Our nation’s Gulf Coast Region continues to face serious and ongoing problems in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. This Town Hall style Conference will focus on solutions to these vexing policy issues. Transformation of the human spirit, however, is a key ingredient, because the destruction of this spirit is at the heart of the great breakdown witnessed during and following in the wake of these natural disasters. Our conference will seek to outline options and identify solutions that could serve as a model for rebuilding, not only the Gulf Coast, but also for transforming America’s inner cities and urban areas.

1. Grant Storm is, I believe, the closet case preacher from Marrero
(across the river from here) who sends cameras into gay bars to record the depravity going on within. He tries to make a big stink about the Southern Decadence festival that takes place around Labor Day every year. If I have my man right he will probably froth at the mouth over sodomy and its potential as a meteorological catalyst (ie. N.O. asked for it).
And if I do have the right man, he's a "New Orleans" activist like I am a plate of Fettucine.

3. We can only guess how he watches those videos he makes.
With one hand on the remote and the other otherwise occupied--and *not* with a plate of fettucine. ;)

2. Transformation of the human spirit...
Because well paying jobs, access to healthcare, a healthy environment, equality, tolerance, and open, transparent democratic government won't do jack for anyone. :eyes:

5. Isn't it infuriating to think they'd would waste good money on this
kind of masturbation? Although maybe it's better if wingers spent money on this shit rather than on plots to corrupt the electoral system or pack the courts with Scalias.
