"Up until Rita, everyone was pretty upbeat," New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin (search) said Thursday during a blustery outdoor news conference amid intermittent rain. "Now that Rita has come into the picture, it's been difficult."

~Happy Days are here again~
"Happy Days are here again," Said New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin. "Yes, the water's down, Come back into town. Happy days are here again."

A storm named Rita's coming strong, Nagin fears the levees won't last long. He'll repeat his hymn To folks he once made swim, "Don't blame me. I'm never wrong."
