Deck the halls . . .

Police used chemical spray and stun guns today as dozens of protesters seeking to halt the demolition of 4,500 public housing units tried to force their way through an iron gate at City Hall. Pushing, fighting, mace being sprayed on the demonstrators, tasers pop-pop-popping like Christmas bulbs being dropped on the pavement.



With boughs of holly . . .

One woman was sprayed with chemicals and dragged from the gate. She was taken away on a stretcher by emergency workers. Before that, the woman was seen pouring water from a bottle into her eyes and weeping. Another woman said she was stunned by officers, and still had what appeared to be a Taser wire hanging from her shirt.

Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la . . .

Inside, a scuffle also occurred in the City Council chambers as the meeting opened. Several protesters were forced out, including a woman who was carried out. Protesters had planned to disrupt the City Council meeting, where members were expected to approve demolishing dozens of buildings -- a move that would open racial and class divisions.

‘Tis the season to be jolly . . .

The City Council vote is a critical moment in a protracted fight between the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and residents, activists and preservationists. HUD wants to demolish the buildings, most of them damaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, so developers can take advantage of tax credits and build new mixed-income neighborhoods.

Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la . . .

But critics say the plan will shrink the stock of cheap housing at a time when housing is scarce and drive poor blacks out of the city. They also say the buildings are, contrary to popular opinion, mostly handsome brick structures that will outlast anything HUD builds in their place.

Don we now our gay apparel . . .

A news release from the Coalition to Stop the Demolition, one of several groups organizing protesters, characterized the pending action as a rubber stamp at a sham meeting. “It is beyond callous, and can only be seen as malicious discrimination. It is an unabashed attempt to eliminate the black population of New Orleans," said Kali Akuno, an organizer with the group.

Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la . . .

I've been hearing clips about NOLA most of the day and it has been making my blood boil all over again hearing how this vote went down and how the 'mythical little people' were mistreated for just trying to get into the city council meeting. :mad:

25. N.O. own Senator votes with Chimpy most of the time. She's covered in oil.

So the root of it all is big bucks and redevelopment for big corps who will bring tons of money into the Gulf Coast. It couldn't be more putrid. The Dems are not helping blacks in this country enough, IMHO.

When so many residents of NOLA are displaced with no way to get back to join in the protests and those in my community are struggling.. Just tear down the housing units! This asshole need to watch Big Easy to Big Empty, the film that Greg Palast produced.

My blood is beginning to boil! :mad:

26. I look at the voting records for reps in my area.

They vote the right way. They seem to be OK. But they don't do anything, ya know what I mean. Just go with the flow. Just put in a vote that usually is good, but don't make any waives. Except for Feinstein of course, our own version of Lieberman the Traitor. And nobody stands up to Pelosi.

I feel really bad for D's who live in red states.

Naomi Klein was right, Shock Doctrine, have a economic or disaster and make money off the desperation of others, New Orleans they want to re write that area with high price housing and totally change the dynamic of that beautiful and diverse city.

To shove their cronies in there and make it another republican stronghold. Really sickening.

46. And lethal in many cases.
The taser things scares the bejeebus out of me. Zodiak has a heart condition. ONE shock could potentially kill him.

What I don't understand is why they even allow tasers. Cattle prods are equivalent to tasers and they never gave those top cops. They finally made them illegal, but go ahead and electricute people from a distance. Sickening!! :puke:

This is life under BushCo at it's finest. It's unacceptable! They don't care if someone may have a heart condition. It's truly barbaric.

It was at a restaurant in Davis called "Seasons". Have you heard of it? (I'd never been to Davis before. By it on 80, but not in the town itself.)

77. Noon to 8

The not quite day shift not quite 2nd shift ! LOL

If my office mate quits, I'm going for day shift, I think. But it is so nice to get back under the blankees at o dark thirty and not have to rise and shine at normal hours!!! I'm not sure if I can. I wanted to find a job in SF, but I'd have to add another couple hours on the train, muni, etc. Oh well.

So you like your new job, this is true???

93. We share the same work-family values...
I hate getting up early. I hate dressing up. I hate long commutes.

My boss (family-owned business) is completely flexible about when I show up (which is why I report late to this thread). Unless we're meeting with vendors, I can wear a bathrobe for all he cares. And I'm now gassing up the bug every 10 days instead of every 4.

Money isn't everything. I could make more working in the City, but I wouldn't have much time for a life.

Oh, and the work is really interesting. That never hurts...

Hi to your bunch too. (We ought to have a database of Truthseeker pets so old farts like moi can remember who belongs to whom.) But how could I forget Sesame!!!

I have some adorable plush turquoise hippopotamus slippers that would compliment any ensemble...

141. Indeed. Sesame is an unforgettable character.

:rofl:

Everyone else is fine. Scarlett took her turn going to the "parlor" for nail trim. OMG she comes home and struts around like Zza Zza, like her brother. It just cracks me up.

Oh, you have the wet food capers too eh? I swear they are putting a powerful cat drug in those cans!!!

