14. The Avatar stays once they're up again.
The Fluer de Lis, in remembrance of these days and those lost :(

He's been amazing in the face of all this, and now the Rovian smears are coming his way. As usual :grr:

7. That would be a terrible idea. He is a complete DINO
who, as I noted below, gave money to ** and endoresed a repuke for Gov.

That does not, however, take away from his performance during this. He is, for my money, the only elected official anywhere who is worth the oxygen to keep him breathing. Someday something important in the New New Orleans will be named the "C. Ray Nagin Whatever-it-is".

4. Goodbye, Rudy. Ray Nagin is now America's Mayor.
I do kind of wonder how he feels about giving $$ to the chimp, and about endorsing the repuke for La. governor, though. Maybe he asked for his money back??

25. I was also thinking about something like that...
and when things settle down just a little bit, doing something bigger... like maybe a fund drive in his name from us collectively as a thank-you... sort of in the spirit of the roses for Boxer.

That guy stepped up and called bullshit on the feds, and he is 100% right.

His email appears to be swamped, though.

26. Mine didn't go through, but here is what I said...
(subj)Your love for your city is obvious.

I have been overwhelmed by your passionate pleas for help from the government. I am so sorry that this administration has let you down... let your citizens down. Thank you for being the voice of all of us who sit here, infuriated yet helpless. Thank you for articulating my anger and sadness, and for doing your best to get help for the people of your city.

I'm so sorry you had to bear this burden.

15. Couldn't get through either, but here's what I wrote
Mr. Mayor, when no one else would say what needed to be said, you did.

When no one else wanted to talk about what was really happening on the ground, you talked.

And when everyone else tugged their forelocks and quietly, obediently waited for the Bush White House to do somehing - anything - that would make a difference for tens of thousands of starving, dying people:

And as the TV anchors hemmed and hawed and still wouldn't ask any of the questions that needed asking and days went by:

And as lie after lie after lie dribbled from the lips of the most incompetent president in the last hundred years:

You finally stood up and gave all these people what they need - you gave them unshirted hell. All of America that's still worth saving was right there with you, and is still there with you.

God bless you, Mr. Mayor and the people of the City of New Orleans.

24. The Mayor Rocks!!!
What a breath of fresh air!!! Someone with a little passion - telling it like it is.

I thought I'd woken up on a different planet or something when I first started hearing him.

What a wonderful, lively HUMAN contrast to that FEMA guy who is more interested in appearing "civilized" than saving lives!!!

AND DO SOMETHING. He's been great and right on in trying to get help for those people.
