Frowning takes 68 muscles.

I'm lazy.
I see 'em every time I watch an episode of COPS...
History Channel did a one hour Gangland show about the vermin from NOLA.
On a related note, the Austin Film Festival recently held a casting call for those who could look "down and out" and dress "drabbily" for a Bill White commercial!!
I met a couple of Katrina evacuees from NOLA —good working class folks who were black and hardcore democrats—and their anger was directed at Mayor Nagin.
They were furious that he split town during the hurricane and then had the balz to blame Bush for the pitiful FEMA response.
FYI, looking for a Houston TV interview of Katrina evacuees.
As a Katrana survivor, myself, and one that saw the politicians bring the buses around for election time, it is all too true! Nanny Blanco had no idea what to do, and froze. “Chocolate City” Nagin, the former CEO of Cox Cable, couldn’t figure out what to do to save his image. All the time, All those school buses just sat in water, and didn’t move. Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard got on the radio that night, and told everybody that couldn’t get out of town, “that it was their own fault!” (I heard this one myself!) Not for nothing, Greyhound Bus Line ordered cessation of operations to the New Orleans area as of noon, the day before the storm came! So, without a car, and no intracity busline, we were stuck!
