The Humor of It All: The Whiplash Nagin Files

Time to ask the cats what should be done about Whiplash Nagin and his nonsensical ravings about needing to keep New Orleans chocolate.

Would Willy Wonka approve? Methinks Wonka might have a problem with levee failures as the way to properly mix the chocolate. Waterfalls are not only more appropriate, but can be standardized for your purposes. Of course, if Nagin thinks he's Slugworth, anything is possible.

SondraK may be on to something, though I'm not sure whether she's properly submitted her EPA filings. Six Meat Buffet weighs in with a word or 100 on the marketing potential. Scott Ott also thinks of the marketing tie-ins. And Point Five thinks Mayor Nagin is looking to entice obese Americans to come on down to the Big Easy.

UPDATE:
Right Winged has some photoshops to share.

Getting more serious for a moment, quite a few folks are taking Nagin to task for his inane comments. Welcome to the party pals. I've been on this beat for quite some time and nothing quite beats watching Whiplash in action. Give him 24 hours and he'll flip flop faster than John Kerry on his Form 180s. Don Surber notes the loonieness outbreak in the last 24 hours. Others noting Nagin's nuttiness: MacStansbury, Tidbits and Treasures, Confederate Yankee, Independence Conservative, and Capital Region People (it's an Albany shoutout!)

UPDATE:
And just in case you want more background on Whiplash Nagin, here's my earlier postings where I used the term.
