===============
A pal filched these photographs and their photo captions from Yahoo News. The one on the left (I hope -- image posting on Vleeptron is still not an exact science) has one man, the one on the right has a woman and a man. The solo's photo and caption are from the Associated Press. The couple's photo and caption are credited to Agence-France Press.
Print/newspaper journalists call a photo caption a "cutline." (TV journalists call it "a word thing.") I've run both cutlines "stet" -- editor's word for "just exactly as we got it, no changes."
The Kiddie Game was called "What's Wrong With This Picture?" Here on Vleeptron, today's game is called "What's Wrong With These Cutlines?"

We were taught in Sunday School that when your city runs out of food, God prefers everybody to starve to death.

Is that Dante? Is Dante singing about The Blues, about Melancholia?
Cool! Grazie!
Now I will take 23 aspirin and try to translate this!
This disaster was man-made.
Certainly, the hurricane was a natural disaster. But the slowness of the response, the lack of planning and a plan FOUR YEARS after 9/11 to be able to evacuate a city, the lack of a plan to transport the poor and vehicle-less out of a major metropolitan area, the cutting of the funding for the Army Corps of Engineers levee program, and the President's callous disdain and distant are all man-made.
I feel the pain and suffering and death as if there was a "disturbance in the force".
Our Government is truly evil. 51% of the American People are now getting the President they voted for.
