coming through slaughter

In the wake of devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina, it was easy to overlook these other signs of trouble for the city of New Orleans.
  • Beloved native son and troubadour Dr. John was stripped of his medical license by the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners.
  • John Woo's film Hard Target was added to the National Film Registry. The movie features Jean-Claude Van Damme portraying a Cajun.
  • The church of African-American Spiritual Forces of New Orleans, founded by Mother Leafy Anderson, failed in its bid to purchase voodoo.com and was forced to purchase VD.com as a back-up.
  • A panel of linguists concluded that "Iko Iko" is completely meaningless from a grammatical standpoint.
  • Despite the best efforts of Ken Burns, jazz is still not popular.
  • It was revealed that Tennessee Williams was a little bit gay.
  • Actually, he was a lot gay.
  • D.C. Comics killed off The Superdome in a multi-comic crossover event.
  • Former vampire chronicler Anne Rice abandoned Gothic horror and embraced christianity. This is especially bad news for Big Easy residents looking forward to Exit to Eden 2.
  • Louis Armstrong dropped below Lance Armstrong in a ranking of America's Favorite Armstrongs (Number One? Neil.)
