Was going to sleep, but am too wound-up.
I chat, therefore I am.
I would kill for a new The Wire episode.
NOLA could get a new mayor. Or not.
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

Gus the drug war is a disgrace. I hope there is a provable flaw in the case against your farmer friend.

Thanks, Typo. I agree, the "drug-war" is all about suppression and oppression. Also? It is about "chilling effect". I confess that the jack-boots have stomped on my willingness to say more.

Thanks for the link, Laura. i knew there were elections today, but did not make the obvious leap that there would therefore be election returns.

I remember the (recent) mayor of NOLA as being outraged against FEMA, which puts him down in my book of Good Guys. There was also a thing about one NOLA mayorial candidate being into campaigning-by-photoshop.
That is all I've got for NOLA.

Nagin was a Democrat for Bush in 2004, started criticizing the Feds after he got screwed by Bush along with his city. He has continued to play a role in some of the post Katrina horrors that are forcing poor people out of the city. Still a lesser evil compared to Landrieu, so it is good news that he won.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
It's not Dylan, but a fine start.
Also, A thousand or so protesters block Bush's motorcade.
Interesting times.

O, for the days of city-states, when Kings were measured in counties, rather than continents.

That city-state thing worked out so well for Carthage.
