by the Way . . .

Be the first in your neighborhood to order this T-shirt or a bumper sticker. C. Ray Nagin, NO Hizzoner, said in his Martin Luther King day speech "I don't care what people are saying Uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day, you can't have New Orleans no other way. This city will be a majority African-American city. It's the way God wants it to be."

Later he explained that he wasn't being divisive: "How do you make chocolate? You take dark chocolate, you mix it with white milk, and it becomes a delicious drink. That is the chocolate I am talking about," Apparently the chocolate milk mayor offended some folks, and he allowed as how he should be more sensitive. He actually should have requested anonyminity, as he apparently was not authorized to speak for God.
