Bravissimo
I loved the use of stills in the film...very good editing.
What I loved most about it is that it reminds us that progress isn't easy...or even pretty. It can be as akward as a white boy trying to dance (which was indeed painful to watch)...but its always better to dance than sit in the corner and do nothing.
I give it a 9 out of 10.
I have a Yes Men Fix the World review as well...but I want to watch it again before I write that.
Ho hum
Interesting you talk of “terroristic words” when your posts talk about “finding” people…you encourage such behavior. So please do not attempt to take any high ground it will not be accepted here.
I am not Daya I am a friend of hers and greatly offended by your continued tirade on a good friend of mine. She’s a good person and is not involved in any of the illegal or unethical behavior you and your courage keyboard constituents post. The fact you continued to post such liable about her tells you have never met her. Just attempting to make connections that simply do not exists.
If the IG said such a thing post the e-mail otherwise you are still very much the Sith.
As you stated on your website – you “can get away with what the newspapers can’t” and regularly (and probably time pride in) posting unsubstantiated rumors.
BE Posse
I have not launched any measure of personal attack against Daya. I am simply pointing out the conflicts of interest between the companies she works for and Mr. Ellis's position as a city attorney.
Is the Secretary of State's website lying? Are you telling me you don't think there is any conflict of interest? Are you the one on meds?
Believe me, I'm not taking the high ground....this is a snake pit. Your journalistic criticism is falling on reptilian ears. If you're trying to discredit the blog by saying its a rumor mill...you're pissing in the wind. I never took the high ground to begin with....but I readily admit when I'm wrong.
Therein lies my point.
Pray tell....will you contest anything that I've posted as false? I had 7 questions...you have claimed one as false and I immediately acknowledged it. 6 more to go. Oh...I never stated the IG said anything...I simply said I spoke with him. What do you mean when you say "The IG said such a thing?" I never said he said anything....what thing are you referring to?
But once again...if Mr. Ellis would like to address the facts which have been drawn to our attention...I welcome the discourse.
You have an open mic....tap tap...its on...

Shit goin' down in da hood
Now this.
WTF....has everybody gone gangsta in Louisiana politics? Is Mary L. gonna pull a drive-by on Karen next? Is Veronica White going to leave a horse's head in Stacy Head's bed? Is Nagin going to send Lee Zurik a white powder letter?
I think its time to launch the BLF - Bloggers Liberation Front....All your base are belong to us!
Oh and just for shitz and gigglez....I think it was Gene Mills and the LFF.
Surprise
Mayor Ray Nagin failed to save 'sent' e-mail
The rebuttal says those mailboxes -- belonging to former technology directors Greg Meffert and Mark Kurt, and Imagine Software founder Scott Domke -- have been located.

Balance....or balancing act?
According to the electronic records of the clerk of court for Orleans Parish Civil District Court, Daya Naef represents Home Solutions Restoration of Louisiana in at least three lawsuits in which the City of New Orleans or a related entity is named as a party:
HOME SOLUTIONS RESTORATION OF LOUISIANA, INC. VERSUS ORLEANS PARISH SCHOOL BOARD, No. 2008-13283, Division "I" (only the School Board is named)
SEWELL, STEPHEN SCOTT ET AL VERSUS HOME SOLUTIONS OF AMERICA, INC. ET AL, No. 2009-2078, Division "K" (City is a party, City Attorney Albert Thibodeaux the only attorney listed for City)
HOME SOLUTIONS RESTORATION OF LOUISIANA, INC. ET AL VERSUS FRENCH MARKET CORPORATION ET AL, No. 2009-5751, Division "K" (City Department of Public Works named as party, represented by John F. Weeks, an outside lawyer)
There appears to be a pretty obvious conflict of interest between Naef and her husband. Has the City signed off on anything waiving the conflict? Probably not. Are measures being taken to screen Ellis from looking at this City files? Probably not.
Can Bob Ellis -- errr, I mean whoever is defending the Ellis Posse -- enlighten us on what has been done to address the conflict?

For the balance of my inquiry...
Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Everybody all together now....":
In response to your commentary that only a Sith speaks in absolutes, I suggest you read your “blogs” after you have taken your meds and before the coffee or whatever it is you take/ in digest to have such a socio-pathetic view of your world. All you do is post rumors and conjecture (a fact you freely admit) and then your few mindless followers respond with even more amazingly stupid comments. Face it AZ – you have keyboard courage to pick on those that cannot examine your sad excuse for a life. But putting aside insults, your logic is flawed.
So because BE is a City Attorney and married to Naef they are involved in a conspiracy? You are an idiot. After reviewing your site I noted your continued re-posting of “incoming new news” under the “I just go this in” obviously in hopes to motivate your few followers and stimulate your sad life to insult people you do not know.
For the balance of your inquiry:
Naef has never worked for NetMethods.
Ask him yourself about the IG meeting, although I serious doubt you have the guts to actually do it.
4. Daya actually worked for NetMethods?
So of 7 True or False questions....one is dismissed as false according to this anon...who I suspect is Mrs. Naef herself judging by the venomous tone. But thanks for helping us sort out the list.
By the way...how was I insulting? By pointing out that Bob Ellis's wife is intricately involved with and being payed by a company that is getting millions and millions of dollars in no-bid city contracts? Am I insulting Mr. Ellis by pointing out his conflicts of interest? Not that I give a damn either way....but I'm curious how you think I'm being insulting.
As far as speaking to him, I don't need to...I already spoke to our former IG. Maybe you should speak to him as you seem to be defending him so blindly. But since you appear to be a fan...please let him know that he has an open platform here to reply to anything that has been posted. Provided it doesn't constitute a terroristic threat, I encourage any response or explanation he would like to aver.
Oh...and just for the record....my life rocks....even more than this guy:

You'll also be happy to know that your tax dollars are working hard to pay $30,000 of legal defense expenses against the Times Picayune and Lee Zurik (WWL) for our mayor.

