Mardi Gras

my life and times But to some of Katrina’s hardest-hit victims, the party seems in poor taste. From Houston, refugee Samuel Spears said footage from his hometown of bead-tossing and carousing tourists just made him angry.“With them putting on Mardi Gras, without still having not addressed the basic human needs in this city — why that’s just a slap in the face,” said Spears. “I can’t go home, but they can have a parade? That’s ridiculous.” Mardi Gras is over, can New Orleans be far behind?
