Eugene David<br>...The One-Minute Pundit

Posted 8:21 AM by Gene

Here is why Gov. Babbler and Mayor Noggin are flooded over: as I've said before, most mu-ni-CI-pal authority roles are largely ceremonial, going to town meetings and lavish banquets and generally making an amiable fool of yourself; but when something HAPPENS and the people need LEADERSHIP, these handshakers have nothing to fall back on, so they all but have a nervous breakdown like Gov. Babbler, or they take two days to decide maybe looting's not such a good thing, like Mayor Noggin. Given that transparent ectoplasm in the mansion on Pennsylvania Ave. it's a wonder America doesn't fall apart -- or isn't sacked TOTALLY.

P. S. I looked up Mayor Noggin's last name in Google Images and the first entry in was this. I must bookmark it. (But beware the pop-ups.)

P. P. S. Tearing myself away from this beauty I find Mayor Noggin was a NEW DEM OF THE WEEK:

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin unveiled a plan last fall to fully reinvent the city's Office of Workforce Development. With newfound purpose and well-defined goals, the new program -- renamed Job 1 -- has since become a top priority of the mayor's office. It aims to help workers better market themselves, respond to the need of small businesses, and develop a strong, stable, and educated workforce for the future. Nagin is confident that Job 1 will create new opportunities not only for individuals and businesses, but ultimately, for the entire local economy.

"We are offering new strategic solutions on how to deal with and tackle old problems." Nagin said. "This is a comprehensive approach to strengthening our workforce."

Comprehensive approach, all right.
