Uh, Ace? It's old. On your blog. Last night.

Heh.

For those who missed this before:

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

Does anyone else think he'd been drinking--lots--before that speech?
Posted by Crash at 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"?

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.

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.

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.

New Orleans was a "chocolate city"? Well, I guess that does explain all the reported cannibalism at the Superdome and Convention Center.

Do you know the way to Chocolate City?

Just take the Hershey Highway past Donut Junction and you are there!

I'm glad that I don't get the feeling that Nagin is just some racepimpy douchebag.

Chocolate City has about 7 months, and we must suspect that global warming has not subsided. Ocean conditions are not likely to be any better, from the standpoint of climatological trends, anyway. What has Nagin done to prepare? Presuming Nagin is still mayor, a dismal prospect indeed, he should enter a conciliatory phase along about June. Bet those bus engines are locked up tight.

With Ace its about output, baby, not 'reading.'

Shame on Nagin.

Doesn't he know Washington DC is Chocolate City?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/local/longterm/library/dc/dc6898/funk.htm

Although with gentrification, I guess DC is now Chocolate with Vanilla chunks spread throughout.

"With Ace its about output, baby, not 'reading.'"

Maybe, but the comment "I guess that 'content of his character' stuff is all so passe now," was worth a second post. Also, the very gaucheness of the "chocolate city" comment raises this performance above Nagin's normal stupidity. I LOVED your link to "C Ray's Chocolate City." http://www.nolafugees.com/archive/issue%202/chocolatecity.html

As a first step, Nagin today announced New Orleans shall henceforth be known as "Hershey, Lousiana."

So let it be written, so let it be done.

Does this make Nagin Willie Wonka?

Hillary! Says Republicans Running House of Rep. like a Slave Plantation.

Hat Tip Cap. Quarters

I can't help but to think how racist this is. Imagine if we had gov of mississippi standing up and saying how they were going to make the lowlands vanilla again?

ASW

Is he trying to scare away reconstruction money?

Whis is this moron still mayor?

Because they delayed the election. That's why Nagin is scrambling to get "his constituents" back to town.
Hint to Ray: Use the buses!

I think I foresee the Republican 2008 campaign slogan:

"It's Vanilla Time in America"

Last I heard, he lived in Dallas.

Whis is this moron still mayor?

Because he is a black Democrat. Had he been a white Republican, or Democrat for that matter, he would have been axed, there would have been Congressional hearings and he would have been run out of town. That is the same reason he gets away with spewing ignorant babble like "chocolate New Orleans".

Nagin should get his wish. Every white person who lives and works in N.O. should move and find jobs elsewhere. Let him have his chocolate city.

Nagin should wish for an M & M city.
Melts in your mouth with no chocolate mess.

Based on his history, I think Sugar Daddy or Good & Plenty is his favorite candy, even though he's nuttier than a Payday.

"I have a Dream"
Ray, I don't think it means what you think it means.

For Nagin it's "I have a wet dream"

For Nagin it's "I have a wet dream"

What, amphibious school buses?

For a nuanced view of Nagin's remarks see:

It's Ray Nagin, not Roy. Roy was Bruce Willis' pseudonym in Die Hard.

Congratulations Ace. You're famous in OKC. They quoted your comment on Nagin on a segment on the local news that covers blogs.

WHO IS THIS MAYOR NIGAN?
