British Petroleum enters debt ceiling fray, demands spending cuts nationwide…

In a shocking development affecting both the Gulf Coast and the nation, BP joined in with GOP finger pointing and now argue if they are required to tighten their belts any further, the same goes for the rest of the Gulf too. The oil company argued their case in a 29 page document made public Friday and filed with both the GCCF and the White House. The company says the free … Continue reading British Petroleum enters debt ceiling fray, demands spending cuts nationwide…

Your Musical Interlude…July 4th, Ani DiFranco, Blue Nile, British Petroleum, Barack Obama…

I don’t celebrate July 4th. I want to, and hope I will be able to again someday…but not yet… I have this opinion, that if our founding fathers were walking the days, out and about, they would be appalled at what they see: simply put, the unnecessary suffering of so many, to benefit the simple greed of the few, a government run amok, a modern … Continue reading Your Musical Interlude…July 4th, Ani DiFranco, Blue Nile, British Petroleum, Barack Obama…

My first vote in 20 years…

I haven’t voted in an election, local, state or national since the year 1992. I voted for Clinton. I felt it was important at the time to do so as I was convinced the GOP was working on destroying the things I felt were important to not only save, but bolster…but then Clinton went and did all the destroying: bombing Iraq, depleting the social safety net, … Continue reading My first vote in 20 years…

Your Musical Interlude…Dax Riggs, MRB’s, Oysters and Feinberg…

Your Musical Interlude… Dax Riggs – I Hear Satan Last year, I was hanging out at MRB’s on St. Phillip, primarily because it was one of the few bars I could find in New Orleans that had hockey on their several televisions, but also ’cause back when I lived round town, few years back I was good friends with one of the bartenders, the … Continue reading Your Musical Interlude…Dax Riggs, MRB’s, Oysters and Feinberg…

A Baton Rouge review from the New Orleans Assassin…

Hello… Yes, I still kill people for a living. Though I’m thinking of starting my own charter school, but more about that later… I know its been a while, and I might apologize if I believed in such sentiment but I don’t…so, another legislative session comes and goes, and I’m caught in the city in that early summer dry spell…why do contract hits slow down … Continue reading A Baton Rouge review from the New Orleans Assassin…

A Message From Rousseau…

“Usurpers always choose troubled times to enact, in the atmosphere of general panic, laws which the public would never adopt when passions were cool. One of the surest ways of distinguishing the work of a lawgiver from that of a tyrant is to note the moment he chooses to give a people its constitution.” – Jean Jacques Rousseau An economic crisis is created by Bush … Continue reading A Message From Rousseau…

What me, worry? With privacy rights, Obama worse than Bush…

So yeah, the FBI is getting set to get all new powers…which could be used to make past illegal activity by the FBI now legal, and to make new activity by the FBI as legal as they want it to be… But one still might ask: but if you’re doing nothing wrong why worry about it? The simple answer is these new rules would allow … Continue reading What me, worry? With privacy rights, Obama worse than Bush…

Economy versus environment…the oil spill fine…

I know I’m cynical, I get it…I admit it, but when you spend any time reading the science and the journals and watching the documentaries about climate change, fracking, even peak oil…hope ceases to really be your specialty… It’s more two parts grim reality, one part enjoy the party while you can. Anyways, this might explain why, when it comes to the money, the between … Continue reading Economy versus environment…the oil spill fine…

Wanna know why the Federal Reserve is bad for everyone? Well, everyone but that oh so fortunate top 1%… Enjoy! Yes, its thirty minutes long…but how many sitcoms have you watched in your life?
