Homicidal Rage: Starting NOW
Ok, I was pissed off before but now...last straw, folks. Guess who got awarded the clean-up contract for Hurricane Katrina. You get 3 guesses, first 2 don't count.

Yeah, that's right FUCKING HALLIBURTON. SON OF A BITCH.

3. I know. I'm NOT OK either.
That was pretty fucking fast, eh.

Fuck these people. It's time to round them up and put them in jail. It's time they were all fucking ass-raped, and trading blow jobs for cigarettes.

8. No, they don't
apparently. And quite literally every single time I think that I could not possibly become more enraged, they do something to prove me wrong.

9. I actually said it
to my Repub mom on Monday. "Mom, watch. They'll award the clean-up contract to Halliburton." My Bush-loving Mom replied, "Oh no, honey. They wouldn't be that stupid."

Wrong again, Mom. x(

6. I fucking KNEW it...
The entire reconstruction is going to be a huge exercise in crony capitalism at the expense of the taxpayers and to the detriment of the victims.

Remember, these are the same fuckers who haven't been able to restore electricity or clean water in Iraq for TWO YEARS.

:nuke: :grr: :banghead:

10. Yes and
the very people that just hired them for another job KNOW that they're overcharging by the billions. What in the fuck is wrong with these people? And more importantly, what are we going to do about it?

12. The real shock is anyone being surprised by this.
And all that will follow is equally clear to see.

14. I don't really think people are surprised
it's just the straw that broke the camel's back, if it wasn't broken already.
