God, help them.

"In some ways, it sounds strange, but we're actually doing better than we normally are," Allen said.

I bet, got a new tv, some free tennis shoes...etc.

[nevergore]

This is a chance for the gay's to redocorate......

Be prepared for "Queer Eye for the NO" on Fox this fall...

NeverGore :^)

[Cicero]

It reminds me of the Dance of Death, when they celebrated in honor of the great plague during the middle ages.

[Jaded]

That's just wrong.

[QueenBee3]

Good for them. Any semblence of normalcy is a good thing, no matter how out there. The human spirit is pretty resiliant.

"Jelly Sandwich"

I don't want to know more.

[mtbopfuyn]

Eeeww! After reading that, a bath in Lysol is needed.

The CNN guy was glad to see that festive spirit remained in the midst of all the misery.

[doubleA]

It really makes one want to donate, doesn't it?

[guitarnick40]

Absolutely, the liberals throughout the world are the culture of death and the devil it appears,(to everyone but them). Just ask the 40 + million casualties of their war on civility & humanity.

[Gay State Conservative]

DemocRAT voters...each and every one.

[billnaz]

Ah, yes, good old New Orleans. Here you are in muck up to your necks, and you're letting someone else do the cleaning up for you while you have a parade.

When the water recedes New Orleans should be turned into a field artillery impact area.

[I still care]

"The CNN guy was glad to see that festive spirit remained in the midst of all the misery."

He was just looking at the naked people on the balcony.

"I've never seen so many naked people in my life." - my brother, at his first and last Mardi Gras.

[Emmett McCarthy]

I guess we can always count on the queers to come out and celebrate their queerness.

"Our Strength Is Our Perversity" Isn't that their motto?

[The Brush]

"Hey, we've got to keep our morale up, too..

At first I thought it read "morals" I don't read well in the morning

[Spunky]

"On at least one balcony, birthday suits were the uniform of the day.

....He and a group of survivors who live near the Ursulines Convent on Chartres combine provisions each evening for dishes such as "Wienie Jambalaya."

Eeeeeeeuuuuuu! Gross!

[Sola Veritas]

"As the parade moved along, people came out on balconies and threw down beads. On at least one balcony, birthday suits were the uniform of the day."

Decadence day....seems it is aptly named. What a face to show to the world. This is NOT how I want America presented. Although, sad to say, maybe this is really want America has become.

[GOPologist]

They want to keep their morale up. Right! Just parade with your tutus on, bend over, and the guy(?) in back of you will certainly have his "morale" up.
