Southern Atlantis
It pays to pay attention, something our political class desperately needs to learn. In this case I refer to paying attention to local blogs. Some die off, new ones pop up, and strange things happen out in Internet Land ™. Every once in a while something will make you smile. Bitter smiles are common in New Orleans these days.
This evening I stumbled across a NOLA blog I was heretofore unaware of: Southern Atlantis. Fortunately the blogger who pens it, Droudy, uses Creative Commons to license her work. That means that I can show you an example of why I like her blog already. (Tip for the newbies: if you use CC licensed work leave a comment with a link on the original so the creator kows you’re using it. Its just good netiquette.) So anyway, here is a lovely little post called simply:
What If…?
1. they would just do it f*#king right from the beginning?
2. now that we’ve found them, we’d let them be, and let their homes, environment be also, for a change?
3. after this they find that aliens are among us?!?
4. this IS the better mouse?!? EEEK!
5. Carol sings, “I’m so glad we had this time together,” as a eulogy?
6. a new industry is created - virtual travel agencies?
7. this is the first sign of how corporations will duck out of their pension responsibilities - “the market ate it”?
…and…
8. in a few years, we hear about Gene’s wild night with Condoleeza?

It’s also a good plan to leave a link to the actual blog.
