In the department of “bad habits left over from my childhood in Pensacola,” I am aware of the use of “gay” and “retarded” to describe things as being lame or stupid. In my marginally more enlightened adulthood I am aware of the use of these terms as derogatory even though there are many straight people…

Ya Damn Right
NFL linebacker Danny Clark on the 100,000 people who opened the new Cowboy stadium on Monday compared to the Saints’ reopening the Superdome in 2006… “I played in New Orleans when we reopened the [Super]Dome in 2006 after Hurricane Katrina. “That place was twice as loud as this new stadium.” For the record we only…
How Did I Miss This?
How did I miss this in ’06? Must have been all that “working in a hotel after the flood” stuff. Anyway, Where yat this go ’round Kim? Crazy NOLA mayoral candidate doctors Disneyland photo – again A bizarre NOLA mayoral candidate has been caught doctoring photos of herself standing in Disneyland. For the second time….
Friday Night Local Access
It was a glorious night for local access. First there was the gets-better-every-time-I-watch it WYES show “Stay Tuned.” My favorites are the Mike Nichols Jax beer commercials and the talking freezer and K&B. Actually the freezer one os only funny because one mulleted guy looks like he fired up a spliff. got the munchies and…
Something Not Right Again
Who can guess? No, it’s not that Swayze’s death is on the front page. But I agree, that ain’t right.
Liveblogging the Saints Today at Noon: ‘I’ve Got A Bad Feeling About This’ Edition
Today starting at Noon there will be live-blogging of the Saints Season Opener coming straight from the Superdo…uh, Sylvania 42-inch! Almost the entire world thinks the Saints aren’t going to be challenged by The Detroit Lions (who have only won once in their last 24 tries and that includes a loss to us last season)….
The Masturbatory Borgnine
In continuing with my obligation as a blogger to supplement and enhance mainstream media (MSM as it is annoyingly referred to), I would like to provide this video to show further evidence of the general awesome state of being achieved by 92 year-old Ernest Borgnine. Borgnine who has the distinction of having two heds on…
Pump Prayer
Wow! Look at all these great Biblical flood quotes! Genesis 6:17 “Behold, I, even I am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish. Genesis 7:7 Then Noah and his sons and his…
Hugging Molly Incarnate in Georgetown
Anyone who has reveled with me at Mardi Gras knows I have this weird affection for New Orleans folk figures. Two years ago, I dressed as “The Axe Man of New Orleans” and last year as Hugging Molly, both folk figures from the fantastic book Gumbo YaYa. The Axeman was certainly more infamous and based…
Republic Embraces Their Inner ’90s
I saw a flyer for The Toadies playing at Republic posted on a telephone pole a few weeks back and it was like I was suddenly walking into an acquaintance I hadn’t seen since ’95 and forgot existed. Then this morning I get an e-mail saying Marcy Playground has “just been announced” for the venue….
