Keep your fingers crossed — there’s always a chance that China will keep Ray “Chocolate City” Nagin around for instructional purposes to teach their politicians what not to do during a typhoon:
Chinese authorities have quarantined New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, his wife and a security guard in Shanghai after another traveler on their flight from New Jersey exhibited suspected swine flu symptoms.
Nagin’s office said the three were quarantined in a hotel Sunday as a precaution and were exhibiting no flu symptoms.
This reminds me of a joke…
Q: What do doctors call “swine flu” when a Louisiana Democrat has it?
A: “Flu.”
In any case, I hope it turns out okay. Thank goodness Geraldo’s on the job!
Update: Speaking of Louisiana Democrats, a porn star may be running for Senate there. She won’t find politics to be much of a career change.

I’d forgotten – or blocked out – Geraldo’s deplorable performance. I really hate that guy.
