I had the chance to visit a few times, but my impression of the place was that it was full of half-awake people that didn't care much about anything beyond when last call at the local bar was. Post hurricane(s), I hear people blather on about how the place must be rebuilt to its former glory to preserve the "cultural hertiage" so important to America. So I'm supposed to put my grandchildren further into debt to rebuild a place whose only claim to fame I can see is giving beaded necklaces to ditzy women who show their breasts in public; to support a political system that is the third highest in corruption as measured by politicos convicted per capita; and to a place thats always in the running for murder capital of the world? I don't think so - and I've told my congresscritters so. I've never been to New Orleans.

The story is already out. Eighty percent of the Federal money committed has been let out with no-bid contracts. Guess who the winners are?

The MSM will go along with it. Louisiana Citizens will go along with it. Mayor Negin will go along with it So will Governor Blanco. And lastly, Mike Chertoff will go along with it as long as his rear end is covered. If there is any corruption in the disaster funds in Louisiana, They can always blame it on Mike Brown and FEMA.
