Goodbye blue roofs
Looking out our upstairs window this morning, I noted only one blue roof remaining (well, two if you look another direction) in our Irish Channel neighborhood. It seems somewhat allegorical of the reconstruction progress being made in much of our city. While some areas have so much more damage, much of Mid-City and some other spots are getting much closer to normal — at least compared to how icky things were six months ago.
Don’t misconstrue this as saying New Orleans doesn’t still need lots of help. We do and we will for a long time to come. With 145 square miles of destruction around us, it’s going to be years before we can even approach the world we knew before Katrina. But we’re grateful for anything, and one more solid roof is a serious deal.
Speaking of allegory….
Note the hardhat and the rolled-up sleeves on our president.
…..six months later.
At least he stopped for lunch at a locally-owned place in the Ninth Ward. Good for him. But I also note in this article that the owners of the place are pretty ardent Bush supporters. I wonder if the reception would have been the same if he’d dropped in at your average Popeye’s.

Who believes anything this man says?
I have not trusted him yet.
All these town hall meetings are staged, the participants are specifically
chosen not to ask him any relevant questions.
He believes he was chosen by God to be the Seventh Avenging
Angel whose job is to start Armageddon by keeping the middle east
in constant turmoil cos’ that’s where Armageddon is supposed to occur.
This is the real story; this is what the man actually belives.
“You’re either with them or against them” in his context means
You are either “Saved” or you aren’t if you are not saved
you are indispensible to the population as being irrelevant in the war of Armageddon.
This came from the Bush Man himself.

The average Popeye’s isn’t open - flooded or not.
Harahan (Citrus) (no flooding, probably employee shortage) - closed
Carrollton (and Earhart) (flooded) - closed
Carrollton (Riverbend) (no flooding, probably employee shortage) - closed
I thought the one on St. Charles, near Office Depot, had opened back up. Maybe it was just an illusion.
Laurie where do you come up with this crap?
There’s an open Popeye’s in St. Charles Parish - got it all,
corn, mashed potatoes, redbeans, etc.
It was a relevant source: it’s from an interview with the president
himself with a christian magazine.
Also, try Playboy.
Those are only two sources out of hundreds. Not crap.
The president is mental - he believes he has two and a half years
to create the proper conditions for Armageddon to began
because he is the chosen one.
Here’s one, how did an alcoholic cocaine head hide these pertinent
facts from the doctors when he ran for president the first time?

Yeah — I had lunch at the Popeye’s on St. Charles just yesterday. Puuuuuh-fect.
Slow, but welcome signs of improvement…disappearing blue tarps, and a re-emerging Popeye’s(one of my comfort food favorites). Folks could sell some of their ‘Katrina Tarps’ on E-bay…I don’t think you’ll see Gee-Dubya in a Popeye’s, which is unfortunate, cuz they MIGHT have been able to land the contract to CATER the big ‘Armageddon Party’, and ya can’t have a great Armageddon party without Jambalaya, and pop-corn chicken…so, I guess they’ll just hafta cancel the WHOLE Armageddon thing…Maybe an ‘over-the-line tourney(TBK knows about ‘OTL’),maybe arm-wrestlin’, a tug-o-war…the Armageddon seems pretty un-necessary…doesn’t it..;
Haven’t ‘ya heard?
They made it all up to scare is into it.
