I know a few posts back I said I was for the pay raises. Now, this may seem a little confusing but I am pro recalling any Congressmen who voted themselves a pay raise. Reason? I am always for a recall. The more recalls, impeachments and resignations the better. Let the heads roll I say!…
Molly’s At 50. Molly’s At 50?
Lord, I hate lists. I hate ranking. I know we live in a capitalist society and it is inevitable that things get placed in order from “best” to “not quite the best.” I understand the point of recognizing a group for their achievements but, once ranks enter the picture the whole thing because snarky.

I Liked Russ
NBC’s Tim Russert dies of heart attack at 58 He was a sharp interviewer with a superb style. I’ll miss his voice and manner. He was free of punditry and spin, a fine newsman.

The sky is falling! But it isn’t. This isn’t your grandfather’s America. That notion of it being the “greatest country in the world” isn’t so illustrious as it…
Bruh Clint at the Ogden
The fiancee and I caught Clint Maedgen and Strings at the Ogden last night. It was a great show with an interview in the middle by Allison Fensterstock* between tiny sets. We love string instruments. I realize that Nola is a brass city and, lord do I love trumpets and sousas, but there is something…

Last Time I Checked…
