It will have an atm machine where the residents of New Orleans can withdraw cash from FEMA 24/7.

reinforce the notion of New Orleans as the most European of American cities and as the leading city of the Caribbean, Fine. Let Haiti have it.

"Whether the memorial is built remains to be seen. Planners propose private funding, but none has been secured. Besides the $3.5 million building cost, annual upkeep costs of $70,000 are projected. No specific design — or method of choosing one — has been developed."ROFLOL! Yeah, until the money is embezzled by the scions of Chocolate City's political elite!

... and the local arts community seems to agree ...Like they're going to refuse buckets and buckets of money to create garbage.

Reads like a skillfully worded press release designed to justify having some congressman throw a pork sandwich into the next bill when nobody is looking. Maybe they should look in Representative Jefferson’s freezer first.

A statue of al gore swinging a bat at GWB will no doubt pass the ‘art test’.

No doubt the Memorial will resemble the baby bird in feeding pose symbolizing the feed me , I’ve fell out of my nest, attitude of those too stupid to leave when leaving was good.
As to elevating the city above flood level........based on recent amounts of bullsh*t shoveled there on a day to day basis alone ........that ville should be a mile high city by now.......
just my opinion of course.

Unbelievable, a cheapening of memorials. Memorials are for war veterans and the like, NOT things of this nature. Why there’s even a memorial to AIDs victims for crimony’s sakes. Enough is enough.

"Will it be made of chocolate?"
That was my first thought when I saw the title of this post...big freakin' "Mr. Goodbar" statue.
But the hurricane was bad, but I will never visit New Orleans because of the attitude of that a**hole of a mayor they've got. He stressed vehemently that N.O. is a "Chocolate City"...so I'm keeping my vanilla ass home.

On the other hand, it ought to mean that the next time they get hit by a natural disaster, we PAYING TAXPAYERS shouldn’t have to send them any money.

I know, how about a statue of the guy with the tub of beer wading in waist deep water. That is the image I remember of Katrina!

OK, here's my choice for the design of a heroic fresco on the ceiling of the memorial building:

Let’s see...wasn’t about a billion bucks donated for Katrina victims? I don’t believe that all of it was used by the other states that were more severely hit directly by the hurricane than NO which was a victim of primarily local political malfeasance. Let em eat chocolate.
