We decided to not post the Ladder today in deference and concern for Japan.

Harry Shearer to launch Phase II in promotion of The Big Uneasy
Corps releases proposed plan for Plaquemines Parish levees
FEMA will start charging trailer dwellers $800 a month in May? Hola!
~Editilla tamps the lodge like a hungry beaver~ Really? You'd think that if these people could afford a nice apartment in New Orleans or a condo in Bay St. Louis they would right?
NOPD shuts down Iron Rail, Plan B and others in permit bust
~Alex Woodward, Gambit
~Editilla Crucifellas~ I would like to know if "all the artists upstairs" means the studio I had (where the poet Moose has since worked) at 511 Marigny for many years until the Kafkatrina Federal Flood of 8/29/05.
If so then New Orleans has been dealt a grievous blow indeed, a stab so deep that I am left with only 1 question: "Et tu, Mayor Mitch'mo?"
This is heinous on the scale of the Salem Witch Hunts or McCarthy era blacklists. For me such civic ass-hattery belongs in the covenants of Boca Raton or Baton Rouge ---not in this City of Living Metaphor, where a misunderestimation of Cliche' can get you killed and the 5th District will throw people in jail for marching on Goddamned Mardi Gras!
NOPD is reviewing arrests of 12 at Krewe of Eris parade Sunday night ~The Chicory
D.A. Cannizzaro fires back by releasing Judge White’s attendance record
~Matt Davis, The Lens
Grand Isle Louisiana: A Pedophile’s paradise? Maybe so long as ol’ Euris is around running interference~slabbed
Evaporating oil from BP spill likely posed a health threat, study says
~Mark Schleifstein
First installment of BP money for Louisiana tourism to be divided among all 64 parishes
Lawmakers push for extension of offshore drilling leases
State losing on natural gas tax exemption

Harry Shearer Hopes to Shame Press Practitioners~Levees.org
~Editilla Bra'tellas~I have tickets to attend this event --as well as:
Special Whistleblower Film Series Screening: The Big Uneasy.
Of course we shall keep Gentle'rillas posted!
Troubled waters~Todd Jorgenson
~Harry Shearer is tired of people referring to Hurricane Katrina as a natural disaster. More than five years after the storm led to catastrophic damage in New Orleans, Shearer calls such references little more than ignorant pandering.
No U.S. levees for Hurricane Carp
~Tom Henry
~Remember how New Orleans tried convincing the Corps it needed stronger levees for the city’s Third Ward before Hurricane Katrina hit? ’Nuff said.
~Editilla Notellas~ this just tickles me more than a pile of speckled Dachshunds. Here we witness the results of the hard-fought efforts by Levees.org --to Re-Frame the media narrative from Katrina Myth back into Federal Reality- Based Record-- spreading into the Mainstream View.
I mean really, we can't stress enough the intractability of journalists to break from the pack and write what they know.
~Special thanks to Ladder Illustrator and Levees.org supporter Da Masqued E'vinga! for our latest: "Pig'N'Boots!"

Old and Magnificent: 10 Top Live Oaks in Louisiana~Louisiana Life Magazine
~Selecting Louisiana’s Top 10 live oaks from the thousands of magnificent specimens of Quercus virginiana species across the state is a bit like choosing the Top 10 bowls of gumbo. It’s completely subjective. A few are obvious choices, with a reputation and familiarity that transcends personal taste. But then there are others that ask for inclusion because of their striking beauty, unusual shape or simply because of the circumstances of weather and light that helped me successfully translate onto film the unique personality of a specific tree. In the three decades that I’ve photographed Louisiana’s live oaks, almost everyone I speak with has a favorite tree, and I will recognize those when space allows. With this caveat, here is my selection of Louisiana’s Top 10 oaks. ~William Guion

Harry Shearer to Accuse Media of Mythmaking at National Press Club
~Shearer says he hopes to "enhance the feeling of shame among practitioners" in the press, whom he says have a "blindness to accuracy." He will argue that the nation's top editors and producers are "notoriously herd-oriented, cling to first-draft versions of news stories, and are reluctant to adjust news narratives when new facts come to light."

Mitch Landrieu, how do YOU spell... "COURTEOUS"??? ~cour·te·ous (kûrt-s) adj.

Special Thanks skooksie for the photograph above
~Editilla Trowtellas~ We watched and heard Mayor Mitch'mo and Chief Slurpy say that Tents and Furniture were not going to be allowed on the neutral ground. Chief Slurpy said that such real estate holdings will be moved.
