After watching days of the horror that is the devestation wrought by Hurricane Katrina and the Bush Administration’s absolute and deadly failure to respond to the catastrophe, it was a bit of tonic to read Star Tribune sports columnist Jim Souhan’s ode to New Orleans as a sports town, sad though it is now that the city is, literally, dead.
The piece includes this wonderful line:
"Only in New Orleans could men persuade women to lift their shirts in exchange for beads, the most efficient use of trinkets since Europeans stole Manhattan."
