Gambling will keep that town on the straight and narrow.

Great way to keep crooks honest.

Once again, brilliant, Nagin.

What's that saying about "ill-gotten gains?"

Consider the scripture "Upon this Rock I will build my Church." Matthew 16:18.

But, no, Nagin wants to re-build N.O. in a hole, between a lake and a river, and on the Gulf of Mexico.

And he wants to use money that people lose by gambling.

It ain't gonna last.

You are so right.
Plus, gambling, a la Las Vegas, A.K.A. "Lost Wages," is really a no-win for Americans.....except for the American Indians. Tax-free gambling billion$. They and the Mafia, what a pair.
Gambling always brings in SLEAZE -- cheats, thieves, drugs, prostitution, money-laundering, gambling sickos, boring, sleazy shows (Yep, I'm a middle-aged woman who fell asleep during the gay-men/topless show"girls" revues. Yawn. Vegas doesn't even use live music anymore -- all canned.) and those WUNNERful Sleazywood performers.
Sorry, Wayne Newton's face and hair could ALONE pay for everyone's mortgage in America. It was hard to even look at him. I liked him 30 years ago.
