AU REVOIR, SCOUT PRIME
posted Tuesday, 25 August 2009
Today Scout Prime wrote her last political blog post. She has been blogging at First Draft for quite some time. Before that she had her own blog and also wrote for TPM's post-K NOLA blog: After The Levees. She was the person who inspired the original idea behind Rising Tide. That's right she's to blame for all our nonsense.
Scout was a passionate advocate for our city and its recovery and a great friend to the NOLA bloggers myself included. She's a helluva tough *and* incredibly nice woman. Her voice will be missed. I'll let her have the last word:
"I made many trips to New Orleans over the past years. I was given the opportunity to witness the people of New Orleans lift their city from ruin...out of love. Because it has been their doing...when often they waited and waited for help, fought against the misunderstanding and falsehoods, became the pawn in political fights, faced the sting of abandonment and worse. They taught me so much about what community is and that it is worth fighting for. I unabashedly admire them and I came to love their city."
We love you too, Scout. I hope you'll still ride in the First Draft crack van from time to time. You better: you're in charge of bringing the ham, after all.
