Well what can you really say about these two? Thursday, Jun 12 2008

Yes the outrage continue to roll right along. As I walked the pups this morning around the quarter, I did my normal Times Pic purchase and settled down with a cup of chickory coffee and a cigarette. Normally, I pour into the sports section first, I am a man ya know. Well somedays I am. Other days Im a ghost but I’m getting off track. I passed on the sports page this morning because of this story.

That’s right, Our Mayor, the dis-honarable C Ray Nagin has been taking his wifey out to lunch on the taxpayer’s dime. On their anniversary. Isn’t that sweet. Happy Anniversary Ray and Mrs. Ray!!!! From me, since I think my tax dollars paid for your appetizer. Or your dessert. One of the two since I am single, I only give a lil of my hard earned money to City Hall.

I’m in charge of my companies credit card. It stays in my pocket unless I need to purchase something for work. Not for my own grumbling stomach. I would be out of a job if I decided to take someone out to lunch that was my wife or significant other. Shouldn’t the same be done for “public servants”. Hahahaha, I’m sorry, this story is so sickening that I can’t control my laughter. My oh my what fools the citizens of New Orleans are. Trust me, I’m including myself in that number.

We run a “liner” on the radio station of Mayor Nagin saying…” You’ve been hoodwinked and bamboozled”. Yes C Ray, we sure have. Every single day you show up to work is another hoodwinked and bamboozled day in NOLA.

I’ve got a ton going on at the radio station, moving studios and stuff and didn’t really pay attention to the rest of the news today. Until WIST Radio’s afternoon host Eric Asher started his show today. The LA State legislators passed a bill two days ago giving themselves a rather HUGE raise. It took them 3 minutes to pass the hat and boost their pay. Yet we can’t get them to do anything else.

I am against a pay raise for legislators. I know the BASE pay is very low. But I also know that they receive 143.00 per day for expenses. And they also receive a 6000$ use as you need it account. Plus free lodging while the legislature is in session. Plus they have control of their own business/careers etc. This is not a full time job frankly and while it may seem like it to them, it’s not. The last state in this country that should be paying it’s legislature 95k a year is Louisiana.

Frankly though, I didn’t think this would be a big deal. You know why? Because I thought Gov Bobby Jindal would have the balls to veto the bill. Well guess what all you Joe and Janes….Gov Jindal has stated that he will not veto this pay raise. The reason is because some legislators “threatened” to not support Gov. Jindal’s agenda, telling him in essence if you veto this bill we will not support any legislation you propose.

Politics as usual in Louisiana. Geezz Bobby, I thought you might stay out of the muck at least through your first year. If I didn’t love my job and city so much I would bail on all of you bloodsuckers. All of you are frauds. While the Louisiana coastline rots away, you pieces of shit vote yourself a raise. People all over south Lousiana are suffering and you lying freaking cockroaches are only worried about your own pocketbook. Hate is a horrible word but right now I hate them all. And I will never vote for any of you thieves again. Not that any of you jokers have gotten a vote from me anyway.

New Orleans is Doomed Wednesday, May 28 2008

It’s doomed week here on the Frazier Blog. Yesterday was a little something something about America’s need for a News Network that is “black” focused. Just ridiculous. But there is more foolishness going on in America’s favorite dumping ground, NOLA.

The metro area suffered a great loss last week because of the lack of jerk-offs doing their job. NOPD officer Tommy Felix died while driving to work over a week ago. It was around 3:30 in the morning and Officer Felix was driving on the Claiborne Avenue drawbridge when his vehicle plunged off the bridge into the Industrial Canal, killing Officer Felix.

When I refer to the “jerk-offs” not doing their job, it might be an insult to normal everyday jerk-offs. Here is my problem or one of them anyway. The bridge and its mechanics have been broken for over ten years. The bridge is designed to have a steel barrier come down to block lanes while the drawbridge goes up. The bridge also has a “second” barrier that was not lowered due to operator error. Obviously the barrier that has been inoperable for 10 years is one issue while the operator error is another. Well to most people it is. But not the great feeble worthless state of Louisiana. The state is already spinning this as “well it’s all the operator’s fault”. Uhhh no it is not. The states failure to have this problem corrected, for over ten years now, is yet another example of the fraud that elected officials have brought upon the good hardworking people of New Orleans and Louisiana. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the bridge has not had lights since Katrina and the State DOT (Dept of Transportation) has done nothing about that either.

