Talk about incestuous:
Mitch Landrieu, who won the 2003 lieutenant governor's race, brings to an already crowded field of candidates his 16 years of experience as a state representative and unmatched name recognition in the city: His father, Moon Landrieu, was mayor from 1970-78; his sister, Mary, is a U.S. senator, former state representative and ex-state treasurer; and his aunt, Phyllis, is president of the Orleans Parish School Board.

We on the coast ought to buy them and clean them up. There may not be any free little houses left after the next storm blows in.

I think this is a great idea. Finally, someone in NO is using their noggin. Heck, I'll bid on one!

I hope the Smithsonian gets one,this pic and quote would be perfect for the display.
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin
"I need 500 buses, man," he told WWL. "One of the briefings we had they were talking about getting, you know, public school bus drivers to come down here and bus people out of here."
Nagin described his response:
"I'm like - you've got to be kidding me. This is a natural disaster. Get every doggone Greyhound bus line in the country and get their asses moving to New Orleans."

Their last name might as well be Corleone. Jindal better strap it on tight if he wants to mess with this bunch.
Just glad I don't pay taxes to that bunch anymore.

Gee, if the bids aren't high enough maybe they'll demand that the federal government pay them for their losses.

Actually I read about a guy who buried old schoolbuses in his back yard as a storm/fallout shelter.
If I knew how much it would cost to transport one to TN, if I had land with enough dirt to bury a school bus, I'd buy one as a tornado shelter.

"There's no shame in it. Not one bit," Sure there is. They represent a failure of leadership and civic responsibility.

Not a bad idea.
Remember that kid that drove a school bus out with a bunch of babies? It was after the storm, right? That bus was running.
To: ladyjane
Odd that they didn't carry insurance on the fleet. Oh that's right, they finance things with OPM (other peoples' money).
