no beating this spirit

Nice! I love the tagline, "We don't hold anything back" - now that's funny, in a sick, twisted funny kind of way!

I'm glad that humor seems to help when facing very hard circumstances.

Greg - I mean no disrespect to those affected.

I do, however, find this amusing in a way such that those who've endured the pain and suffering of the destruction can still muse at the terrible reality that the levees failed them. The headline is amusing, not the suffering that many are still enduring.

Humor such as the above is the least you can expect. Compared with some of the T-shirts being sold around town, this is mild.

The history of New Orleans is one of adversity, on many levels...and the people of New Orleans -- especially the poorest of them -- have a history of meeting that adversity with defiant, in-your-face humor.
