ScrappleFace is a satirical blog by Scott Ott. Normally you get hilarious conservative writing. Today, in a response to a note received by an editor, he took on the media and big government in some non-satirical writing and gives a speech that should be coming from the White House.

Hurricane's aren't the only problem

In New Orleans, many think that hurricanes cause the most damage. In New Orleans, Mayor Ray Nagin may actually be trying to be the number one problem.

The mayor of New Orleans turned down an offer for the city to make $5 million on the removal of vehicles wrecked by Hurricane Katrina and instead opted for plan that would have cost the city $23 million.

When you make Snopes because of your lack of common sense, you really have made it.

Note: The residents of New Orleans, whose first mistake is still living under sea level in Hurricaneville, voted this clown in again.

Thanks Rob.
