I'm sure everything you said about  problems caused by the Corps of 
Engineers is right on the money. What I find shocking is the sheer stupidity 
of the city's residents in reelecting Nagin. After Gustav's recent brush 
with N.O. the airways were. once again, inundated with talking heads. 

Yet here  was Nagin, telling everyone to stay put. Meanwhile, the Superdome 
gets readied for Sunday's game. Jesus H, don't they have any ballot boxes in 
that part of the country? Over the years the NOPD and local politicians have 
had disgustingly bad reps. Crooked, inefficient and generally without merit. 
Still yet, someone's putting those people in office.

The neglect and mistreatment of N.O.'s citizens following Katrina was damn 
near heartbreaking. And now. it's d?j? vu all over again. Time to tell those 
folks to shush up... Time to say when you get what you ask for you might 
have it coming.
