What should happen to New Orleans is that it should pull back within sustainable boundaries.
She's in love with this hell hole?
Besides, mugging stimulates their economy.
“Which is the real New Orleans”
Obviously he got to see it.
“always has been and always will be a cesspool”
And it will always be 6 ft below sea level.
She should be smart and stay away.
New Orleans has been utterly and irretrievably destroyed. George H.W. Bush must be very proud of his New World Order in operation under his son’s administration. Now we have Count Olav (to borrow from Laura Ingraham) as Attorney General (Holy MOSES!) — a man whose loyalties are as divided as his credibility is non-existent, and now a reasonable useful idiot brought in at Homeland Security
All this while the poppy fields of Afghanistan are ready to produce a huge heroin “crop” while George W. Bush presides.
Why isn’t the USA under George W. Bush fire-bombing the poppy fields of Afghanistan?
And what does that have to do with this pooor soul and the assault in New Orleans? What’s happened to this person is going to happen next to our children if we continue to tolerate the way the Bush administration operates, fails to secure the borders, and allows the world to be glutted with heroin.
This is her explaining her internship with NPR... cute thing..

Yet lot to learn...
Yes.
I admire anyone who tries to stay and fight for their city instead of running to the suburbs like a pansy. Unfortunately, when there's no city left to fight for, there's no point in staying.
Fixing New Orleans would be easy: declare martial law, patrol the streets in armored Humvees like they do in Anbar, and machine gun anybody who gives you trouble. Establish and enforce a dusk-to-dawn curfew and shoot anyone you see breaking it. Divide the city into Areas of Operation with barbed wire and fortified checkpoints, then clean the crimimals and drug dealers out of each one using paid informants and strike teams. Raze everything below sea level and let it go back to nature, then build new infrastructure on raised land. Disestablish all local government and place it under the command of a general officer operating from a GHQ a la postwar Japan.
All this done well and New Orleans would be a fine place to live in a decade or two.
Today, at 5:30 this morning, a dear friend, Helen Hill, was murdered in her home in Marigny. Her house was broken into and she and her husband were both shot. Their two year old baby was there. Paul, the father survived the shooting. The baby is ok, safe with friends right now.
Sooner or later, another hurricane is going to finish the job that Katrina started. Maybe then, and only then, will that Third World swamp be abandoned.
Not really. NO is still sinking. 15 years or so from now, it’ll be at least another foot lower relative to sea level, perhaps much more.

The above is an interesting article from the local fox that gives some insight into the murder of her friend and how they handled it. It is interesting that one of the people carried a sign that attacked people (usually in the Afro-American community) that did not report crimes.
Oddly enough, a political cartoon was critized just the other day for the same message by the NAACP...

Yeah...that would work...personally I’m looking for Katrina only much stronger to finish that sick old man that is New Orleans off under 30+ feet of water....
Anyone who is dumb enough to build a home under 10 feet of water deserves 20 feet of water to wash away their stupidity...
“Why isn’t the USA under George W. Bush fire-bombing the poppy fields of Afghanistan?”
1. Not enough planes?
2. Not enough fire bombs?
3. Kill farmers?
4. Too spread out as it is?
5. Don’t want junkies going ape on us?
6. We didn’t go into Afghanistan to wipe out the poppies?
When tourists talk about N.O. being a cesspool full of drunks, they are right. It is full of drunken tourists.
They also mean the Downtown Area within a mile or less of the French Quarter.
I was born in N.O. and raised about 20 miles west of there. No sane human being would live in downtown N.O., or Detroit, or D.C. or Philadelphia. The smaller towns around N.O. started having their own Mardi Gras parades years ago, so their citizens could enjoy the culture of Southeast LA, without having to have their children assaulted. Most people who live outside of N.O.in LA avoid Downtown unless they work there, and then they get the heck out before dark.
New Orleans..new theme song
What Have You Done for Me Lately???
This may be completely out of line, but I can’t help thinking:
“Ain’t Karma a bitch???”
President Gore. President Kerry.
He told us the police department was sooooo corrupt and that the city had a thin facade of respectability, covering a filthy, grimy, dishonest center. I loved New Orleans, but I always found his description to be honest. So, I just never looked too deeply. I really, really wish the best for New Orleans. I miss it, but not enough to pay for all their shortcomings.
