I lived in NOLA for a few years in my younger days. I’m not a native, but I have relatives in Baton Rouge and a strong connection to the area that goes all the way back to my early childhood.  I love that place.  In 2007, I went back and had the opportunity to work on a Habitat for Humanity home in St. Bernards Parish.  I saw first hand what a devastated post-Katrina New Orleans looked like – and that was nearly 2 years after the storm.  The house we worked on was in a distressed area even before Katrina, and the street was about 10 feet underwater when the storm passed.

That’s why I get royally pissed when dicks like this continue to perpetuate zombie lies.  It’s especially maddening when said dick has no clue about the area or circumstance beyond the teevee, a cruise ship, and google earth.  I mean, really, it’s a level of wankery I’ve almost never seen before.

Diseased.
