I'm Sick of the Talking Heads Questioning the need for Mardi Gras...

[Peter Frank]

Did anyone question the need for Wall Street to re-open after 911???

1. I was in New Orleans last night.

I'll be going back over there Monday for a luncheon that happens every year over there and then I'll be back in Biloxi for Fat Tuesday to celebrate with my friends here. We have to get on with our lives down here and Carnival is a big part of our lives.

2. They're only going to question it if they think a Dem is

within a hundred miles of it.

5. Yep ...

Like the Scott King and Wellstone funerals ... Freakin nazis, anything that isn't "theirs" has to be hated ...

3. Not just the talking heads...

...there was a thread here doing the same damn thing!

I say...party on NOLA! Winds, water, an incompetent government, should not prevent you from being NOLA!

From the murky waters, NOLA will rise again!!

4. I can't figure out why they think that Mardi Gras, which has been

celebrated in this country for over 300 years, would or should be cancelled. It is human nature to bounce back after a disaster, whether it be personal or national, and to reclaim their lives and their heritage. I say PARTY ON!

6. see, that's why I don't watch them, they make my head hurt

why the f*** is it even up for discussion? That's up to New Orleans, period. If they're not gonna miss a Mardis Gras well then MORE POWER TO THEM

7. Fuck them

The bottom line is, it brings money in to a city that has been neglected by the feds.
