Oil protest scheduled for Sunday at Washington Artillery Park… Murdered Gulf: Stop the BP OIl Flood Now! I am not sure why but, there are a lot of people that just hate protests. Even if they are for the cause, they just have this aversion to the gathering. I’ve been to three protests since I…

Dear Hubig’s
Hello Hubig Pies! My name is Lance Vargas and I have a blog online called “The Chicory.” There has been a bit of discussion on the Web recently about the appearance of a Hubig Pie in the first episode of HBO’s Treme. Some say that pies weren’t being made at this time and therefore wouldn’t…
President Coolidge, I mean Johnson, I Mean Bush, I Mean Obama is Coming!
President Obama is planning another visit to the Gulf Coast to view the progress on the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill. Before he arrives, he should be advised that the people of South Louisiana are cynical of presidential visits. We have seen viewing of disaster areas before.

Either way, he’s got a pretty amazing screen presence….
Return of the Hunter!

Credit Where It’s Due
In many previous posts on this blog I have ridiculed Nola.com for the numerous grammar errors and general lack of editorial oversight within its site. I know they frequently utilized temps and interns and they do make more mistakes than folks who are employed with bennies and what not. I am not sure if the…

Oil Apologists
You have heard them. “If you drive a car back and forth to work every day than you should have expected this sort of thing to happen.” Or, “As long as you depend on oil, there are going to be accidents like this.” Well, no and no. Leaving out the fact that my shop and…
