#1 Over the next fortnight he will unfortunately be filing stories as he travels the US by bus and train from Louisiana to Wyoming.

Want to lay odds he goesn't reach Wyoming?

Wow. Sounds like "The Fugitive". Maybe he'll find a one-armed guy he can blame on Bush.

#3 a sign comes into view advertising another event on the city's 2006 calendar: "Gun Show, BIG One, Jan 28-29."

Oh MY David, how shocking! A gun show! In the South no less!

Didn't the Australians used to be a race of rugged outdoorsmen or something? Damn, this guy sounds like a freaking San Franciscan!

#4 Isn't Wyoming where Cheney is from? I bet he'll make it there.

#5 SM - As with all melting pots, the Ozzies have a thin layer of scum riding on top, too.

#6 David is enroute to see the Wyoming screening of Brokeback Mountain. Yes David some people who don't work and pop out children like a pez disperser have a rough time making ends meet in the U.S. But I doubt he is giving us or omitted the whole story. I have yet to see a section 8er that lives in a palace but if she is living in a total dump then she can complain to the LOCAL welfare/aid worker. Only the LOCAL welfare/aid worker can condemn a place for section 8 housing and move her to another place. The daughter sounds like a winner to, three kids and not a mention of the father. I would use the old apple/tree analogy but I think everyone sees the dependent/non-working relationship here. Anyone want to bet that none of the family has ventured out to look for work inthe Homestead area? FYI working part time would not suspend their benifits and might IMPROVE their standard of living. Renita good job, you raised ANOTHER generation that will have to rely on state support.

#7 this is as lame and as shallow as that Olive Garden story. Damn, I wish I could get paid to write crap like this. Sounds like he was riding on the Amtrak train and spoke to three or four passengers and then, despite the good nature of the people he spoke to, spent about 10 minutes writing what reads like a snotty blog entry about a not-so sympathetic character in a city where really sympathetic ones are on every corner in town.

#8 Deportation is always a possibility for undesirables like this assclown.

#9 so she had eight kids, two grandkids she has to watch because her spawn has already proven inadequate in the natural urges of parenting, and she's bitching??? Should've closed those firing tubes a LONG time ago
