Dear Editor: New Orleans and Mardi Gras; Madison and Halloween.
That says it all.
How come New Orleans manages to celebrate Mardi Gras every year without generating national news headlines about “police riots,” pulling in thousands if not millions of dollars of tourist revenue, whereas Madison regularly loses its head and blows it every year at Halloween?
Come on, Mayor Dave! Take a delegation from Madtown down to the Crescent City and find out how they do it!
