It's extremely stupid.  By the time I caught his comments on CNN, he already
elaborated further about his New Orleans qua "Chocolate City" comments.  I
think that he's neither explained nor retracted the hurricane and war
connection.  It must be a miracle, an absolute miracle.

So, if God punishes New Orleans in such old Testament fashion, should Nagin
be making a sacrifice at the temple?

MLK day has been just about the worst ever for other politictians blathering
beyond the expectations of the public.  Hillary Clinton compared the White
House to a plantation.  Although her statement was applauded by the audience,
the comparison only exposes her penchant for politicizing a day set aside for
commemoration.  It strikes me as rude:  Attacking the White House could wait
a day, couldn't it?

Furthermore, Bush himself reportedly wrapped his MLK address around Lincon,
not King.  Eh, I suppose that the future of the MLK holiday will be to alter
the football season so that the Super Bowel can be played on it.
