Quotes > Wizbang Paul on Mardi Gras

"To think the people of New Orleans would abandon a 300 year old tradition because the city suffered another tragedy is to insult modern New Orleanians. ... That sprit of determination and defiance is usually lauded in this country. When New York put on the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade just days after 9/11, people applauded the spirit of the people of New York. But when New Orleans has Mardi Gras 6 months after a flood we're just hayseeds who don't take life seriously. (Not that we're insulted or anything.)"
