Jeudi

This is the last post~Ashley Morris: the blog
Editilla weeps...Fortuna is a Cruel Reaper. Oh Noble Mon! What a loss!
Bless his funny fuckmook'n heart and his family and all who got a chance to know our Fearless King Blogger of da'Loyal Royal Smack Down.

Ashley, Liptrap, and Oyster were the very first NOLA Bloggers to encourage me early on and say "Cool, Dude! Go for it!"
The New Orleans News Ladder is directly inspired by Ashley Morris, Avatar of Sinn Féin

~"Proud to call it home, indeed."
~
"Fuck you Chicago Tribune. We are NEW ORLEANS. SINN FEIN."
~"We're New Fucking Orleans. We're still here."
~"If I do nothing else in my miserable career, if I can make somebody care about us, then its worth it. Because that's all that matters."
~"You're either for Cat 5 levees, or you're for the terrorists."
~"One day, one fine day, I will have a Zulu coconut. In the meantime, I have a Leviathan stuffed dragon. Well. OK. My cute little 1 1/2 year old daughter has a Leviathan stuffed dragon. But she lets me play with it."

"He (Raymond Seed) talks about the supposed cover-up. Well, our people live here in New Orleans ... We don't stand behind our work. We live behind our work."~Maj. Gen. Don Riley, the corps' director of civil works.
Editorilla begs somebody to differ~Excuse my lyin'eyes but I did indeed live and stand behind "their work" and it would appear that they sure as hell ran like nutria from a dogfight--Evacuated--from behind "their work"---in some cases even before "their work" failed too! And not that it matters but Don Riley doesn't live in New Orleans or behind any levees.
He did however have a hand in building a lot of them. Not that it matters...jus'sayin...
Here is his office address:

441 G Street, NW
Washington, DC 20314
