Must Be Rough Out There
There once was a time when I opened Craigslist every day and poured over the job postings looking for something, anything. I was never very successful. It was a frustrating process that was detailed in this post back in 2007… When Enough Isn’t Enough But it’s gotten amazingly worse… Nov 16 – Web designer needed…
Whoa! Hey! James Perry!
When I read about the ad I actually thought it was worse than it actually turned out to be. But it seemed fine actually. I don’t have high expectations of politicians (local and otherwise) anyway so it’s not exactly offensive that one might use bleeped out cuss words in their ads. Though when Pants said…
Hurricane Forecasters do it…
… so I will do it too. You know how they wait until the middle of hurricane season to suddenly decide their awful predictions actually aren’t going to happen? Well, heh, see, I predicted the Saints would go 8-8- back in August and well, it seems like that is, well, it’s impossible actually. I even…

Why Fred Radtke Sucks
… 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…

Some Can’t Do What They Wanna, Some Can But Shouldn’t
My poor wife has been suffering from some sort of gastro-intestinal virus over the last few days and is upset about it’s slowing her down and not allowing her to party with the Saints Monday, go to pilates, do chores and everything else. Her frustrations culminated this morning when she said, “I just want to…
