Battle of New Orleans - New verse for an old song. © 2005 by Bob Miller Oh how the lazy and apathetic cry when they get mud in their eye. It was the crack on the street that came to mind heavy, not the crack in the levee. I lived on St. Charles not far from Canal. Didn’t enjoy the sleepless nights listening to you howl. Have you wondered at all, how it would now be, if you’d made those levees as tall as a tree? I know that right now you guys and gals are pissed, but tell me this, are you still laughing at the jokes you used to tell with delight about your crooked cops and politicians stealing all day and half the night? Sure some good people died, but that's what happens when you condone a political lie. In Southeast Asia, I watched three young men suffer and die who were burnt from head to toe while Johnson and Nixon played GI Joe. So for those of you who voted for George or didn’t vote at all, I don’t give a damn how many of you fall. Oh well, what the hell, I’m sure the Red Cross will ring the dinner bell. And without a doubt the Bush-Cheney Construction Companies will be out and about. Don’t worry, they'll not send the bill to you, but to the Internal Revenue. |
Bob Miller, one of America's most controversial writers
| After logging 120,000 RV miles, Nan Kilar
and Bob Miller decided to share what they had learned with fellow RVers. Miller explains,
"We published things we wished we had known way back when. Little things like what to
expect when suddenly you smell ammonia; how to easily change the air bags in the front
springs; where that chalky stuff that streaks the outside of the coach is coming from and
what to do about it." Both Kilar and Miller are quick to point out that the book is
not an RVers Bible by any stretch of the imagination. It contains some funny stuff,
worthwhile stuff, and some totally worthless stuff. Miller said, "We're hoping it
will give old timers a chuckle and Newbies some solutions." Kilar added, "When I
look at our RV, I see hundreds of time-shares and realize it cost about what one
time-share would have cost . . . and the best part is I don't have to share it." |
