Yeah in fact I was pretty much a lurker then and I was watching FR all the time to get updates. It was pretty good. Ironic though those hurricane threads were a reason after about two weeks after the hurricane I stopped coming here for several months. The threads here would drive me nuts and want to hit the person that was posting the biggest nonsense lol. But before the "Blame game" started the threads here were a great resource. I have thought recently of going back and looking at them. To me it sort of like a 9/11 when I read those threads from that day. Things changed for me greatly on both.

Certainly understandable, I just wondered if you knew that such a great resource for history existed. Thanks for posting the info on Mayor Nagin. NOLA going for the conservative choice must be making Dems shiver all over the country.

I have a rule: the real news is what MSM avoids reporting.
There was not a mention on the Sunday shows about Nagin/Landrieu. The media follow the "move along, nothing to see here" habit whenever the news is bad for liberals.

Somewhat similar experience here except I was a relatively longtime freeper. Native New Orleanian living elsewhere, but with family & property ties in the city. Had to leave FR and didn't feel safe to come back until a month or two ago (tho' now I'm a little rattled by the fairly rabid immigrant bashing so shockingly prevalent here). But no one who knows me here (TX) as a conservative understands why I was so happy to see Nagin win. Lord knows Nagin's got his faults but anyone who loves the town knows that the crooked Landrieu/Blanco mafia, which is the root cause of all the misery in our city before & after the storm wanted to see those slimeballs win. Reminds me of when I was living there quite a few years ago and the choice was between Edwin (gag) Edwards & David (double gag)Duke for gov: everybody had bumper stickers that said "Hold your nose & vote for the crook." This time, though, Nagin's not the crook. He's a good hearted guy in over his head and lacking the guile & political savvy which would have helped him avoid some of the major gaffes. It's more important what he is not: a member of that sordid band of thieves who have kept LA as their own personal 3rd world fiefdom that I hold directly responsible for many of the deaths & destruction we saw there.
