It just had to happen sooner or later didn't it???

Quote: | Nagin, who has hosted a steady stream of foreign dignitaries since Hurricane Katrina hit in late August, says he may seek international assistance because U.S. aid has not been sufficient to get the city back on its feet. |
And although we bought it way back when I think they have forgotten
Quote: | French Transport Minister Dominique Perben, leading the French delegation to a city that was founded by France in 1718, said, "This catastrophe has deeply upset the French people and the French government."
France, Perben said through a translator, "wants to be a long-term partner for Louisiana and New Orleans."

Maybe one of these nations can instruct him on how to utilize 500 buses in an emergency evacuation getting drivers where he can.
How can anyone feel anything but contempt for this Mayor, seeing so many empty buses sitting idle in the yard surrounded by flood waters while so many people languished in the Superdome? |

At our company meeting this past week, I had the opportunity to discuss NOLA's situation and Mayor Nagin with company employees who live in the NOLA metro area. First, not a single one was offended when I described Ray Nagin as "your a**clown mayor", rather they to a person agreed Nagin is the biggest fool to come down the pike since maybe Jimmy Carter. I specifically asked a Mandeville resident where she sees NOLA being five years from now: she shoke her head sadly and replied "I just don't know." |

We need all of those residents back in NO to vote the fool out of office.
Bringing in other countries sounds like another attempt to humiliate and intimidate our Prez. _________________ Tin Can Gunline Vietnam

New Orleans has no mayor. This city has no leadership. _________________ "An activist is the person who cleans up the water, not the one claiming its dirty."

Maybe Belgium will help. They make a great chocolate. Might help Negan make his "chocolate city".
