This isn't exactly breaking news to residents of Lousiana, and New Orleans in particular.

The question isn't if, it's when.

[Theodore R.]

New Orleans has been on a downward spiral for 40 years. It peaked as a "livable" city during the reform administration of the late Democrat Mayor de Lesseps Story "Chep" Morrison, who rescued his city from the corrupt Robert Maestri machine at the end of World War II. Three times Morrison tried but failed to be the Democratic gubernatorial nominee. At the time Morrison was considered a "liberal" and an "integrationist." In retrospect, Morrison looks more and more like a nonpartisan civic booster with a great deal of common sense and business management, something New Orleans now lacks. Woe, could New Orleans only return to the days of Mayor Morrison.

Man ... for a moment I thought you were gonna tell me Morial got a recount on his "Third Term" amendment.

Scarily prescient!
