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…

… 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, [...]

I took a call at the Square the other day for a poll on the Mayor’s race and, from the questions being asked, I had a feeling I couldn’t shake that Mitch Landrieu is thinking about getting back in. I only say this because one of the questions was along [...]

Last night’s Blogging 101 event was a success and I wanted to extend the invitation to all who attended to feel free to ask anyone in Rising Tide whatever questions you may have.

In the era of pay-outs and a general state of hemorrhaging staffs I often wonder why Nola.com still bothers putting national news on their front page anymore. I honestly thought hyper-local was the way things were going.

In a last ditch effort to fill up the back room of the Bridge Lounge for Rising Tide’s Blogging 101 class I just wanted to tell anyone who thinks they might attend that there will be free beer sponsored by a “nameless” benefactor.
But if you are a scurvy type who [...]
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 [...]
Had a bit of a server meltdown. Which explains the loss of posts. I think I lost a drink recipe…some other stuff…some comments. I am going through feed readers and gathering them back up. Comments might be lost. Maybe not.

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 [...]

Ray Nagin: Cuba’s government is ideal for storm response
Somebody call Officer Angelo Mancuso!
Now it makes sense. The Cuba trips. The China trips. Dang, I’ve called him some shit in the last 7 years but here he was a oinko the whole time!
I just really love Sarah Vowell.

Today starting at 3 p.m. there will be live-blogging of the Saints HUGE fourth game versus the also-undefeated and hyped New York Jets coming straight from the Superdo…uh, Sylvania 42-inch! We’ve heard sportscaster after sportscaster describe this as “game of the week. I am just hoping [...]
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 [...]
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…

“That place was twice as loud as this new stadium.”
For the record [...]

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 [...]

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.
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 [...]

The T-P article reads…
Berry said he’s never hidden his identity out of fear, but as a way to encourage dialogue about corruption in a city where few problems are addressed head-on.
And that doesn’t make sense. So the “why” question is still out there for me.

Just a few thoughts about this year’s conference…

Even though he never threatened us, I have entered full-on storm-geek status this season and have been checking on brother Bill daily. It might be some sort of weird adrenalin jockey affiliation I have developed in association with storm chasing, but I go back to him several times a day.

Back when I was in the newspaper business we had a word we used in headlines when shit was just all tossed up. The word was “woes.” And If there was any word to describe the Saints kicker situation in the last 12 months it would be, “woeful.”
In 2006, we [...]
I’ve been with the mayor for the last, actually, seven years as a chief — including being the deputy chief. I have seen what he has gone through. There’s absolutely nothing about being mayor that’s attractive today.
That’s probably why no one else wants the job either Chief. But I am [...]

I guess Nola.com got tired of being the butt of everyone’s jokes so they up-and-decided to harass the broadcast news up in Cleveland. Did they really have to go all the way up North to find something worse than chopped up bodies acting strangely?
Anyway, here’s the link…
I was at a party a little while back and some fellas were making predictions about how the Saints were going to do this year and everyone was really getting in to just how good they thought the team would be. Guys, were saying, “Going to the Super Bowl!” and [...]

Karen’s officially “been mentioned.” That’s better [...]
