Picayune Porn links: Mayor HotMop?

After my first post on the intersection of Picayune porn links and City Hall my inbox lit up like it was the evening of the 4th of July on the beach here in Soggy Bottom.

Repost: Something you can do to help

Deborah Cotton, writer and editor of recently launched New Orleans entertainment based website, New Orleans Good Good, was one of the most severely affected victims in the Mother’s Day second line shooting last Sunday. She’s been through hell in the past five days and she has no easy path to recovery ahead of her.
