Will Bush Keep Pledge to Rebuild Bridge? I too couldn’t help but feel some skeptic deja vu when I heard Bush telling the people of Minneapolis that everything was going to be okay. I know he was keeping up appearances. Like he did on Sept. 20, 2001, like he did on Sept. 16, 2005. But…

It seems appropriate that I reposted Bush’s Jackson Square speech yesterday, because later in the day, I read a story that said he plans to veto a largely bipartisan bill (381-40) passed in Congress to help provide better levee protection for Jean Lafitte, Jefferson, Orleans, Terrebonne and Lafourche Parishes. Just yesterday, one of Bush’s party…

No commentary necessary here. After the murder of contractor Tony White, NOPD sergeant Joe Narcisse said: “I think people can take some comfort in knowing that it was a random act of violence,” It doesn’t seem random that this is the third recent robbery that has turned (or was perhaps originally intended to be) violent:…

Following is a short update on the murder of Chris Roberts on Father’s Day. Actually it is not much of an update, the police still have no suspects or motives. I have traded a few e-mails with his girlfriend Jeanette Kelly and here is what she has told me: – Kelly is doing some investigating…

Ministers show support for Jordan The Rev. Joseph C. Profit Sr., president of the Ideal Missionary Baptist Association, said New Orleans’ murder rate was also high in the years before Jordan became the first African American DA in the city’s history. But when Jordan’s predecessors were in office, Profit said, “No one cried out for…

I was going to put together a lengthy post about the protest in front of the Cabildo today but, because I had to get out of bed at 5 a.m. to make it there, I’m too tired to expound on the significance of it. I stumbled out of bed and made my way down there…

So it seems the reorganization is the way the local politicos are going. I think that sucks. So does Schroeder. What ever happened to resignations? There was Rummy and … Rummy. Well the reorganization isn’t sitting with me. I demand Ed’s resignation. I’ve read Stacy Head’s letter to Clay stating that the reorganization is better…

Well, the latest most shocking thing to emerge from the Eddie Jordan situation is his stating on local television last night that the witness in the Michael Anderson case was not credible and lied to them about her whereabouts. Thus, insinuating that she is dishonest and a liar. Thus, making the defense attorney’s job a…

Who all has joined the chorus demanding Jordan’s resignation? Let’s see. Garland Robinette sure the hell did on the radio this afternoon. Shelly Midura has. Karen did yesterday. I seconded and then got all pissed here on The Chicory (see below) and Charlotte agreed it should be done. Maitri did earlier that day and even…

Senator sorry after number appears on D.C. Madam’s list I actually don’t care if Vitter was getting some nookie up in DC. But these types always set themselves up for the fall when they get all uppity with the morals and values. Anyway, here’s where he tells us it’s none of our business. “This was…
