Tea What?
Even though I’m hungover from drinking too many of those Abita SOS beers last night, I couldn’t help but be tickled this morning by this…
Hello Kristin Palmer!
Hello Kristin Palmer! Congratulations on your election to the District C city council seat earlier this year! That’s how many in a row for Algerines? My name is Lance Vargas and I am a found object folk artist, blogger and registered voter in your district. I am writing about a problem intersection in our district,…
Won’t Bow But Will Pose For A Picture For A Dollar
Couple things seen around Jackson Square… I’m not an expert on the Indians but this strikes me as some sort of sacrilege? What I am hoping is either this is a fella who has somehow gotten himself an Indian costume and is freelancing on Jackson Square or he is a former Indian who is down…
Two Ways To Look At This Story…
Professor: Low pressure reading may suggest well has lost power Okay, so I think I understand this. May not need help from the experts. One possibility is the well may have deflated over time and isn’t as powerful as it once was. Like when you have to pee real bad and at first it all…

‘Some Claim’
Even though I got all Doomsday last week, there’s nothing like a smattering of bullshit to get one’s head back on straight. I can’t help but post my favorite phrases from this story I read recently. (HT-Kim) The author does use many citations throughout the story but most of them are based on findings that…
No Merge For You
Via That Will Buff Out HT to the GP on the FB for this… I wag my finger at them like Dikembe Mutumbo and then I don’t let them in. You will never find a more agonizing instance of this than the I-10 / HWY 90 merge by the Superdome… View Larger Map
