I took a call at the Square the other day for a poll on the Mayor’s race and, from the questions being asked, I had a feeling I couldn’t shake that Mitch Landrieu is thinking about getting back in. I only say this because one of the questions was along the lines of, “What would…

… and it’s not because he covers works of art with ugly gray paint. Well, I actually think he sucks for that too but, let’s be honest, it’s an open debate. It’s a subjective sort of suck. What some folks may call public art, others may call graffiti. Fred thinks he knows the difference, others…

Ray Nagin: Cuba’s government is ideal for storm response Somebody call Officer Angelo Mancuso! Now it makes sense. The Cuba trips. The China trips. Dang, I’ve called him some shit in the last 7 years but here he was a oinko the whole time! I guess those Che Nagin folks were on to something…

Even though it’s stated without exposition that she has “faded,” Molly’s strangely moved up a notch in the Gambit’s top 50 bars in New Orleans this year. I pitched a fit last year with her placement at 50 so now I can say, “Suck it Avenue Pub! You’re now the worst Best Bar in New…

Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu: ‘I do not intend to run for Mayor of New Orleans’ And that’s fine on account of the fact that he suffers from Gore-Kerry Syndrome. A disorder that affects political candidates who just can’t seem to get it together to defeat seemingly inferior opponents.
