NEW ORLEANS STEALS OUR DONATIONS RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR NOSES

You're going to love this one. The totally bankrupt city defiantly announced today that they are offering five-day vacations - and even trips to Las Vegas - to the police, firefighters and city emergency workers and their families; on our fucking dime. Our donations are going straight into the pockets of the politicians of Louisiana.

Reading the "blogosphere" (God how I hate that word) one cannot escape the fact that we "get it" and the MSM does not. All of you who travel though my humble portal read at least ten to fifteen others as well. All of us, tens of thousands of us, know the failure in New Orleans is one of colossal corruption and the inevitable accompanying incompetence that goes with it. The buck passing goes from the Board of Education members who deserted their posts through the Mayor and the governor and rests finally in Senator Landrieu's corrupt purse who, as a patriotic political criminal from Louisiana, has threatened to punch the President in the face if he dares criticize the criminal syndicates that run both the state of Louisiana and the city of New Orleans. Everybody must blame the Feds. Must, or they will have to face the music themselves.

And the music they fear facing is a funeral dirge for thousands killed by the criminals who man the helm of that political refuse dump of a state. Criminals can be counted on to steal money, steal money, and pretend they actually do some work. Prostitution is work, ain't it? Keeping those stupid women in line is work, ain't it; it's like pimps have a right to live too. And you don't know what work is until you gun some old bastard down for getting out of line and then have to pay off every asshole in town to keep things quiet.

I think we all get it. Now.

But the MSM is on message, which means attack Bush and blame him at all costs. Why? Well the locals are all Democrats and therefore must be left Liberals. Sure, like the Mafia thugs were patriots during the war, when in fact the Federal government paid off Mafia leaders to keep the ports open and prevent their unions from striking in exchange for carte blanche to the crime syndicates. The current MSM message is even carried by Tim Russert on the oh so influential Meet the Press as was on display yesterday when he lobbed set ups to the political class of Louisiana as if they were actually honest politicians. The MSM hopes to guide us into the canyon of their choosing where they hope to kill all blame for the local pols in Mississippi and Louisiana and shift it to Bush.

Shhh, don’t talk about the worst school system in America. Don’t mention the highest murder rate in the country; the shocking stat that only one out of four people accused of murder is ever prosecuted in New Orleans; the fact that the police department is so corrupt that the Federal government had to take it over a few years ago. And as if to underscore the “stand by your man” ethos of the criminal class the totally bankrupt city defiantly announced today that they are offering five-day vacations - and even trips to Las Vegas - to the police, firefighters and city emergency workers and their families; on our fucking dime. Our donations are going straight into the pockets of the politicians of Louisiana.

Today's a holiday. Have a good one. BTW POWER LINE has a terrific piece today.
