President Jimmy Carter shows the lack of progress after Katrina. He makes me proud to be a baptist!

Last time I checked, the command NOT to bear false witness is still one of the Ten Commandments. I’m no Old Testament scholar, but I think that’s one of the Old Testament commands that still applies (Hope the crawfish prohibition doesn’t!).

Anyway, I just received an email that was critical of Obama in one of those ridiculous claims. I went to Snopes.com, copied the link that explained that the claim was false and sent it back to the sender. I should have also quoted the Scripture Exodus 20:16 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.”

I didn’t. I didn’t want to look like a jerk. But then again, wouldn’t somebody who claims to be a Christian that spreads false information about someone be considered a jerk? I’m not sure. But according to Exodus 20:16, someone who spreads lies about someone else is considered a sinner. Before you send crap to your email list (whether it’s about McCain, Obama, Hillary or W), please check it out, otherwise you are sinning against God. As a theologian, I know that God don’t like that!

This just in:

Dan Packer and Jackie Clarkson and the members of the Excellence in Recovery Host Committee announce that Michael Brown, former head of FEMA, will present the award to Mayor Nagin!

For you out-of-towners, here’s a definition of “crawfishing.”

“A number of people listed as members of the “Excellence in Recovery Host Committee, ” which is giving Nagin the award, said they didn’t know the mayor was being feted.”

Seems the folks listed on the last post didn’t really know what they were doing! Seems kind of strange that such prominent people could be fooled like this doesn’t it?

Well, anyway, it’s good keep the brand out there isn’t it C Ray?

We had to do something about that Mandeville mayor getting all that press coverage didn’t we?

Still…Congratulations are in order for the folks listed below. You make us so proud!

Wow! The members of the Excellence in Recovery Host Committee will present Ray Nagin on August 22 The Award of Distinction for Recovery, Courage and Leadership!

I’d like to personally thank all the committee members for their excellent judgment in choosing Mayor Ray Nagin for this prestigious and fitting award!

I’m sure that my fellow bloggers would love to join me!

If you’d like to read more about our distinguished mayor’s award check out Adrastos, Eli, Schroeder, Mark, Jeffrey, and Loki.

New Orleans bloggers are so excited that we will probably attend this great event!

Speaking of currupt politicians:

According to WDSU, an ethics complaint has been filed against Democrat/Republican state Treasurer John Kennedy.

Seems that Mandeville mayor Eddie Price is not just a drunk-driving, above-the-law, knucklehead! The T-P reported today that he’s also one corrupt Son of a Gun!

Thanks Eddie! Now all those northshore folks who like to slam New Orleans for our corrupt politicians have to keep quiet! I’m wondering if Eddie will get re-elected?

BTW–all this started as an investigation into possible corruption of the Christmas toy fund controlled by Police Chief Tom Buell. Holy Crap! Either Santa or Jesus is going to be pissed! Possibly both!

John Edwards is a jerk.

David Bonior, Edwards’ campaign manager, told the Associated Press on Friday that he was disappointed and angry after hearing about Edwards’ confession.

“Thousands of friends of the senators and his supporters have put their faith and confidence in him and he’s let him down,” said Bonior. “They’ve been betrayed by his action.”

What he said.

I usually don’t watch the Olympics any way. This year I’m taking it a bit farther. I’m not only ticked that such a horrible country (but who are we to point fingers?) was picked to host the Olympics, I’m also very disappointed in the USA Basketball team’s position on China. What a bunch of wimps! Given the recent ESPY award given to Tommie Smith and John Carlos (shown above) I would have thought that our team would be a bit more socially conscious. I know, I’m a dreamer.

So in light of that, I’m not drinking Heineken or Coke during the Olympics. I’m also not going to buy a GM auto or eat at McDonald’s.

Can somebody tell me if this is real or a joke?
