Cellophane Mayor

Recently our mayor declared;

“I’m done. I have implemented transparency.”

-- New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin
He's so transparent everybody sees right through him.

We citizens of New Orleans have been treated to a long running soap opera involving, the Garbage Guru, The Head Witch, Trashanova and the Opaque Cellophane Mayor. It is ridiculous, absurd, humorous and all the time tragic. A Greek chorus of people have called it Theater of the Absurd. All it would take is for someone to act like an adult, but no one seem to be able to.

It's all the sadder because it represents nearly every thing that happens in New Orleans city government, usually behind closed doors.