Doesn't that just make you feel all warm and fuzzy?

Harrison Boyd as the Mighty Oz
The first is rather bizarre, but here goes:
Word has it that current N.O. CTO, Harrison Boyd, moved himself into the second floor of the annex building in City Hall which apparently houses the circuit breakers for the entire building. The word is that he has been purposely tripping breakers in order to fuck with other city employees by taking their power out. I think that truly deserves a WTF? . On another note, he is reportedly trying to take over Ed Blakely's role as recovery czar.....yeah please do that, Harrison. We definitely need to pay another asshole to sit in a useless position and spew bullshit at us.
Secondly (and I think much more pertinent):
Anthony "bowling pin" Jones may have taken the MIS department over budget by as much as $4 million dollars in his short and unqualified tenure. That's apparently 50% over the original budget. Good thing he finally finished that B.S. degree in business management from the esteemed University of Phoenix. What does B.S. stand for again? Are they the ones who taught him how to open a bid for a company at a set budget then expand it at will...or was that Ciber?
UPDATE: Ok, the WTF was indeed false...as this explanation was provided - A correction: The circuit breakers trip because there's not enough
power to the area he's in, not because he's on a power trip. I
believe the particular department it screws up the most is the
taxi-cab bureau
Ashe' RT4

The Orisha depicted here is named Yemoja (many spellings, Yemaja, Yemalla, Jemoja, many more...). She is the Yoruba Goddess of the oceans and hence the mother of life itself. You could look at her as the mother of the world and her personality traits are indicative of that role...understanding, patient, loving, and nuturing.
One interesting theory on a diaspora manifestation of Yemoja is that Quaker Oats' famous syrup product "Aunt Jemima" actually originated from a slave term for the "motherly figure" or "mammy archetype" on southern plantations.....note the similarities in the names (the Y is actually pronounced with a "Juh" sound....as in "Juh-mo-Jah") and the similar semantic constructs of the two terms. Aunt Jemima may have been Yemoja herself.
Once again its important to note that Yoruba Cosmology is an oral tradition, not written, therefore its impossible to "scientifically prove" anything in the religion. That, of course, is by design as the priniciple of Ashe' is infinite and cannot be defined. The recognition of Ashe' is called Itutu and the color which is always associated with it is blue....no coincidence that Yemoja's color is blue as well....her love runs as deep as the ocean itself.
RT4! Be there....and even if you can't...DONATE!!!!

New Orleans City Councilwoman Shelley Midura will not seek re-election next year
No Surprise
If I was a member of the Bob Ellis Posse I would drive my car today straight to the us attorneys office and just plead guilty. I don't see any reason to fall on the swords they laid on the ground because the entire posse is headed to the federal pen. The cat is out of the bag and the scam has been uncovered.
Muchos Gracias to the Ellis/Naef maritial alliance for fleecing us with your concocted schemes to defraud us taxpayers. The Republican Party thanks you as well for linking them into the Nagin scandal.

Everybody all together now....

Only a Sith speaks in absolutes
Perhaps before you start a blog about someone, you should get your facts straight, as none of your claims are factually correct.
BE Posse
O.K. Posse...lets put that to the test:
True or False:
1. Bob Ellis is a city attorney?
2. Bob Ellis is married to Daya Naef?
3. Daya is the registered agent for Picke Construction, an HSOA subsidiary?
4. Daya actually worked for NetMethods?
5. Bob Ellis showed up at meetings regarding the Inspector General's Office and made disparaging comments about IG Cerasoli and the office?
6. When confronted face to face at one of those meetings on the West Bank and asked why he was there, Ellis replied "I was assigned to the job."?
7. Daya Naef is the registered agent for Associated Contractors, Llc. ?
If you answered true to any of the previous questions, Posse...I think you may need to retract your claim.
In that spirit...I will also retract one of the blog's previous claims....Ellis was not the owner of the dilapidated properties in mid-city:
Ellis is quite the character....multiple blighted properties in Mid-city.....do all Ray's peeps own blighted property?
This was incorrect.
Oh...btw...I'm 3 years and 644 posts into this blog...I most certainly didn't start it for him.
Ma gavte la nata.

Proving once again...
[A flash of agitation.] First of all, who cares? His popularity is no greater — in fact it's less — than what my brother's was during the beginning of his tenure, in a time of unbelievable friction, if you think about it, because of the 2000 election (No Jeb, you don't want us to actually think about it...if we thought about it you may have a revolution on your hands...kinda like Iran in the present) . His approval ratings were higher than Barack Obama's during his first one hundred days. [Actually, according to Gallup, during the first hundred days of his presidency, Bush had approval ratings that were generally in the high 50s to low 60s, while Obama's were in the low to mid-60s.]

For the techies
They used to have two-week rolling tapes. In February they switched to an off-site and more robust on-site procedure. The tapes I was given access to were from February of this year. I had no access to tapes before then.
2. Tapes weren’t tampered with – just no data from the past.
ISP – not sure. I suspect they have more than one. The servers only started archiving off-site in February as I understand it.
I was only given access to the two mail servers for the mayorofno.com domain so I have no idea what is on his or any other employee’s PCs. He said today that “all” of his e-mail was recovered from his “personal computer” so perhaps they found an old OST file on it.
Not sure if the server drive was “shredded” but we should know soon…
Thanks
Chris
