Spin
The modern day media and politicians are know for their
"spin" on the facts......."Spin" is a nice new modern word
for "making a silk purse out of a sow's ear"......
Today's New Orleans is the closest thing to a "wild west"
town that we have in the United States.......It is "chaosville"....
Political infighting between City and State officials, lack of
tourism and infrastructure are preventing it's recovery......
The crime rate has soared......Last year alone there were
161 murders in the city.........
Now the spin.......The NO Police Department is saying that
this figure of 161 is the lowest in the last 30 years........
BUT THERE ARE HALF AS MANY PEOPLE LIVING IN
NEW ORLEANS TODAY......What was the pre-Katrina rate
322?......Pumps
