Liens du Moment: 6/6
Perhaps this is something on the skyline Jeffrey and I can agree on: Oak Trees!

I Know, I Know
– I know I just blogspotted him two posts ago but I wanted to send everyone back to the ‘Dish for his image depicting the extended family of Dollar Bill Jefferson. He said he has a Power Point presentation that goes into more detail but this will have to do for now. – I looked…

So in the interest of full disclosure I must admit that I have never listened to Bob Mitchell before tonight’s show following Nagin’s state of the city speech. And…
The Ghetto Bird is Coming!
You heard Nagin say it tonight. The ghetto bird is coming… “Why, oh why must you swoop through the hood like everybody from the hood is up to no good. You think all the girls around here are trickin up there lookin like Superchicken At night I see your light through my bedroom window But…
