"We survived!" said a triumphant Mica Rosenberg, 72, standing among the potted plants on her wooden porch in the old Bywater district. "We went to hell and back, but the only way they were going to take me out was in a bag," she said.

Now, she said, there was a chance to start afresh in New Orleans without "the hoodlums and dopes and robbers that infested this place like fleas on a dead cat".

I have a feeling the people of N.O. aren't going to put up with as much as they had had to tolerate in their town. At least I hope so. I've read several references from citizens regarding the criminal element being cleaned out of town by Katrina.

"---"One put a Magnum against my head while another punched me and stamped on my glasses. I felt the presence of an almighty egotistical force that was really scaring the bejeebees out of people who had the legal right to be here. Today, I'm just one of the people here ready to rebuild."---

Do the police down there still carry revolvers?"

Either the artist or the writer embellished the story.

Or the artist was particularly insulting.

---Don't know but it just doesn't sound right to me---

Like this Clyde Casey, artist, is a bullsh*t artist, perhaps?

I just noticed the name Adam Nadel on the pic with the idiotic dog. This guy goes anywhere there is a war, famine, death and destruction..etc...

Here is a link to some of his work: http://www.polarisimages.com/nadel.html

That image of the guys on the ground next to the tank is totally fake. He gaussian-blurred the tank. It is really blatant.

The perspective difference between the men on the ground and the tank cannot allow the type of visual blur on the tank. It is without a doubt, a photoshop creation.

It really makes me think the image of the dog and the steer (not a bull) is fake as well.

That particular photo looked kind of strange to me as well. The lighting was really odd.

I just gave the link so everyone knew who this guy was and the kind of photos he takes, and then they could draw their own conclusions.

Oh, I almost forgot. The pit bull doesn`t seem to have a shadow.

If you look at the bulls shadow, the dogs should be visible somewhere in the picture and it isn`t.

Don't worry about it blam, you're just having a run in with SAPP. Don't let them bother you. They have nothing better to do.
