Things getting back to normal in the Big Easy

Well, thank goodness that the important things are getting back to normal in NO! First bars and now strippers:

NEW ORLEANS, Sept 21 (Reuters) - In a sign that things may be returning to normal in New Orleans, strip shows are back in the city's famous French Quarter.

Erotic dancers and strippers are entertaining crowds of police, firefighters and military personnel instead of the usual audiences of drunken conventioneers and tourists in Bourbon Street's Deja Vu club, which reopened this week.

Yeah. Forget about things like hospitals, police stations, fire departments, government and the rest of the city's infrastructure. The strippers will be what brings NO back to life.

I like that. "In a sign that things may be returning to normal in New Orleans, strip shows are back in the city's famous French Quarter." How do you gauge what is "normal" for New Orleans? You look at the strip clubs. Don't look at any sort of rebuilding of homes and businesses. Heck, no! If people are drooling over naked women, "things are returning to normal." I bet if San Francisco got hit bad by an earthquake, the indicator for the city returning to normal would be "gays are strutting around naked in the streets and engaging in homosexual activities."

Can anyone say "Sodom and Gomorrah?"
