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.

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.

Tomorrow is March 25th, "Tolkien Reading Day," because March 25th is the day when the Ring is destroyed in the book. I think I'm going to start the Hobbit tomorrow and read all four books this time.
The only bad part of the trilogy are the Frodo/Sam chapters in The Two Towers. They're repetitive, slow, and mostly about the weather and terrain. But most everything else is good. Weirdly, the Frodo-Sam chapters in Return of the King are exciting and action-packed and among the best in the trilogy. (Though the chapters with everyone else in Return of the King get pretty slow again. Mostly people talking about marching towards war, and then marching towards war.)

Reports: The A-10 Thunderbolt, better known as The Warthog, has been unleashed on Iran
It's a heavily armored (the pilot sits in a titanim bathtub) slow-and-low loitering plane with a massive minigun firing depleted uranium rounds. The capability it brings is the ability to just fly big circles over the country waiting for a target to present itself. This is a weapons platform for eliminating vehicles and personnel. Its first task might be strafing the seas, clearing out any remaining attack boats and minelayers.
Update: My ballpark estimate for a reasonable cost for a wildlife overpass (suitably padded to sate the thirst of Democrat grifters) was $15 million. Turns out, that was a good estimate. That's how much it cost Denver to build one.
