You can’t buy this kind of publicity…
Hours after New Orleans officials announced Tuesday that they would deploy a city-owned, wireless Internet network in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, regional phone giant BellSouth Corp. withdrew an offer to donate one of its damaged buildings that would have housed new police headquarters, city officials said yesterday.
According to the officials, the head of BellSouth’s Louisiana operations, Bill Oliver, angrily rescinded the offer of the building in a conversation with New Orleans homeland security director Terry Ebbert, who oversees the roughly 1,650-member police force.

BellSouth Corp. should be given a capitalism castration. When I think up what that is, I will will let you know.
For now, in the immortal words of Alicia L., BellSouth can “eat me”; in the alternative, BellSouth may “coma la mierda”.
Capitalism castration, in this case, would be to fire the entire Board of Directors of BellSouth Corp. and replace those infidels with individuals who were residents of New Orleans’ 9th Ward in July of 2005.
