Misanthropy 101, Part II

Apparently hating on the poor kids is a big meme of conservatives this week.  Michael Bloomberg, outgoing (thank God) Mayor of New York City (calling yourself an Independent because you disagree with republicans on gays and guns while marching lockstep with them on everything else doesn't make you a Liberal) said this week when asked about 11-year-old Dasani, the subject of a New York Times series on the poor:

"The kid was dealt a bad hand.  I don't know why.  That's just the way God works.  Sometimes some of us are lucky and some of us are not."

You know, it takes a special breed of chickenshit to blame God for the harm your policies (see at the first link) have caused your fellow human beings.

Peace,
