Katrina: The perfect PR Campaign

Just start this chant and pass it on, make it a meme, sing it on the bus in the morning:“THE TERRORISTS BOMBED THE LEVEES”

Say it over and over again until you believe it. Maybe then the Feds will hear it too….

If you’re wondering why a native Californian is so passionate about New Orleans, it’s because of my passion for jazz and my deep family roots in Mississippi and Louisiana. And because of blog entries like Tim’s recent…just look at your newspaper’s US section tomorrow morning. I’ll betcha there’s not one single article about a) Plans to redesign and rebuild the levees to sustain a Cat5 hurricane or b) updates on the cleanup and beginnings of the Gulfport/Biloxi/New Orleans resuscitation.

But damn, they’re awfully fast when it comes to Florida, or LA, or San Francisco.

(PS — Tim, use her initials or a nickname. “The Wife” does sound a bit arcane….)

Thanks for blogging about New Orleans. Unfortunately, we who grew up watching television have a very short attention span. I once heard a song refer to it this way: “we feed our children with a cathode ray nipple… the only wet nurse who would raise a cripple.” And this is critical becasue… because… I’ll have to get back to you when I remember.
Peace,
Tim

P.S. Thanks for the marital advice, too.
