Ray Nagin is a moron.

He still cannot keep jis mouth shut.


His comment about 'the hole' in New York should make him feel wonderful,
If the US government can't fill up a hole what makes him think they are going to rebuild his city.

I do remember the 94 earthquake.

We got our arses handed to us and our freeway system sucked (still does)
for years.....and if you have a car but no road, especially in CA you really SUCK.

----------------------------


If you look at the WTC why should the government pay to clean it up?

It was a private building, private planes hit it.

So why should we worry about your sorry arse Mr. Mayor?

Sue mother Nature....

Have spke lee toss over some of the coin he's making on the city's sorrow.
Call the Rev. Al or Jesse.....they really care...


People of New Orleans. You voted him in. You deal with him!

[Cinder & Smoke]

Ray Nagin is a moron.

People of New Orleans:

You voted him (back) in.
You deal with him!

Food for Thought for some of the rest of us ...
'specially the folks who Don't VOTE!

In keeping with comments I've made about the current President, calling a politician a Moron is not the most constructive comment in the world. If we're calling a politician a moron, how intelligent can the people who voted him into office be?

Personally, I wouldn't be complaining about waiting for federal money to clean up the city. I'd be more concerned with motivating the people who live in the city to clean it up themselves.

Need a job? Here's a shovel/hammer/saw/ (I'm sure you get the idea).

Need bulldozers/operators? Have the national guard set up training for the people who need jobs, using NG equipment to train on, and solve two problems at the same time.

There are any number of creative, positive solutions to problems. Whining and moaning that Washington isn't doing enough isn't one of them.

I agree with both you men , but LH they tried to get the locals to clean up. It seems more Illeagel mexiacans were more intrested in the jobs than the locals. Had freinds down there working there butts off to help and the locals for the most part sat on there arses whinning about not getting help or where to go to get there welfare checks. I really have to agree mostly with Richard on thois one.
Gee just realised I was the first woman to post sorry if I cut in on a guy thread>

If there's work to be had, and people are still on welfare, there's a simple solution. Are you able bodied? Here's a hammer, go to work. You don't want to work? No check. If the people who live there don't want to physically rebuild it, fine, don't. It's just a hole in the ground that will eventually be filled in by the Gulf of Mexico anyway.

A note to Mr. Nagin. Most problems (not all, but most) involving motivation and inspiration can be fixed by a motivated leader prepared to set the standard. People follow their leaders. If the Mayor is whining about Washington DC not helping (NOT Washington DC's job to fix NO, IMHO, it's NO's job to fix NO) what does he expect the people in New Orleans to do? People follow their leaders. Whining begets whining. Do NCOs in the military complain? Yes, but we do it between ourselves and behind closed doors. Whine to your staff, whine to the bottle on the desk, whine to your dog, NEVER whine to the press and expect to be an effective leader.

[Laura's Babies]

The Baton Rouge TV stations have carried this story and had a list of the bloopers that have come out of his mouth (so far) just a few days ago. He REALLY needs to keep his mouth SHUT!

What Nagin was also saying was they HAVE to contact all the owners of all that peoperty to get permission to go in and clean up that property.. WHY can't it be declared a health hazzard and be cleaned up WITHOUT notifying anybody? They know it is a mess and needs cleaning up, no matter where they are in the USA, give them "X" number of days to do it, then go in and do it for them..

I agree with you about a strong leader. How about leading from the top? Doesn't president Bush and his administration have the authority to declare New Orleans a National Diaster and Disgrace. Can't he and FEMA begin the training on Bulldozer and Backhoes that you speak of. Can't he "lead" by example and get the ball rolling - "and others will follow".

I have lots of concerns about leadership and lack of and they begin with the Commander & Chief. One of my biggest? OIL!!! O-I-L, Oil... we don't need it. we could be OIL INDEPENDENT in 5 years (or less) if we took a hard stance and a LEADERSHIP ROLE... and just said good bye to the billions still to made yet in OIL investments. MANY, MANY of our international problems would just "fade away" if suddenly we "no longer needed" OIL from the Middle East.
