Biloxi Is Back

With all the talk of Hurricane Katrina and the devastation of New Orleans, people forget that Biloxi got nailed as well...pretty much wiped off the face of America. But one look at the Biloxi Craigslist community, and you can plainly see that there are a few flowers sprouting from the wreckage. Now, the damage is definitely done, and the lovely lady behind these ta-tas begins her posting by stating (and I quote): "leiffehs vitcejda dn2 shadow allah editoria groggy1 jacksoni ssieng knew1 theretof shamble1 1lennuf fin thermose." This might be code, or a garbled cry for help; it might be the drugs wearing off/taking effect, or simply the shock setting in that our government offers no real hope. But using Steinbeck's metaphor found in the final chapter of the over-hyped GRAPES OF WRATH, all one needs is a mother's bosom to rest in: healing will come. As our Biloxi heroin states, "LIVE AND LET BE."--FP
