MLK Special: We Shall Overcome

Mayor Ray Nagin told a crowd gathered at City Hall on Monday for a march honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. that New Orleans will be "chocolate" again.

"It's the way God wants it to be."

Swi-i-i-ng loooow.....

UPDATE: Max provides a link to Nagin's speech.

Its pretty awful. First his batshit imaginary "conversation with Dr. King," then "This city will be chocolate at the end of the day."

Certainly, that is what Dr. King would have wanted. How did that speech go again? "I have a dream...that one day some grandstanding bigot will define a city by the color of its inhabitants."

Yeah, that's right. Just nod and go along with it.

UPDATE II: Superb spoof found by Cliff S.

“We’re talking caramel levees to withstand a category five. You know, the kind they put around apples and sell on the street at Mardi Gras. That shit’ll break your teeth. It sure as hell can take a storm surge.What part of pure imagination don’t you understand?”

Nagin then told to "get on the bus." Unfortunately, they were all still underwater.

Dr. King must be spinning in his grave.

Posted by: BrewFan on January 16, 2006 06:13 PM

Does anyone else think he'd been drinking--lots--before that speech?

Posted by: Crash on January 16, 2006 06:57 PM

a King statue and memorial was cleaned up and landscaped in advance

Done so with spare cash Nagin made working part time as the President of Iran.

By the way, on this day of remembrance, how many other elected leaders are referring to African Americans as "chocolate"?

Posted by: Biff Boff on January 16, 2006 07:12 PM

That rich guy you been seein', must have let you down. Welcome back baby, to the Brother Side of Town.

Doot doo-doo wah, shooby doo, doo-wah.

Posted by: Joe Mama on January 16, 2006 07:42 PM

Does anyone else feel that Ace left too much to the imagination on this one?

C'mon Ace!

With remarks such as this...this 'chocolate' comment, Nagin's just begging for a one-on-one interview.

Since you left me if you see me in another town
Looking like I'm having fun
Although it may be dry, it's not really fly
'Cause Big Easy's the permanent one

So take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my fears

Outside I'm masquerading
Inside my hope is fading
I'm just a clown since my future drowned
My smile is my make up
I wear since my break-up with you

Baby, take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my fears

More and more, if I had the money I think I would emigrate to either Australia or New Zealand. Anywhere with a rational immigration policy, the rule of law, and English heritage.
The evil dwarves from the "Last Battle" are loose and raising too much havoc here in the USA.

Nagin has done more today to damage morale in this poor city than one would have thought humanly possible.

Posted by BrewFan at January 16, 2006 06:13 PM

Not according to Nagin, in his speech he said King looked down from heaven and saw how the people could not get food and were met by soldiers and attack dogs and he was not happy.

New Orleans can forget about my ever visiting them. I wouldn't want my filthy tourist dollars to disturb their nice chocolate city, after all.

Holy Wonka Bars, that last update is worth a bump to the top. Pure gold, baby.

Posted by: Sortelli on January 17, 2006 12:14 AM

Haha look at those ignorant morons in the middle east - oh wait...

that. happened. right. here.

In America.

Just goes to show that we should never take democracy or common sense for granted, because there are stupid people everywhere who are always on the lookout for chances to piss it all away in the name of feel-good rhetoric and soapy drama.

Yikes.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Podcast: CBD and Sefton talk Orban losing, but is it the end of Hungary? The Irish start a brawl, but is it enough, Pope Leo wades into politics, Trump calls Iran's bluff and blockades Hormuz, Artemis II! Swallwell is scum, and more!
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite

I wouldn't click on it, it's not interesting, it's just stupid clickslop. I just want to share my annoyance with you.
Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.
Classic Rock Mystery Click
This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. Given that, I'll give you the hint that it's by the Red Rocker.
And I guess you think you've got it made
Oh, but then, you never were afraid
Of anything that you've left behind
Oh, but it's alright with me now
'Cause I'll get back up somehow
And with a little luck, yes, I'm bound to win

Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
