    I'm glad you put a link to this up. As a Tulane Alumnus, resident and lover of the city, it's pained me immensely to see from afar the pig-headedness and buck-passing taking center stage rather than concrete efforts to make things better. Wynton's speech couldn't be more timely and more moving. I've linked to it, and will pass the link on to as many people as possible.

    Thanks.

    Ernie,

    A gem and a wonderful way to close out the week.

    Thanks,
