Nagin is doing it again. Sticking his big ole foot in his big ole mouth.
"Let me tell you something. You ought to go to Philly and you will appreciate how clean New Orleans is,".
Someone really needs to save this man from his mouth. And what does that mean anyway? At this point, New Orleans is probably the most blighted city in the country and he calls it clean? Blighted properties are not ususally clean. The new trash service has been keeping the French Quarter pretty clean but that's about it. Its like only cleaning your living room and keaving the rest a mess and then going to someone else's place to complain how their living room isn't as clean as your own. What's wrong with that guy?

Wow, the infamously narrow Huey P. Long Bridge is going to be getting wider soon. Well if you consider 2012 soon, cause that's when it'll be completed. This bridge was completed in 1935 when there weren't as many cars around. There are two 9 foot lanes on each side with the railway in the middle. And I can't imagine driving on that bridge without fear of death. Sometimes when possible, people just drive in the middle of the two lanes. They are widening it 50 feet on each side to make it a 6 lane hwy. I wonder if we'll still feel it shaking when the train is passing. Scary stuff. I once broke down on it, I was freaking out to say the least. The person behind me was kind enough to push me until I was safely off this crazily narrow, shoulderless death trap. I wonder if they planned shoulder lanes too. One can dream.

Today the Rude Pundit compares the presidential candidate's statements on the tragedy at Virginia Tech. Just go read it.

Kurt Vonnegut died yesterday. So it goes.

Ooooo, Hoffmania has a video of O'Reilly getting all up in a hissy over the immigration issue with Geraldo Rivera. Its a case where two girls died in a accident caused by an illegal immigrant driving while intoxicated.
Bill seems to be blaming the fact that he is illegal immigrant not the fact that he was driving while drunk. Being the son of a Puerto Rican immigrant, Geraldo sees O'Reilly as being a racist and O'Reilly goes red and steam comes out of his ears. Good stuff.

"Do you know who I am?" This is too funny. Councilwoman Cynthia Morrell was stopped by a state trooper after being clocked at 100 mph and driving on the shoulder in a city vehicle with a flashing light. Funny enough, she says to her defense that she wasn't using the blue flashing light while on the shoulder. I know, whew! Then she says she thought she was Orleans Parish when she was near the Causeway exit which is clearly part of Metairie in Jefferson Parish. I'm glad she knows the city that she represents. Just read the story, its hilarious.
