Mr. Go Mardi Gras Go
Henry Rodriguez Jr., president of the devastated St. Bernard Parish, just east of the city, said that people are really afraid of the Mr. Go and rightfully so since for decades, Mr. Go has also come under criticism for destroying the wetlands alongside it by acting as a channel for saltwater from the gulf, which kills vegetation, and it has never lived up to its promise as a major navigational waterway. The channel has become such a presence in the collective consciousness here that a lawyer, Soren Gisleson, recently wore a Mr. Go Mardi Gras costume with a wig coiffed to resemble a tidal wave and a watery blue strip painted from his face down the center of his white tuxedo.
