“Even after the Super Bowl victory of the New Orleans Saints, I have noticed a large number of people implying, with bad jokes, that Cajuns aren’t smart. I would like to state for the record that I disagree with that assessment. Anybody that would build a city five feet below sea level in a hurricane zone and fill it with Democrats who can’t swim is a genius.”
The French Quarter (built on high ground) was fine (I believe they only lost power); everything added afterwards was screwed...
No self-respecting Cajun would live in NOLA. This is a bit like saying New Yorkers live in Boston.
