    I remember seeing several proposals
    Have they Decided what they going to do with it yet?

    This is not about their progress
    This is not about N.O.
    This is not about Politics

    This is simply a question of whether they have made the
    final decision or not what they are going to do with the site
    and
    If they have . . what is it

    A link would be appreciated

    DD, that was hilarious. I laughed out so loud, that people just gave me dirty looks, and wanted to know what I am reading. Mind you, this is a new job I started a couple of weeks ago. :D

    I am not sure God would be too happy with America giving him the 'middle finger'; haven't we had enough 'punishment' already? Jerry Falwell would like to know...

    Palms had to be greased, contracts had to be rigged, cronies had to be hired, these things take time.
