Ray Nagin and others are running around the south encouraging Katrina Survivors to vote.

Attention Katrina Survivors: Ray Nagin is not your mayor.

Now, why would I make such a statement? Well, the reasons are obvious but nobody seems to want to admit it let alone talk honestly about it.

Last year these people were moved from the Notorious N-I-N-E (the Ninth Ward) all over the United States. Most of them seemingly, went to Houston, Atlanta and Dallas.

Let me fire some bullets:

• In the game of who's your daddy, or who's The Mack, its not Ray Nagin, its actually Shirley Franklin (Atlanta or "The A.T.L." depending on what color you are), Laura Miller (Dallas) , Bill White (Houston) or whoever is the mayor of the city you are now living in.
• Many of you are not going back to New Orleans. The free places to stay in Dallas, Houston and Atlanta are much nicer than the free places to stay you had in New Orleans so, why leave? As long as the aid keeps flowing and the Civil Rights Industry keeps producing rhetoric and money everything will be ok.
• The homes have been destroyed, the landlords who collected the government money that subsidized or paid rent are going to lose their shirts because the insurance companies are not going to pay or at least not going to pay in a timely fashion. Additionally, a lot of the area has been declared toxic as well.
• The city of New Orleans is broke and will be for the forseeable future. Louisana is not that well off either. Their ability to provide the social services, programs and other potpourri required to prop up the Ninth Ward will also be limited.

So go ahead and vote, but vote for the new Democrats and activists who are putting food on the table. Vote for your local candidates in the cities you live in. You have a whole new set of local Democrats and activists to provide the federal, state and local aid and to keep it flowing. They even blame it all on racism to boot. Is that not great?

Life is back to normal right? Thought so.
