Was a time when you could wear furs.

Someone stole my bag. It had my food, clothes, paycheck, and a bunch of other indispensable things in it. I am seriously screwed by this.

The White House Told the world yesterday that there is no poverty in USA so how can we believe that you are poor?

Because I'm a liar, liar dirty, homeless pants on fire!

I was using a little of old man mockery there. Any one who has traveled through Mississippi, Louisiana, East Texas, or Southern Arizona. knows there is plenty of poverty In the good old USA. I am sure there are plenty of other places as well. I did not even mention the reservations.
