Inactions Speak Louder Than Words

Words fail me:

"New Orleans' first inspector general hit the ground walking Wednesday.

Literally walking.

In his first week at work, Robert Cerasoli has no car, no staff, no city office, no city phone and no clear idea of what budget his newly created office will have next year."


The inspector general is supposed to investigate corruption in City government. Sadly, this level of incompetence what we've come to expect from a Nagin administration.

Couple this news with C. B. Forgotston's posts here and here , and it's no wonder a Colorado Congressman said what he did.

With all due respect to my lost idealism, and quite sadly, this is hardly news. Now if they had actually put teeth in, THAT would be news.

To paraphrase Captain Renault in Casablanca, "I'm shocked, SHOCKED to find out there's corruption going on....".

Mr. Serasoli is either a fool or very courageous to assume the role of Diogenes in New Orleans.

I am willing to help fund a lamp for him though.
