Forget Sacrificing Chocolate...
NEW ORLEANS -- While Christians across the world give up chocolate, alcohol and coffee for Lent, Mayor Ray Nagin of New Orleans announced today he made the painful decision to give up the entire City of New Orleans for 40 days or so.[via catholicnews.org]
"I love New Orleans and I love thinking about this city," said Nagin. "So, as an act of penance, for the next 40 days, I am going to take my family back to our other home in Dallas, and not think about New Orleans at all. It will be painful. This will be a lot like the act of penance I performed last year during Hurricane Katrina."
As part of his Lenten fast, Nagin said he will not do any economic development brainstorming, or meet with governmental or business officials. After a day of participating in Fat Tuesday parades, his last order of business Tuesday night was making copies of his business plan, "The Chocolate Milk Analogy," at a 24-hour Kinko's on Canal Street. {read the rest here}

I have to say, what kind of idiot (not you, Ray Nagin) gives up the city he is mayor of for Lent? *rolling eyes*
ReplyDeleteI stumbled across your blog by accident (I searched Androsoff) and kind of read some of what you had on here.
I thought I'd leave a note as this is one of those "we may be related...???" situations and I found your blog interesting to read. :)