As a side note, has anyone heard Mayor Nagin asking for someone, anyone, to get their ass down here and fix the bridge? Nah, people dying in New Orleans keeps the brand out there ya know.

Speaking of his worthlessness, he is the real reason I think New Orleans is doomed. Why you ask? It’s the things that are not spoken about that make me feel this way. Here are the big three from the last week:

The City Council wants to change the way Sewage and Water Board members do their jobs. The council feels that on a board as important as this one, should have engineers and others who deal with the type of issues that we are confronting. You know, like water leaks throughout the city that are sending good clean water basically to waste because the system is crumbling. You know little things like that. Well the Mayor is basically president of the S&W board. And Mayor Nagin does not want any changes on the board. Basically he wants to use it for what it is used currently. A politically appointed board that does nothing but waste taxpayer funds while the system crumbles. Here’s an example for you: Rev. Ben Edwards is a member of the S&W Board. Yes he is a Pastor. He also paid for billboards in Houston, Atlanta, Jackson and other cities with high numbers of displaced residents, asking for New Orleanians to come on home and vote for Mayor Nagin in the 06 election. I’m sure though that the Rev knows all about sewage and water. No need for an engineer, someone, who is actually qualified, when we’ve got the Reverend to pray over our broken water system.

The riverfront of New Orleans is one of the city’s untapped jewels. Rarely is there a spot on the river that is in use for the public. Wharves, wasted city buildings etc basically uses the riverfront currently. Well use is not the right word. They are just there; the riverfront in New Orleans is basically wasted at this point. Many local organizations have worked on developing the riverfront after Katrina. All with the idea of doing it right, not huge condos on the river etc, just use for the public. Parks, bikeways etc…Some real beauty in a beautiful city. Oh wait, Mayor Nagin is against it, meaning no money for this idea has landed in his wallet yet. So with the Mayor against it, it’s done. Finished. Until the Mayor figures out how he can make RayRay a little extra spending money.

I am not going to go to deep into the other deal. Basically it deals with the filthy disgusting NOLA airport. The state has made overtures to take the airport off the city’s hands. It’s a very wise deal in my opinion which would need to be tweaked etc to work for all parties (NOLA, State and Kenner) but it can and should be done. The airport is also a haven for politically connected losers (i.e. Pampy Barre’) to get their city contracts that are twice what any other city would pay to skim money off the taxpayers again. Yeah you guessed it; the Mayor is against this move as well.

No explanations for his ass-holiness on any of these. Just a misspelled, mistyped one pager from his 175,000$ a year press secretary. Yes folks, as long as this ass is Mayor of New Orleans, we are doomed

FBI Agent Jefferson Friday, Jun 8 2007

Well finally. Not that little dust-up about someone local being corrupt. Resign, who’s gonna replace him blah blah blah. I’m done with that loser. Was actually done with him oh about 20 years ago when he was scamming the city and the state with his “legitimate” businesses. I’m talking about the honorable explanation that half the city has been waiting for. The other half thought and still thinks the “man” is out the get good ole Dollar Bill.I’m too lazy to go get the audio for ya. I’m sure the station will put the video/audio up on the website at some point. But here’s that honorable explanation we’ve all been waiting for:

“Did I bribe a foreign official? Absolutely not. The $90,000 was the FBI’s money. The FBI gave it to me as part of their plan that I would give it to the Nigerian Vice President. But I did not do that”.

Yes Bill we know the 90k was the FBI’s. And we know you didn’t give it to anyone because it was in your freezer.

The sad part of all of this is that some people will still believe him. When Dollar Bill ends up in the federal pen for maybe 150 or 200 years, some members of the black community will still think he’s been setup. This “honorable explanation” does nothing but play into the impression that Bill has helped perpetuate that the white man is out to ruin the black man. He clearly has no problem abusing power but to continue to try and keep the black community in his back pocket says more about the man than any indictment ever could.

I think the good Congressman is onto something here. Honorable explanations for almost any circumstance! Here are a couple, feel free to add your own.

Those bodies are not mine officer, Coroner Frank Minyard ask me to hold them for him.

That women is not a mistress honey, the FBI asked me to fuck her

That was not my marijuana. A blind man with glaucoma asked me to keep it for him.

