Then that's not love, Jonesy.
I thought the brains drained out of NOLA years ago. Thats why its a Dumbocrap plantation.
How much confidence can School Bus Nagin bring to the table ?
There is a joke in that headline somewhere.
Well, duh. Why return to a city built below water level with the World's largest river on one side and a very large lake on the other? It may well come to pass that the only ones remaining will be those who can't live off the dole Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco provide.
The brains have been drained away, and no new transfusion is being brought in to replace them.
And just recently they sent William Jefferson BACK to Congress. Like they had never even been listening.
An already none-too-bright local population just got dumbed down even further, but mercifully, they are in much smaller numbers than they once were.
Will Looter Gal be okay?
Remember that fine cinema classic, "Escape from New York"? I have a better idea. And like a Mexican toilet, it flushes out every few years.
Many loss their lives because they did not heed the warnings.
lolol .. talk about a brain drain'd.
If Mayor Nagin is a manifestation of the brain power extant in New Orleans, I submit the city din't have far to fall.
An example of the "drain" was when they not only re-elected school bus Nagin but then they re-elect William "Cold Cash" Jefferson.
But losing a bunch of lawyers can only be a good thing.
I was born and raised in New Orleans. Granted, that was in the 50's and 60's. While I wouldn't send my kids to public school there today, I and most of my friends went to public school. The vast majority of my friends are college graduates. Some with advanced degrees. Most have left, including me, but we're all still New Orleanians at heart. You can never really leave no matter how far you move away. I realize that New Orleans has a very bad reputation, but it wasn't always that way.
You're right. I don't know that I fault him, but you're right.
This is a pre-Katrina headline.
Had there been brains, there would have been evacuations.
(and I bet Napoleon is laughing his butt off now on how he screwed Jefferson by dumping that hellhole on us)
