Valin Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 SHOCKING NEWS ALERT!!! Ray Nagin, former New Orleans mayor, indicted on 21 corruption charges 1/18/13 (AP) NEW ORLEANS - Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was indicted Friday on charges that he used his office for personal gain, accepting payoffs, free trips and gratuities from contractors while the city was struggling to recover from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. The charges against Nagin are the outgrowth of a City Hall corruption investigation that already has resulted in guilty pleas by two former city officials and two businessmen and a prison sentence for a former city vendor. The federal indictment accuses Nagin of accepting more than $160,000 in bribes and truckloads of free granite for his family business in exchange for promoting the interests of a local businessman who secured millions of dollars in city contract work after the 2005 hurricane. The businessman, Frank Fradella, pleaded guilty in June to bribery conspiracy and securities-fraud charges and has been cooperating with federal authorities. (Snip) Words cannot express my shock and surprise at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SrWoodchuck Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I found this letter from Nancy Reagan to John Hinckley, somewhere on the net, and thought you'd like to read it....very profound.... To: John Hinckley From: Mrs. Nancy Reagan My family and I wanted to drop you a short note to tell you how pleased we are with the great strides you are making in your recovery. In our country's spirit of understanding and forgiveness, we want you to know that we bear no grudge against you for shooting Ronnie. We are fully aware that mental stress and pain could have driven you to such an act of desperation. We're confident that you will soon make a complete recovery and return to your family to join the world again as a healthy and productive man. Best wishes, Nancy Reagan & Family P.S. While you have been incarcerated, Barack Obama has been banging Jodie Foster like a screen door in a tornado. You might want to look into that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, bubbles. Here are some of the absurd details from a local news report. (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SrWoodchuck Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 H/T: Stilton Jarlsberg via iOTW http://hopenchangecartoons.blogspot.com/2013/01/no-bang-for-buck.html Barack Obama, surrounded by kids, spoke to the American people on Wednesday to tell them about the many gun restrictions he's putting in place by Executive decree - and the larger ones he wants Congress to pass - in order to help non-aborted children live long enough to pay off the trillion-dollar debts he's running up. The president's actions were theoretically spurred by the many letters he receives from children, which is certainly credible as most of his policies appear to be directed by those who are totally unschooled in math, history, or the Constitution.
