Kinda takes the joy out of the Saints' big win...

Frequent contributor, Pea Green, sends along this sad story (not really good news during Black History Month). I haven't verified Cowdad's figures as to the actual financial damage that will be done to the Crescent City, but I'm sure it will be "significant."

In spite of the fantastic Super Bowl win for the Saints, tragedy strikes again. Yet, another heartbreak for New Orleans!

Below is one reason why the economy of New Orleans will likely never completely recover!

It seems like every couple of days New Orleans loses one of its treasured entrepreneurs.

These people are the hope for the city and we must call a halt to this unfortunate trend if we ever expect to see a vibrant city again.

Entrepreneur? It took me a couple of minutes to get it, but imagine,

NINE welfare recipients collecting $1500 each equals $13,500 each month! That’s $162,000 each year!!!!!

Now add food stamps, free medical, and free school lunches, on and on and on.

Now that to me is a real Entrepreneur.

  1. In case anyone doubts the authenticity of the obit, I received it about a month ago and checked it out. I could not believe it was real. It was.
    From NOPD:
    Allen also has previous arrests, and in May of 2003 he was arrested on two (2) counts of attempted murder and one count of First Degree Murder. In December and October of 1999, he was arrested on two separate First Degree Murder cases.

  2. Jim, thanks for your input, and for the further details on this young binissman. I never doubted the authenticity of the obit, because I have seen some (though not as bizarre) similar to it locally.

    I knew that it was (obviously) from a previous Feb. 7, but the point Pea Green made continues to be spot-on. Thanks again.

  4. Well fshafer, I'm not in charge of reservations in either Heaven, nor hell. But if I was the desk clerk down there, I know which corner I'd assign 'em to.
