Ray Nagin and all his friends and cronies are completely evil and are making me think twice about moving back to New Orleans.
On second thought, I will resist intimidation.
Always check postings at the National Security Archive, and explore old headlines.
And it is the weekend, so we will sing. Our song is Up Above My Head, with rock star Sister Rosetta Tharpe.
She is not young in this video. Look what good shape she is in, and check out that guitar.
Axé.

Thank you for linking to my post at Think New Orleans. If the story disgusts you, then we would like you to move back to New Orleans and work for change. A lot of citizens are working for change.
Have a look at SquanderedHeritage.com where Karen Gadbois and Sarah Lewis organize efforts to document all of the houses that the city attempts to demolish. They notify the owners and they get the call when someone loses their house.
Good for Karen Gadbois and Sarah Lewis! And yes, I need to move back to N.O.
I can’t believe the murder rate there. I am trying to remember the last time there was a murder here. I think it was a year ago or so. We would have a hundred or more murders a year on this island if our murder rate were as high as New Orleans’.
So are you part of the New Orleans diaspora?
No, I moved up to the country before Katrina. But I want to move back.
