Imagine my surprise when I stumbled across Ray Nagin on Twitter. It only took a moment to realize that someone is having a blast satirizing the Mayor. I know its low hanging fruit, especially as he rages and squirms in the face of the NOAH scandal that is mushrooming beneath him. Still, this is New Orleans and we love good satire.
Twitter’s 140 character limit produces some interesting short form content, and “RayNagin” is a really amusing example of this. With the biting comedy of the New Orleans Levee as an easy local yardstick for comparison it fits in nicely.
Here are a few of the gems:

Go check it out, even if you are not on twitter just looking at the archive grows more and more amusing as he tweets. (And if you are on Twitter you can also follow HumidCity should you choose!) I just love the fact that he lists Dallas as home city i the profile. Ten out of ten!
Hat tip to Alan for pointing it out!

Longtime HumidCity friend Lipwrap got chosen to be in a town hall with David Vitter over the phone yesterday. She reported the whole thing, 140 characters at a time, over Twitter. For those of you who would like to see what went on she posted the log from, it here.
If you’re not familiar with Lipwrap’s Lament- The Line, you should be. The NOLABlogosphere’s favorite jewish mother has a dose of perspective you should appreciate. Lipwrap, thanks for posting this, its a mitzva!

For anyone who may have a desire to listen to my drivel instead or reading it, here is a video interview I did with NOLA.com over the course of Jazz Fest. It’s three minutes of sleep deprived and over caffeinated Loki talking about Jazz Fest, WWOZ, and internet tech.
