Prospector.I artist,
Yawning Dave McKenzie,
practices inspired un.pro.ductive.ness
~Doug MacCash

"If some people don't think it's art, that's OK, " McKenzie said. "Being an artist is a way of looking at the world."

~Editilla Grotellas~Well I'll be Damned! I ♥ !
OK'ville, gee, I thought that being human was a way of looking at the world, as opposed to seeing the world as a rodent or a pretty butterfly from the grill of a speeding truck. But to me Art speaks for itself, as da'world expressing itself...like, On Purpose.
Hell, any dumb asshole can shit in the woods, but without Artists how would we ever know it really happened? Jus'sayin...
We gonna give Mr. MacCash a pass here since he is new and from some other place (and after re-reading this article a few times we sense his tongue-biting good manners at not ridiculing this punk'artist into the ground)(and frankly we also very much enjoy his articles) (and we don't expect to find MacCash sitting in one of those Boulder Colorado Type sushi clubs taking over Mid City.)(Prenthetically speaking:)
Buuuut...we still do not know how much this Fakir in the article was paid to "take in" the city?
That is the story we need to see: how much money rich philanthropists have paid this bitch (and these other bitches) to "be" here in the City That Care Forgot and Californicating Artbiz Carpetbaggers Salivate to Defile?
Prospector.I, seems to me, is taking on a script to be more about showing the Big Art Land (BAL) how much vacant real estate we have in which to invest, rather than becoming an expression of our City's very real cultural information...
--or worse: that we are a Zoo full of Captured Animals.
It does not matter to me as much that this shitload of Prospector money comes from outside sources to be paid to outside sources. What bothers me is that these Art Industry people would not have a reason to live (or a penny to their forkin'names)
--without Big Art Money (BAM) --while New Orleans Artists have always existed (and thrived) despite that, if not To Spite That!
It bothers Editilla to no end to watch my friends just trying to get their Art back together and survive --the whole time continuing to make their Art-- while these Contemporary Art Cocks (CACs) Now Have Something To Crow About. Bobble Head My Ass!
I don't know... this whole thing is starting to look really patsy... like shopping for artsy roadkill.
I mean... that goddamn Ark in the 9th ward doesn't even float. And, for the record, I'd be willing to bet that Dave McKenzie is Not a New Orleans artist any more than I expect Mayor Nogin to actually get the Shock Doctrine.

Katrina flooding judgment hearing; lawsuit sues engineering firm
~Ian Kramar WWL
The City of New Orleans was devastated by flood wall failures at the 17^th Street Canal, London Avenue Canal, Orleans Avenue Canal, and Industrial Canal. Despite admitting that it was negligent in designing and constructing the flood walls that failed, the United States Corps of Engineers has steadfastly refused to accept liability for the harm they caused by relying upon a statutory immunity created in The Flood Control Act of 1928.
Joe Bruno continues to hold the Corps accountable for the devastation of New Orleans through the appellate courts.

The first word of each line, however, spelt out a message about the leader of the country’s military government: “Power Crazy Senior General Than Shwe”. Mr Saw Wai was charged with harming “public tranquillity”.

~After finally getting off the ground a few years ago, the lock replacement faced another setback when U.S. District Judge Eldon Fallon ordered the corps to stop work on the project in late 2006. Fallon said the corps would have to further study the project's environmental effects after community and environmental groups sued, saying the agency did not fully assess the toxicity of materials dredged during construction.

Seventy years ago, on November 9–10, 1938, the Nazis staged vicious pogroms—state sanctioned, anti-Jewish riots—against the Jewish community of Germany.
These came to be known as Kristallnacht
Now commonly translated as “Night of Broken Glass”, it will forever remain a reference to the untold numbers of broken windows of synagogues, Jewish-owned stores, community centers, and homes plundered and destroyed during the pogroms.

~To establish the 8/29 Investigation Team to examine the events beginning on August 29, 2005, with respect to the failure of the flood protection system in response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assemble.

“Right after Katrina, things changed and there was a sense of urgency,” La. Sen. David Vitter said.
“It was the middle of a crisis and decisions were being made. Now that sense of urgency is gone and we’re back to the same old Corps speed.”

“We live and die by what the Corps of Engineers does or doesn’t do, literally,” said John Breaux, a Democrat who represented Louisiana in the U.S. Senate for 18 years.