I did not shoot that man; he walked in front of my loaded gun and asked me to shoot him.

I didn’t take that copper pipe out of your home; the dog spoke to me in the middle of the night and said that I could have it. For free. By tearing it out of your newly plastered walls.

The FBI gave me this machete to go chop up some wood and those people just got in the way of the tree.

Lovely Tameka Meter Maid Friday, Oct 6 2006

When you read about kats and kat-ettes who go off the very deep end and end up like Bugs Bunny in a pot with Elmer Fudd cutting up the veggies to make some stew, you wonder just what the hell would push someone that far. My ability to wade thru crap is very high so I get off easy in some respects. But some folks just can’t handle the foolishness anymore.

Living in the Quarter since the Russian Whore visited, I know the rules and I choose to abide by them. Some people choose not to and it depends on the level of rule breaking for me to care or not. You wanna go murder some folks? Yeah I will want you in jail forever. Wanna park in a space and not pay a buck for parking? I really don’t care but you better watch out for some of New Orleans finest, the Meter Maids. Now personally, I think the city has more pressing needs than paying someone (or in some cases 3, yes 3 people) to drive around and put tickets on windows but I trust Mayor Nagin 100% (please note sarcasm). And just why does it take Three People to drive around and put tickets on people’s cars? And shouldn’t they be walking? I mean the three I saw each weighed about 300 pounds each, wouldn’t it be better for them if they walked? Lose some of those tires around your waist honey.

So I’m walking the dog, ( don’t ask- I’m pet-sitting for a sick friend) when I see what could best be described as a “tiff”. Some women, parked on the street, was attempting to get in her vehicle and leave the parking space. As she is climbing into her vehicle, a city van speeds up and pulls next to her vehicle, blocking her in. Out jumps one of the three meter maids driving around in a air-conditioned vehicle, slaps a ticket on the women’s window and says loud enough so about 5 of us could hear, ” You’ve been ticketed- Bitch”. The woman in her vehicle was clearly upset. Can’t really blame her, I don’t know any women who likes to be called a bitch. So the woman sticks her head out the window and proceeds to call the Meter Maid (s) every name in the book.

Should have really ended right there but this being New Orleans, it was only the beginning. The meter maid had rolled her fat ass into the van by now but the other 2 lovely meter maids hadn’t had their turn. So they pull up a little, block the woman in and roll down their windows and the catfight has begun. The words fat, worthless, stupid and ignorant are the ones I could make out easily.

Damn I forgot to tell you that it was about 9 pm. Yes 9 pm. The woman actually gets out of the passenger side of her car and it’s officially a rumble. She’s screaming from one side of the car, the meter maids from the street. The dog I’m walking is sitting on his hind legs, like he’s watching TV or something. The homeless man sleeping in an abandoned car rolls out of the back seat to see what’s going on. Then the spit hits the fan.

Yeah it’s not a typo. The woman who has been ticketed decides to give the meter maids a personal shower. She spits on all three of them. I think in the face but I couldn’t be sure. The woman then is smart. She bolts, running down Governor Nicholls in pumps into the darkness of the French Market. The meter maids are way to fat (not PHAT) to chase so they just call the police.

I wanted to stay around and see what happened. So I did. When the police arrived, they asked if I had seen the whole thing and so I told them what I saw. The meter maids at this point were going to try and get this woman in real trouble. One of them told the police that the woman had a knife and that she lunged at her with it. Which was just complete fraud. So the police ask what I saw and I told them the truth. For those who might want to make some racial crap out of this, all parties involved were black.

The point of this is- If city workers, who are paid by city residents and visitors, cannot act more professionally, then how in the world are we ever going to overcome the craziness that is New Orleans right now? Was the woman right in spitting on the meter maids? Of course not. That being said, all those three fools had to do was drive off and let the woman pay her ticket. We can’t expect city government to relieve our stress but damn, can’t they just get out of the freaking way?

As a follow up, I’ve been looking for the woman and spotted her yesterday evening. Her car was towed, the police did not come looking for her but they (meaning the meter maids and the towing part of the city) really stuck it too her. Car was towed to the main lot; the meter maids followed the tow truck, talked to their buddies in the building and got them to impound it for three days at the secondary tow yard. She says the fees and other crap was worth it. Maybe it is for her but I wonder how many others out there have had enough?
