Every population deserves its government, as a wise man once said. Serves them right.

Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

H. L. Mencken

Damn, I love Mencken. I gotta break some out. I collected old hard cover Mencken books for a while. Fun hobby.

They are mad as h3ll over at DUmbs@#t Underground about him winning. The reason? They think he's a DINO.

I'm sorry, but the folks in NO are hopeless for re-electing him. Not that his opponent was any better. A real lose-lose situation in the Big Easy. God help you.

The DUmmies are yowling in distress over Nagin's victory, claiming that he is -- waaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiit for it -- an ULTRA-CONSERVATIVE (!!!).

Read through the thread. See for yourself. :)

You beat me to it. In this case, the old proverb is indisputably correct.

Those "displaced voters" bussed into the city today are not coming back. Nagin not only played the race card, he dealt it from the bottom of the deck.

When asked if he was surprised that the out-of-town vote was in his favor, he said something to the effect of "not in the least" with a cocky, s^@$-eating grin on his face. What a gentleman.