:-)

Oh, your slippers sound fabulous.

147. How well I know that Gabor strut!
We see it after a bath. They scream bloody murder whilst being shampooed, then parade proudly around the house with a "lookee lookee" attitude.

I love animals.

73. Hey catnapper, usually others beat me to it and thus I frequently
forget. :dunce:

I hope that he/she is okay, I just heard a ruckus under the house. The middle child went out to feed him/her today and the youngest had a friend over to spend the night last night (the reason that I wasn't here last night), and I think that he/she was hiding from the noise when they were outside. I don't blame him/her, I was trying to find a place to hide by the time the friend went home today! :hi: :hug:

152. Hey, I'm fine.
Just trying to recover from the City Coucil Chaos. I figured they would approve the demolition, but the unanimous decision really floored me. It seems that the City Council only represents some of the New Orleans citizens.

I can't believe that the demolition was approved, but unanimously really go to me. The City Council may not be considering the displaced and the lure of big money may be more attractive? :shrug: As I'm trying to put a semi-pretty face on all of this ugliness.

:hi: and big :hug: to the people of NOLA who will be devastated by this action.

Who cares what happens to all those "werkers"?

During our trip to NO in May, they were telling us how dependent NO was on the hospitality industry, which is notoriously low-paying. They said most of the hotel/restaurant/transportation workers who were displaced now couldn't afford to come back. Rents had tripled.

I hate *.

destroyed or affected by the floods are being turned away at gunpoint !!!! They are not allowed back into houses that are perfectly habitable. Did you see Greg Palast's documentary of last year. I just cry when I think of this stuff.

Mr. c and I have been going to NO regularly from the beginning of our relationship. It's very special to us. We loved it the way it was, because it was the way it was.

*co has taken our jobs, our pensions, our ability to travel, our freedoms and our dreams.

Nothing these clowns can do will get Pelosi or any of congress to impeach them. It's truly a crime and dereliction of their duties not to remove them.

81. Remember When George HW Bush & Bill Clinton raised all that money for the
Tsunami victims, How much did they raise for the victims of Katrina & Rita? I'll bet Zip!! & now this week Bill Clinton comes out & says He & Bush 41 will be Goodwill ambassadors to the world to try & repair the damage that Bush 43 has done to the US reputation after Hillary gets elected. Then Bush 41 comes out & says this- http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=2495482
"In a statement sent to CNN Tuesday afternoon, former President Bush’s chief of staff Jean Becker said that he “wholeheartedly supports the President of the United States, including his foreign policy. He has never discussed an ‘around-the-world-mission’ with either former President Bill Clinton or Sen. Clinton, nor does he think such a mission is warranted since he is proud of the role America continues to play around the world as the beacon of hope for freedom and democracy." Well Bill It looks like you've been Punked by George HW Bush!!.

It's spooky to me. If Katrina weren't a natural disaster, I'd have to save without a doubt it was Pissypants' fault!! Well, it was these bastards fault because they knew the levies would break some day. But he has taken advantage of every bad thing that's happened and turn it around to help him and his NeoCon plans.

in the top of the world position no matter what color one happens to be . Any land worth money that comes apart can end up the same way , like here where I live , one earthquake and this building falls I lose everything and would never be able to afford the going rate of rent , then what .

149. that par t of the world, do you think this fratboy has any idea
about geography?? he never stepped out of the US until he was pResident, he has no clue about anyone's culture, he is just a spoiled Yalie, and they all support each other, it's a fraternity, brothers to the end. If you research how many Yalies were pResident it is all about their secret society, they all stick up for each other.

153. It's so creepy.
I never had money to speak of, but I spent the first bucks I earned on international travel. We're citizens of the world, after all.

That's something about * that spoke volumes. He had every advantage and could have gone anywhere on the planet he wanted to...but he never showed the slightest interest in the people and cultures around him. Can you imagine the WASTE - in any area of endeavor - and yet this incurious boob has the balls to feel qualified to run for President of the US. Oh, that's right...he didn't have to feel qualified - it was his god-given right as a Skull and Boner, or whatever the hell those clowns call themselves.

I was about to send out a posse for you! I'm not certain that the callers are freepers, per se, but they are assholes who don't give a shit about what is happening to the people of NOLA! :hi: :hug:

148. No need for apologies, I wasn't here last night!
I hope that your friend and baby are doing well, although I can't imagine a c-section - ouch! Though come to think of it I felt like someone had driven through my crotch with a Mack truck after my young'uns! Too much info. I suppose. :hi: :hug:

Yes, these assholes relating to Katrina are the worst of the worst, and I'm more than fucking disgusted by it all! More than :mad: and heartsick.

145.  Those trailers have got to be worse than these buildings
at least the buildings were not toxic boxes of death , they had windows and electric and room to move around let alone they were not next to smoke stacks .

179. No need to apologize.
You know what's really bad, I'm not sure if our fellow truthseeker Greeby was even alive when you and I were rocking out to Journey. It weirds me out when I think there are 20-somethings who only know Journey from the Sopranos finale.
