Get off your asses
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin told local radio station WWL-AM exactly what he expected the federal government to do in response to Hurricane Katrina’s wrath. Clearly a public official under enormous pressure to deliver to his constituents demands, I saw an elected official finally do what you “NEVER” see them do. Demand, demand, demand!

But with the new OS X (Tiger) I took advantage of having a truly “clean” system by not installing OS 9. Now if I could just quit “spawn...
