ANYWHERE DEMOCRATS ARE IN CHARGE THERE IS CORRUPTION AND INCOMPETENCE!!!! THEN THE GROWNUPS HAVE TO COME IN AND CLEANUP THE MESS!"

And you can bet the farm that once the mess is cleaned up (i.e., the "heavy lifting') and the BILLIONS of dollars pour in to rebuild the city, Nagin, Blanco, et al will demand to be in charge again. They're salvating at the prospect of controlling all that money.

Man this must be a wake up call in our great nation. After this, WHICH ONE OF US would want to live any longer or any closer, near a major US metropolitan area with similiar criminal demographics to New Orleans?? (3 miles away? 5 miles away? 10 miles away? Knowing that with a national emergency, terrorist attack, or pandemic, those homes and businesses could be overrun by the lawless hoardes, and that help would not be on the way to do ineptness by Democrat officials locally, or political correctness.

Man, I'd get out. Far far away. And I'd buy even more guns in the process.

Being a Simpson's fan, there's been a melody stuck in my head for a couple days. From the episode called 'A Streetcar Named Marge'

. Long before the Superdome,
. Where the Saints of football play,
. There's a city where the damned call home,
. Hear their hellish rondelet:
.
. New Orleans!
. Home of pirates, drunks, and whores...
. New Orleans!
. Tacky, overpriced souvenir stores...
.
. If you want to go to hell, you should take a trip
. To the Sodom and Gomorrah of the Mississip':
.
. New Orleans!
. Stinking, rotten, vomiting, vile...
. New Orleans!
. Putrid, brackish, maggotty, foul...
.
. New Orleans!
. Crummy, lousy, rancid and rank...
. New Orleans!
