Thanks to lanya and chicky.
I would suggest to those who are suggesting changes that you read the original article. My piece here was nothing more than a rip off of the original which had a decidedly more conservative flavor.
In the original article, Mr Hubbell actually states that no one like his Angry White Man drowned in Katrina and that is where I got that line.
You could have pointed out then that he was wrong about that.
