What's Missing in Todd's Lament

So those church pastors who read Todd and who comment today about the inconvenience of having their bathrooms used by homeless people, and those policepeople who harass the poor beggars who also have been exposed to Todd’s award-winning prose, and those publishers Todd knows personally have all been so uniformly unaffected by the plight of our homeless that one has to wonder what’s missing in Todd’s lament for the poor?

Might it be real passion? Do you know what the hungry people would like to say to you, Mr Todd, about "sparing a special moment for worship, always identifying with them, and always being on their side.” Drop dead. Where’s my home? Where’s my food? This is my country too. And fuck your mini-celebrity. And those celebrities you gush over.

End the shameful neglect of our poor and homeless by blowing the horn of justice for them every day.
