What could be more absurd than a wrinkled old man swaddled in baby’s blankets, leering at the nurses from an undersized crib?  It is an image that evokes the same revulsion as, say, the lecherous retiree who speeds around south Florida in a convertible with a beautiful young woman in the passenger seat.  Someone should tell him to act his age.  Fitzgerald, though, saw the potential in reversing the aging process, saving youth and vitality for when they can be most appreciated during the twilight of old age.  What initially seems like a blessing, that is, growing younger while everyone around him is growing older, instead isolates Benjamin Button so that at no point in his topsy-turvy life does he have a peer.  He is perpetually out of place, a geriatric when he should be an infant and a schoolboy when he should be a grandfather.

The scathingly satirical "Ray Nagin Coloring Book" pairs the mayor's at-times baffling comments with illustrations.

Creator Karen Ocker says she hopes people think carefully about the mayor's tenure of the last seven years, including the city's slow recovery from Hurricane Katrina.

Nagin's office didn't respond when asked if he has seen the book. Nagin has said his legacy will be viewed favorably in the long term.
