Suit filed over Cayne Miceli death at New Orleans jail
~The father of a New Orleans woman who died after being put in restraints in a jail psychiatric unit is suing Sheriff Marlin Gusman and several of his staffers.
The federal suit filed Thursday says 43-year-old Cayne Miceli had a history of asthma, panic attacks and depression but was denied adequate medical care after she arrived at the jail in January 2009.
"It's hard here, don't get me wrong...
and even the people doing well are apt to be busted broke,
but I think the lack of money is like a great equalizer that existed
even before the storm and it's more true than ever now:
A LOT of respect is paid
and a LOT of value is placed
on what you can DO
rather than what you can buy...
and everything good that comes back is celebrated...
You can dance with your whole body here

and everyone approves and from babies to old folks,
if they can stand up they will dance with you :)"


Farewell to the Decade of Fear ~Michael Barone
~Editilla Co'tellas~ We weren't going to mess with this pie of Katrina Shorthand Horse'doo. But alas, our unsinkable Sandy Rosenthal always shows up on our side of the Failed Levees, to mix up the comments section, get these trolls all riled and onto thinking of our Engineering Failures 8/29, with Documentation and Links and steady Fight-Back.

Dear Mr. Bibb (rocketman),
The science of building levees is not rocket science, it's geotechnical science, and any college student in engineering 101 knows how to build levees on peat.
Geaux Sandy! Hey, come join the partay here too!

~Editilla Noletllas~We hung nutria fur coats on the Ladder Nov 22, from an article in the Daily Comet about: “Do you know who this is? This is the Nutria Man from south Louisiana.”
It will be nice to see how PETA embraces such fashionable efforts to help save our wetlands.
