"A Chocolate City? How about Cafe Au Lait?"
Mood:  down
I just have to say to anyone that happens to be reading this...first of all, on behalf of New Orleans...I aplologize.

We clearly have an idiot for a mayor. I am at an overall loss for words at this time, well, that's not exactly accurate because the truth is, I have about a million things running through my mind right now, and just can't get them to slow down enough to figure out how to word them in any sort of sense at this time because I am so angry and ashamed of what he has done to our city.

It's to the point now, that I hate to even endorse anyone or even commend them for anything they do well because then they seem to go and do something so incredibly stupid, but mannnn, this one took the cake!

I watched and listened in disbelief last night, to a man I'd been so proud of during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, just cost us all here in the city of New Orleans probably millions if not billions of dollars to rebuild our already devastated city. Why? Because why in this world would Congress EVER decide to send us the funding to rebuild the city and the levee system the way it should have been built to start with, and why should anyone or any business EVER try to move to this city and build up our economy with leadership like Mayor Nagin demonstrated we apparently have? "THAT is what New Orleans has sitting in office, making decisions?? Deciding that the city should be "Chocolate", that it always has been and that "God wants it that way"???"

Funny, in all the efforts of rebuilding ANY devasted city, it was my belief that people were grateful for ANYONE that was eager to stay, or for those that were interested in moving to the city and digging in and cleaning up, getting themselves dirty and to make the city survive. Let's face it, our city doesn't exactly look quite as lovely as it once did, and it is going to take a lot of work and years to even get it back to where it once was...but it was also my understanding that our whole intent was to make it better...I never understood that it took a certain race or color to do that. I thought we were ALL God's children. Funny, I thought that was what Martin Luther King's beliefs and preachings were all about too. Sad that Nagin had to use a great man's celebrational day to exercise his chance to pander to people to try and gain a few more votes for an election that will be coming up soon.

SAVE NOLA...IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE WHITE, BLACK, YELLOW, BROWN, RED, OR PURPLE POLKA-DOTTED! LEAVE THE SMALL MINDS AND RACIST COMMENTS OUT OF IT!!!! And God probably isn't too happy with a lot of things that are happening in this world (like racist small minded minds and big mouths being one of them, for instance) however, we had MEN that built our levee systems and they did a substandard job on them. The amount of money we were SUPPOSED to get from Congress, before some elected official stupidly offended intelligent sensibilities last night, however, and showed that New Orleans can't even get on the same pages, probably just cost us more than his political career.
