Notes From a Silent City.
Well, even my old Epinions colleague Laurence Simon is bugging on out.
Sensible man.
I expect things will be rough here.
I also expect that, out where we'll be, all will be well, and all manner of thing ... you get the drift.
In the interim, it is an instructive time.
A state in which even Governor Goodhair, although 'dumber'n ary painted post,' can make decisions, in advance of disaster.
A city and a county in which a Republican county executive and a grown-up Democrat as mayor can work together, and do, and don't whine to the Feds to act as the first responders that the Feds by law and custom are not.
A city in which the mayor is not so busy yelling, 'I am the MAYOR!' to, well, go about the business of mayoring. (Question: having not merely evacuated, but having bought a homestead in Dallas and enrolled his kids in DISD schools, is Ol' C. Ray the mayor of Nawlins anymore? Or has he abdicated, constructively resigned?)
A region in which the thin yellow line, bus upon bus, moved, rather than sat and swamped, and took evacuees towards safety.
None of this fits the Legacy Media's narrative, so it will be buried.
So be it. We'll get through, and then we'll go back to upsetting the MSM / Kossack / Moore is Less narrative, curing your cancers, fixing your hearts, defending your way of life, governing your country better than the darlings of the MSM ever did or could, gassing your cars, getting your food to your table and your cotton shirts to your tailors, and running your space program. We don't expect thanks for that, we know not to, so we don't expect sympathy or the MSM's crocodile tears here either.
We'll just see y'all on down the road, and we'll still be us, and if you had any nous, you'd be damned grateful we are.

Keep an eye on HTown Blogs for the next blogger gathering. It will be sooner rather than later.

So long as it doesn't conflict with (please God) the wild card and the post-season.
Glad you're well and chipper.
