New Orleans Mayor Detained In China
"New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, his wife, Seletha, and a member of the mayor's entourage were being held in quarantine at a hotel in Shanghai after a passenger on Nagin's flight to China came down with suspected swine flu symptoms, a city spokeswoman said Sunday." No word yet on when the mayor will be released, but the news does give the commenters at the Times-Picayune website two groups to make racist remarks against as opposed to the usual one. On the plus side, only one commenter thus far has tried a "chocolate city" joke, so it's not all terrible.
