Just when you think that things are starting to settle down in The Big Easy their idiot mayor starts talking again.  I don’t know what is worse, his claims that God is mad America and taking it out on New Orleans, or his declaration that he’s going to build a “chocolate city”.  

The fact that Nagin is a racially motivated bigot became apparent in the days following Katrina.  Still, you have to think that his handlers would have found a way to keep that from showing by now.  Before the hurricane it was no big deal because he was never on the national scene.  Now he’s getting national media attention and they can’t keep a lid on him when he’s supposed to be honoring a man that attempted to bring the races together.  But to be honest, the MLK holiday has become more about white bashing in the past decade than it is about honoring the man and his goals.  It only follows that a jerk like Nagin would use the day to advance his platform of racism.  

Taking it back the next day is no good either.  For one thing, if the roles were reversed the black community wouldn’t accept the apology, and in truth they shouldn’t.  In a way it’s like me saying I’m sorry for stealing your lawn mower after you catch me cutting my grass with it.

You have to wonder whose running the show in New Orleans.  

More later.
