Oyster caught it, and delivered quite the smackdown. Allow me to pile on a bit more.
Yes, there was a fight in New Orleans last night that led to a gunshot. Nobody was killed. But I find it interesting that Chad Rogers of The Dead Pelican would be so alarmist about the prospects of a turnaround in New Orleans. Oyster links to several of Chad's Rants in this post, one of which states:
... I must say that had I been able to vote in the election, [Ray Nagin] would have had my vote.
...And I have no real praise for Ray Nagin. However, I believe that the Landrieu dynasty is something that all Louisianians should work together to put a stop to. They have been a powerful force in bringing New Orleans to its knees, along with the the state of Louisiana.
Dang, Chad, why are you not supporting your buddy C. Ray anymore? Is it because you've finally realized that C. Ray actually doesn't give a shit about the rising crime rate?
But more importantly, why so alarmed? After all, it's a new day in Louisiana. Your man Governor PBJ is in the Governor's chair, and all will be well with the Gret State in short order. He did have this to say in his Inauguration Speech:
"Wherever you are today hearing my voice...to my fellow Louisianians...Make Louisiana's rebirth your own priority."
Chad, can't you kill off the Dead Pelican, and rename it something more optimistic? Like the Reborn Pelican or something? After all, we've got a war against corruption and incompetence, y'all. Never mind that Governor PBJ's campaign didn't report some $100,000 in in-kind donations from the LA GOP for three months.
The DP informs us that "Senator David Vitter has scheduled a 5pm news conference in Metairie today where he is expected to finally speak publicly about his admitted ties to a Washington, D.C. prostitution ring". In light of this news, I've collected a long review of facts and claims made in the past week about L'Affaire Vitter.
