So Ron Forman’s brilliant new idea for the mayor’s office is that he will have 4 deputy mayors, 2 black and 2 white . This, he claims, will help unite the city. Bullshit. First of all, how is adding 4 new executive positions going to help New Orleans get out from its looming bankruptcy ? Ron’s used to pulling down over half a million dollars per year . The past two years the Audubon Zoo has lost scads of money (this, all before Katrina). Now, he’s supposed to be the guy in favor of fiscal responsibility? Also, who’s black and who’s white? Is Tiger Woods black enough to hold one of the two black positions, or is he out of luck natural choice dog food ecause there’s no Thai deputy mayor? What about any representation of the Vietnamese part of New Orleans East? Would C. Ray Nagin or Marc Morial be black enough to be a black deputy mayor? You gonna have a Creole deputy mayor, too? Where do you draw the line , Mr. Forman? If part-time New Orleans resident Lenny Kravitz wanted to be a deputy mayor, would he have to be a white deputy mayor or a black deputy mayor? What utter fucking nonsense. I guess next, he’ll tell us how having 2 Blacks and 2 Whites will prove that he’s a uniter, not a divider . Having 4 deputy mayors will “ free him up to travel the nation to solicit aid for the city .” Bullshit. I want my mayor to be here , not soliciting aid in Jamaica , or Vegas, or whatever other boondoggle he wants to pull on my dime.

We live in complicated times with complex problems, challenges, and questions. Each topic has its proponents who would move it to the top of the list of current concerns. "If we could solve this one," they imply, "all others would soon fall in line." For instance, the doctor said that the reason my arm hurts is that I have tendinitis (aka: tennis elbow). So, he gave me a brace. After two or three hours I had a deep insight into how it works: It feels so good when you take it off. It is a change of focus. Where should our focus be? If we address one pivotal concern will all others pivot with it (say it fast and it will sound clever)? "All you need is love," we used to sing. "What the world needs now is love, sweet love; it's the only thing that there's just too little of." What about public morality? Personal morality? Will one lead to the other? Which crisis is most threatening and thus, most in need of our attention? AIDS? Terrorism? Moral decay in America? medical file leep disorders? The Diabetes epidemic/ Global Warming? And given that Christ is preeminent in all things, what does that imply in relation to our problems? Are we crisis driven or purpose driven? Most of the issues of our day are so complex, complicated, timely, and intense that we could start digging about anywhere and hit a mother-load of sewage. We live in a leech field of unwanted complications. And like an onion, we keep peeling back layers to find more.
