Dateline: Home Study

Well events of today make it clear that Mayor Ray Nagin is a complete and total idiot incapable of running even the smallest of dog shelters. He was oh so quick to criticize the federal government for not stepping I nearly enough to do his job and save lives in New Orleans and now that he has federal help, he thinks he is too good to take it. Yep, after all of his whining, crying, and complaining like a little spoiled kid, the federal government sends in Vice Admiral Thad Allen. The Coastie takes charge and along with Lt. Gen. Honore kicks a little butt and takes back control of the city the Mayor lost.

Now Nagin wants to appear Mayoral and trick his followers that he is in charge and to do this he wants to bring people back into the city. Okay, I suspect there are two reasons for this: 1) Nagin is just plain stupid and has no idea what in the hell he is doing, and; 2) he is desperate to get some tax money back in the city (I think more of #1 than of #2). Well there are a couple of problems with the plan, namely there is no reliable 911 service, electricity is spotty, water is uncertain, the levees are still only patched and not fully repaired, and there is another storm coming.

Most people, people with half a brain that is, could see that these were problems. Idiot-Nagin sees no such thing so Vice Admiral Allen tells him the idea is hosed from the git-go. Nagin wants to prove his are bigger than Allen’s so he pushes forward and refers to Admiral Allen as “the new crowned federal mayor of New Orleans”. Admittedly Allen is probably a little self-serving here too, namely he has already pulled Nagin’s dumbass out of the flood waters once and he doesn’t want to have to do it again.

Fortunately by the end of day idiot-Nagin had backed off his plan. At least we, the federal taxpayers, will not have to pay pull his royal idiot Nagin’s butt out of the waters again. If Nagin had any courage at all he would resign his post now and cite the reason as incompetence. Of course people that damn dumb are too dumb to know they are dumb. I feel for the citizens of New Orleans…but then again they are the ones who elected such an idiot as mayor.
