Way back in October when I first began to formulate the story idea on the NOLA Art House’s tree house installation, the biggest questions always had to do with the legality of the joint. On the one hand, here you [...]
Yes, there’s going to be a parade today, but it’s going to be cold out there. The City of New Orleans is enacting its freeze plan this evening, so in the spirit of looking out for those less fortunate Who Dats who might need a warm place to stay tonight, [...]
While the city enjoys its victory parade with the beloved Saints today, it also is basking in some very positive press, and not just on the sports pages. The world is getting a glimpse of the good side of New Orleans, for a change. The revelry, the balance between work [...]
A machete wielding bandit held up the Family Dollar Store on East Texas Street in Bossier City last night. He demanded, and got, $20 from the cashier and then ran away.
Another of the good guys bites the dust: U.S. Representative John Murtha, PA, USMC retired, is now gone. If ever it could be said that someone gave their all and went down fighting, this is the man. Two Purple Hearts, a Bronze Star & the [...] 
I'm holding my breath waiting to see if the Republicans fall into the trap of becoming Obama's next "human stage props" as Michelle Malkin called the proposed bi-partisan health care summit.1775 – American Revolutionary War: British Parliament declares Massachusetts in rebellion.

It was a landslide for Mitch Landrieu on Saturday, his third try at becoming mayor. Flanked by his US senator sister and his former mayor dad, he thanked voters for finally giving him the post he has long sought. Landrieu won almost two-thirds of the votes, giving him a solid [...]
Saints Superbowl Victory Celebration from Cottage Films on Vimeo.
It takes some doing to kerfuffle both the readers of the Daily Kos and, say, Michelle Malkin, but Audi managed to do it during last night’s Super Bowl with its “Green Police” commercial. Here it is:
In precis: Cheap Trick sing a version of their insanely catchy “Dream Police” [...]
I’m not against the phrase Who-Dat Nation to describe Saints fans everywhere. But the phrase is a touch unoriginal — I think Raider Nation pre-dates it. More importantly, the word nation fails to describe this phenomenon. It’s world-wide. The Times of London has taken up the Who-Dat cause. And [...]
Not me, this time. The Dow Jones Industrial Average broke 10,000, going down. It’s been on a pretty good slide since Obama started his assault on banks.
I’m not surprised. Businesses need banks to operate. If you’re a business or a banker, you don’t know from one day to the [...]
From WaPo's Mike Wise: "Brees outgunning Manning was essentially the man beating the machine."....
S.I's Pete King looks at the kick: "Perfect. Ambush. That's the name of the Saints' onside kick, the one that continued the Colts' downfall in Super Bowl 44. The reason it's so perfect" [...]
