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:
Claude Mauberret, a district assessor since 1994, will abandon his bid to become New Orleans’ first citywide assessor today, according to a source close to Mauberret.Mauberret’s exit, expected to [...]

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?
I was pissed off about that then. Now, I’ve just grown used to it. I heard all the “Why rebuild in a flood [...]

Early thoughts on the New Orleans Mayoral election
I watched a little of the debate last night. There are a lot of crackpots and idiots running.
Ed Murray -Missed most of what he had to say. “I have experience” seemed to be his theme. “I have been a legislator and a leader in this city.” Yeah, and the current government totally fucking sucks.
Troy Henry [...]

Why I’m down on Reggie Bush this year
I’ve been reading twitter updates from various Saints players these days. It’s really unfortunate, because it’s a terrible reminder that these guys are mostly idiots. From Drew Brees saying that Guantanamo isn’t all that bad to Pierre Thomas’ ridiculous motivational links to Shockey’s “givin a shoutout to God”, these guys are not rocket scientists. I [...]

SuperBowl!
So New Orleans will host the 2013 Super Bowl. That’s great news, since it means that the Saints and the state reached an agreement to keep the team in New Orleans until 2025.
The last time I was in New Orleans during the Super Bowl was in 1997. Jamie and I marched up and down Bourbon [...]

You may remember that Leslie and my mom and dad were on the scene when this happened on [...]
