Claude Mauberret is a total ass
I hate to move Baylen Brees down, but this really pisses me off.
Claude Mauberret, who made it to the runoff for the city assessor’s office, dropped out:

So this is what it feels like
I’m still really at a loss for words as to how this all feels. I think the whole city feels like Drew Brees’ kid right now.
But wait. Because I’m a monster. There’s one more thing:

You knew it was coming
Raheem Brock of the Colts posted this on this twitter feed, then quickly took it down, saying he was hacked:
Bring it on. We’ve seen worse. We heard it all after Katrina.
Remember Chicago, 2006?

Now Aaron Broussard (who previously ruined my chances for the presidency by seceding Jefferson Parish from the Union and making me a foreign-born citizen) has resigned as president of Jefferson Parish.

Bobby Hebert
Bobby Hebert is apparently trying to lock in his position as Buddy D’s spiritual heir:
He’s already almost totally incomprehensible when he speaks. Now he is exploding in the press box.
I was never a big fan of the Cajun Cannon, but this warms my heart a little.
