Hey everybody… Yeah, I’m still around, preparing to launch back into things on the 1st of the year, but I couldn’t let the days get by without some holiday wishes to all in New Orleans and along the Gulf Coast… Best to everybody this season…Christmas, New Years and everything else everybody celebrates… Me, I’ll be driving even further north than I already am to spend … Continue reading Merry Christmas all…
So, been away for a little while…well, more than a little while… I feel like I’ve been away for six weeks or so, even though I’ve written a number of things up here during that time…guess one could say I felt like I was running out of things to say, or maybe trying too hard to say what I think people want me to say… … Continue reading I’m working on it…
So sayeth the self-celebrated: “I am constantly pressured to do the right thing,” Feinberg said. “You know, the shrimpers, the crabbers, the oystermen and the GCCF, they all say we need to do more, and that they are still at risk. On the other hand, I get correspondence from BP, saying you should not give two times, or four times. In fact they say that … Continue reading In case you missed the martyr…
Did you hear an internet group in Michigan has raised over $63,000 dollars to put a statue of Robocop in downtown Detroit? No, I’m not kidding. It’s completely true, and a fantastic idea. If not familiar with the Robocop legend, allow me to so inform: Robocop is a cyborg police officer who not only was a one man wrecking crew in stopping crime all over Old Detroit, but he was a robot … Continue reading Saints vs. Detroit, Robocop and Nazi Sympathizers…
Ed. Note…well, that statement was certainly painful, especially to Mike Smith… The Atlanta Falcons… Hate them. Really hate them, how can you not? Their quarterback has a nickname and the look of some asshole in Top Gun, one of the worst freaking films ever made, and I say that thinking Val Kilmer is pretty cool overall…little bloated these days, but there was a time I’d watch … Continue reading Saints vs Atlanta – Do it for Val!
I know I said I’d be back on Monday, so I’m late, my bad… been doing some thinking this week about the website, reading the news, hanging out, taking a break…etc…and the one thing I can’t seem to get out of my head is this… The number of people from Transocean, Halliburton and British Petroleum who have spent a day in jail as a result … Continue reading A day late and a dollar short…
So, four months from now on March 1st of 2012, I am finally out of the Great White North and heading back to what I thought might be New Orleans. Would certainly make sense with all the writing I do on this site that this town is where my interests lie, and it is, but the damned economy…here’s the thing that keeps throwing rocks in … Continue reading Be back Monday…the trouble with the (personal) economy…
So, this week the New Orleans Saints go into St. Louis to play the “Rams.” Ha…sorry, still can’t get over the whole St. Louis Cardinals football team winding up in Arizona, and Los Angeles Rams winding up in St. Louis thing…it would seem to me, why not just have Arizona become the Rams and the Rams become the Cardinals so balance can again be restored … Continue reading Saints vs. St. Louis, Lou Brock, Mark McGwire and family…
Back in August, US District Court Judge Carl Barbier issued a ruling allowing for claimants in the B1 Bundle to sue British Petroleum for punitive damages, a ruling BP appealed. “I have given this a lot of thought,” Barbier said about BP’s appeal at the end of last week… Denied. The B1 bundle includes all claims for private or “nongovernmental economic loss and property damages…” … Continue reading Judge Barbier denies BP appeal…
Sometimes, I think I like the drink a little too much. ‘Tis true…back in my early to mid-twenties, there was no question about it and during the time I actually lived in New Orleans, again…no doubt. I liked a pitcher or two, perhaps a bit more than I should have but hell, in New Orleans I was taking a break from my social work career … Continue reading Saints vs. Indianapolis, Curtis Painter, Sobriety and Zzzzzz….
