lay off

Honestly, I’ve been keeping my own private journal during this, and most of it has ended up on the blog—in fact 99% of it has ended up on the blog… but some of it is too angry, too political, too—as Rush Limbaugh would say, “left wing kook.” If this was a blog only for my friends, I could probably assume that my viewpoint was shared and appreciated. Actually, I shouldn’t say that. This summer I discovered that my bestest friend in the world—my younger cousin Beth (hi sweetheart)—is a card-carrying republican. Oh how heartbreaking. And my heart hopes that she has changed her mind in light of this. But anyway, I don’t want to alienate people who I have invited to this list…I can’t sit on this, though. If you are busy blaming the local government, please listen to a resident’s point of view and stop. When I say local, I mean the mayor. My jury is still out on the governor. I promise you, I am LOOKING for the bastard who dropped the ball. I am looking hard. But so far, it ain’t Nagin, folks. So far, he has been the voice of reason and the voice of the people of New Orleans. I could be wrong, I could be drastically misled. But while he isn’t exactly our Guiliani, he’s the closest best thing that we have.
