They write letters

Shelley!

Note: Yes, I misspelled Shelley. Par for the course around here. The error has been corrected.

Update: I'd say the kids are all in agreement here.

Keep circulating this.

Updater: Bush ate at Dooky Chase tonight.

At the eclectic table, Bush was flanked by Norman Francis, chairman of Gov. Kathleen Blanco's Louisiana Recovery Authority, and by the Rev. Fred Luter. On the other side of Luter was LRA member Kim Boyle and next to her, Saints quarterback Drew Brees

Couldn't they have sent Fujita? At full speed perhaps?

Updaterer: The fucking T-P rats just can't help themselves.

The 66-year-old restaurant is known for its large collection of African-American art, none of which was touched when looters ravaged the establishment immediately after Katrina. Ironically, one of the smaller pieces is of a pensive Huey P. Long, the former Louisiana governor and senator seen as a symbol of the state's reputation for graft and corruption often cited as a reason to limit the flow of federal aid to Louisiana since the storm.

You know that could just as easily have read,

"Huey P. Long, the former Louisiana governor and senator seen as a symbol of the state's tradition of populist government that actually responded to the needs of the poor and built and maintained infrastructure largely at the expense of the extractive industries exploiting the state's natural resources who are now so near and dear the current President's heart."

Instead they just couldn't help but feed the local self-hatred. Expect wild applause and chuckles tomorrow from the Yuppie Left.

Updaterest: Midura's letter has been DKosed! Keep it circulating.
