New Orleans

I'm not heartless. I'm really not. I just do not care to hear one more thing about Hurricane Katrina. Seriously. If you watched the NFL's first game of the season last night then you know what I am talking about. If you'd believe the media, the New Orleans Saints- a FOOTBALL team- helped to save an entire city. Really? Hmm. I seem to remember those players getting the heck out of town (as any sane person with the means to would have) and not coming back until it was safe. How is that saving a city? Are they all donating their entire salaries back to the city? No. Did Drew Brees really chose to go to New Orleans or was he not wanted in Miami? The latter. Do not even get me started on Drew Brees' book. Could he be more self-righteous if he tried? I'm all for giving credit where credit is due, but I'm not sure credit belongs with a football team. It has been 5 years since the hurricane hit the city nestled BELOW sea level. According to my Facebook observations, we're ALL over hearing about Katrina. Rebuild if that is what you want to do. (Please note: you will still be below sea level.) Cities and towns do it all of the time after natural disasters. Why are you so special, New Orleans?

Also, someone please tell Saints fans that they sound uneducated and stupid when they say, "who dat?!" Really. What are you trying to say? Who is that? Is that what you mean? The last time I checked "dat" was not a word. Do us all a favor and stop sounding like idiots. The United States is one of the most highly educated countries in the world so let's start acting like it.

End of rant.
