Ray Nagin needs to go

Oh, this one was a LOT of fun at work today!

One theory is that he can't justify not running for re-election, but doesn't really want to keep the job, so he's seeing how many people he can alienate so that he doesn't win the election. A big part of that will depend A LOT on who is running against him.

He also had quite a conversation with Dr. King about the state of things - including shootings at the second-line the previous day, black-on-black crime, the African-American community not taking care of their women or children.

For those of you who want to see the speech - here's a link (it's about 8 minutes)

He did have some decent things to say - he just lost a TON of credibility as a 'leader' (if he had a ton to lose) by some of it.

But the up-side is, I may know what I'm going to do for Mardi Gras this year!

As I was looking to see if I could find a transcript of the speech, I did run across this article that postulated the amount of damage if the levees had done what they were SUPPOSED to be designed to do. I'm not sure if these postulations assumed that the barge did or didn't run into the one levee (I can't remember which one that was on).

I can usually look at a few articles on the website before I have to 'sign in'.
