't this the same report that makes up a number for the increase in hunger every year as well?

Alvin Dixon, who earns a few dollars selling "Street Sense," a newspaper written by and about the homeless, said he hoped to boost sales during the inauguration, though not to the Republican loyalists spending thousands of dollars on hotel rooms and thousands more attending glittering balls.

After checking the source link to confirm this wasn't in the Opinion section, I can only say the unbiased journalist Mr.(?) Alan Elsner must be very proud of that paragraph.

Upon further reflection, I have to wonder how much of that was even remotely "said" by Alvin Dixon. Surely no journalist would stoop to putting words into someone's mouth, especially in a story so poignant as this.</sarc>

That's funny, I don't recall any such articles prior to the Second Clinton Inagural.

The homeless in DC has been an issue for as long as I've been an American. Why this story now? Oh puleeze...

My question:

Will Reuters write a story about how the homeless are invisible while celebrities celebrate during the Golden Globe awards? The SAG Awards? The Oscars? The schwag those celebrities get at award shows could, quite possible, cut the homeless problem in half (if the problem was solely lack of money).

Its just ridiculous.

Isn't this SOP for an inauguration. No offense, but for a lot of homeless,there is a reason for it, and it centers around personal responsibility.

It really is pathetic how little originality the MSM is exhibiting. They are going back to the well and it is dry. Yes, Bush is responsible for homelessness, yes, Bush lied about (fill in the blank), yes, Bush wants to rob grandma's social security check, yes, Bush wants to drag young black men behind vehicles, yes, this has been a recording of the MSM brought to you by years and years of the same shyt.

Breaking News! Drinking cheap wine and smoking crack makes you invisible. In a related discovery, PCP was found to make you invulnerable, and LSD was found to make you capable of flight.

Could it be because there is a SNOW STORM in DC? If they weren't brought indoors, it would be Bush's fault for being a heartless SOB and letting them freeze. Reuters is pathetic.
