Mayor sorry for 'chocolate' comments

So was Wal-Mart ... but at least their gaffe was due to a computer program, and didn't come straight from the horse's mouth. But perhaps neither did this remark - which end of a horse do you suppose Mayor Nagin most closely resembles?

Mayor Ray Nagin on Tuesday apologized for urging residents to rebuild a "chocolate New Orleans" and saying, "You can't have New Orleans no other way." "I'm really sorry that some people took that they way they did, and that was not my intention," the mayor said. "I say everybody's welcome."

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
