Wow...and here, all this time, I thought that Obama's ascension to the Throne and its accompanying do-gooder vibe was supposed to suddenly make us all care about each other, and help each other, and want to stand around holding hands, singing "Kum ba Yah"...and here, we have this. What went wrong?

It's sad that no one helped him; poor man. It does say something, perhaps, about how desensitized we've become.

No good deed goes unpunished; and for some odd reason, the homeless don't exactly have the most trustworthy reputation going.
