Ray Nagin Talks to Willie Wonka

Now that God got Mayor Nagin in trouble he's consulted with Willie Wonka to get the recipe right for a chocolate city.

"It's time for us to rebuild New Orleans, the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans, and I don't care what people are saying uptown wherever they are, this city will be chocolate at the end of the day. This city will be a majority African-American city -- it's the way God wants it to be."

Later in the day, the mayor seemed to be back-pedaling, as he said, "Do you know anything about chocolate? How do you make chocolate? You take dark chocolate, you mix it with white milk and it becomes a delicious drink."

He hasn't revealed as to the possibility of there being a place for the oompa loompa community in the new New Orleans.

Update:

25 Jan 06 A creator of Nagin T-shirts said he has received orders from as far away as Malaysia and Norway, according to a report.

"We all heard the speech and jaws hit the floor and we said, 'No he did not say that,'" a T-shirt creator said in the Local 6 News report. "The mayor unfortunately did (say that) and we said what can we do?"

The company also sells Nagin hats and bumper stickers with the "Willy Nagin and the Chocolate Factory" slogan.

A company representative said they have sold about 3,000 shirts in the first two weeks of offering the product.
