Did he give priority to chocolates or is that implicit?

Conviently, his evacuation plan doubles as a "get out the vote" plan...

"Amtrak trains will also be used for evacuation purposes, which we're really excited about," Nagin said.
Wow! That man can really turn a phrase.

Flashback:
In fact, while the last regularly scheduled train out of town had left a few hours earlier, Amtrak had decided to run a "dead-head" train that evening to move equipment out of the city. It was headed for high ground in Macomb, Miss., and it had room for several hundred passengers. "We offered the city the opportunity to take evacuees out of harm's way," said Amtrak spokesman Cliff Black. "The city declined." So the ghost train left New Orleans at 8:30 p.m., with no passengers on board.

In the future, evacuees will be allowed to bring pets with them as long as they have some type of cage to safely put them inThe designated evacuation shelters will have to stockpile cat food, dog food and some pooper scoopers for future evacuations.

Mayor Ray Nagin unveiled a new evacuation strategy for New Orleans on Tuesday that relies more on buses and trains and eliminates the Superdome and Convention Center as shelters. "There will be no shelter of last resort," Nagin declared.I was expecting a link to Scrappleface but see that its a real article. Amazing.

Stephen Colbert's funniest line at the WH correspondents' dinner was when he welcomed Mayor Nagin to Washington DC, "the chocolate city with a soft marshmallow center."

I think they need to ShUT DOWN New orleans, and ask the last person out of town to turn off the lights. I am glad I didn't give any money to sink in a rat hole. Foolish people build on flood plains, and stupid build below sea level.
