First off, you have no idea how much whisky I poured down my throat last night watching the returns from the election. Overall the results weren’t that bad, but Nagin got re-elected. (Wish I had a hang-over to match my mood.)
To the fools that voted for Willy Wonka’s stand-in: You will never see the Lower Ninth or East N.O. rebuilt, or if it is, it won’t be for you folks. Can we say Cannizaro?
For those folks from the Projects that voted on race: you’re never coming home again. You won’t be able to afford to live here in the new New Orleans. You have helped undo everything that this city stood for over the centuries. I hope you like living in Detroit.
Well, at least we have a new City Council… maybe they can overcome the insanity of ‘Chocolate City’ Ray and his bid’ness buddies. (Batt and Clarkson are gone… sweet zombie Jezus, yes!)
Those of us here will live, it just means we will have to fight harder to save our city. For those who voted for Nagin, stay the fuck away from our city. We don’t want you here.
