Via Blackfive we learn that New Orleans Mayor Ray "Peter Principle" Nagin has taken a break from blaming others for his failures to anyone in earshot to propose sending his employees to Vegas for a vacation. I guess he feels that since the Governor has finally gotten around to deploying the National Guard, and more troops are arriving daily thanks to the President, his guys deserve a break... on the taxpayer dime. Unfortunately, we have not been able to reach Governor Blanco for comment. She was last seen several days ago blubbering at a press conference. Perhaps when the NOPD returns from hiatus, they can issue an APB for the Governor. In response to a questioner that pointed out that maybe now is not the time to take the first responders off the street, the Mayor ended the interview by repeatedly shouting, "Where are the friggin' buses!"
P.S. In all seriousness, to those first responders who stayed at their posts and did their jobs despite working for incompetents, I salute you!
