A senate committee here in Louisiana approved today a bill to ban smoking in bars and casinos. Currently, it is illegal to smoke in any buildings that serve the general public, excepting bars and casinos. This is obviously a controversial issue. On one hand you have non-smokers (and some smoker...

I'll cut to the chase: I love New Orleans. It's a beautiful city, rich in culture that no other American city can dare replicate. Nothing beats a NOLA spring day at about 74 degrees with a slight breeze. Maybe grab a snoball from Plum St. Take a ride on the streetcar and people-watch from the neutr...

I read Consumerist every day. It's a great resource on consumer rights and product and business disasters. Sometimes I wonder if they take consumer rights a bit far. No doubt you've gone a store like Home Depot, Wal-Mart, or Best Buy and made a purchase and were asked to see your receipt on th...

It's been a while since I've written anything, let alone anything politically motivated and I felt today's as good a day as any to go back to my roots. It's been about 20 days that we've been run by a new President. And things couldn't be worse. Every time I get a paycheck, a percentage of i...

So Obama won. Well, unofficially. We still need the official counts and the SCOTUS needs to verify and all that, but according to the news media (which is never, ever wrong), Obama is our next President. I'm not disappointed, nor am I ecstatic. I'm accepting the fact that he's our next President an...

A lot of talk is flying around the country right now about Socialism and about Communism, particularly in terms of Obama's platform. First, I want to make a disclaimer that I support neither Barack Obama nor John McCain. I'm a registered voter with no party affiliation, though I have contributed to...

Monday, October 13, 2008 4:11pm
As I've stated previously, and anyone who knows me already knows, I'm not voting for McCain and I'm not voting for Obama. I don't feel the need to say who I'm voting for , however, because that's not the focus of this post and doesn't matter. I'm not voting for Obama. My reasons? I don't like al...

Friday, September 12, 2008 12:28pm
Here's the deal: as far as the mass media and the majority of Americans are concerned, there are only two political parties: Republican and Democrat. Left or right. Red or blue. Mac or PC. Boxers or briefs. Chocolate or vanilla. Why must we have only two choices? Let's face it: times were simple...

Why is it that it took 2 days for MSNBC and CNN to even mention that Dennis Kucinich (my former vote for the Presidency) submitted 35 Articles of Impeachment for FOUR HOURS on CSPAN Monday? Why are the antics of Britney Spears or "Crew Misspells 'Stop' on Roadway" considered "Breaking News" when t...

Thursday, March 20, 2008 3:35pm
Everyone's talking about it. Everyone's got their comments. And I just spent 38 minutes of my time listening to it, so I thought I'd comment. Obama's Race Speech is what the media is dubbing it. Some are saying it'll be historic and be up there with some of the greats. I'd agree. Obama's spe...

I received this e-mail today. Sounds really good. If you give half a damn about New Orleans, please read it and follow the links.   Greetings! I work with a DC-based human rights group, RFK Center for Human Rights that has been partnering with ACORN Louisiana, one of the largest orgs. o...

Updated… I'm sure by now everyone's heard the story of the Jena 6. If you haven't, google it and you'll find 100s of blogs and news sites discussing it. What I don't get is why everyone — and by that I mean the literally thousands who have trekked to Jena, LA — is rallying b...

I've returned, once again. I've been happy lately. Not so much confused as I had been in the recent past. I finally began embracing life for all it can give, which, sadly, is sometimes shitty things, but often times great things. Every once in a while, a person embodies some of those great mo...

Welcome back, Me. I discovered Barack Obama's announcement of running for Presidency. His speech is really good. Here are some key points: Acknowledges that his announcement is somewhat audacious because he hasn't been in Washington very long, but as he says, he's been there "long enough t...

So, I finally have some plans for 2007. I half assed them in the last post, but here's something concrete. Eat Better Lord knows I won't cut out fast food altogether, but I seriously want to eat a little better. All I eat is shit. Go to New York This is all contingent on my raise/vacation k...

So here it is: a brand new year. 2007. So what did 2006 bring me? A new job A new girlfriend A new ex-girlfriend One less grandparent That's about it. So, based on that, 2006 was a 50/50 year. Here's my predictions for 2007: I'll go to my 5-year high school reunion I'll get promote...

 Disclaimer: Because of personal ties with one of the "suspects" this post may contain some bias. Also, due to my rage that incident is being handled how it is, I'll refrain from a Podcast because I think the many expletives you'll read will more than cover your daily allotted dosage of "fuck....

So, the US House of Representatives voted once again to keep the national minimum wage at $5.15 an hour. No reasons given — just, they didn't want to. Maybe they feel a family could survive on $5.15/hour, or that the economy is so hurt that no one could afford to pay salaries higher than t...

So Neil Young has a new album coming out called Living with War and he pretty much spells out why America's fucking up. The song that has everyone (and by 'everyone' I mean the media is making it out to be worse than it is) talking is called "Let's Impeach the President." Fox News had the lyrics po...

If you have about 80 minutes to spare and a broadband internet connection, I urge you to watch this documentary titled Loose Change. Loose Change is a documentary made by a 21-year old film student that goes where no 9-11 documentary has gone before. Michael Moore is an asshat whose only agenda...

So, yesterday, on Martin Luther King Day, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin spoke to a small inter-racial crowd of about 75. He talked about how we need to rebuild the city. He also talked about how New Orleans needs to come back as a "chocolate city" again. He urged African-Americans to come back becaus...

Saw this on CNN. They pulled Brokeback Mountain in Salt Lake City because there's a gay romance in it. Or maybe because Heath Ledger's in it. Seriously though, Utah, I have to let you in on a few things. 1) Movies are not real. They are stories. You know, like the Bible. Also like the Bib...

I had a nice Christmas. Didn't feel much like Christmas, but hey, it was nice to have it in New Orleans. Now, to the topic at hand mobile! I want honest opinions from my handful of readers on this. Let's say, you were in high school and decided to get a job. You fill out an application at ...

For this ">O'Reillymas Season, here's some things I want, a mere 109 days after Katrina: I want Ray Nagin to not be the mayor of New Orleans but be the mayor for New Orleans. I want George Bush to come through with his "better levees" promise I want my Dad and Uncle's gas station to reop...

Tuesday, November 29, 2005 9:23pm
So, Mayor Ray Nagin announced today that they would be launching free city-wide WiFi internet with download speeds of up to 512kb/s, pretty much awesome. I like this idea. Now, granted, that speed is illegal abse don state laws so it will probably drop to 128kb/s once the state of emergency is l...

I just got back from court for my speeding ticket I got back in May. Didn't take long. Calie's dad went with me and we got it taken care of. The Tropper didn't show either, which made things easier. So, for now, I'm a free man. That is, untill my evaluation at work tomorrow. Curious to see ...

I want out. I want to go back home. I can't handle this anymore. I'm trapped. I have 6 cable channels, 3 of which air the same thing 75% of the time, all of which air news and Katrina updates, save for the Home Shopping Network. I have dial-up AOL internet. I'm not in my own bed. I'm not in m...

In the wake of Hurricane Katrina we have many questions. One major question is simply “Why?” Why us? Why did this happen to the fine people of New Orleans, Louisiana? No one will ever know. That’s why it’s called a natural disaster. Sure, we could go into the science of hurricanes and how they redi...

Here's my recent posts on MySpace, syndicated here: August 31 I'm on dial-up via a free AOL disc from Wal-Mart. We're in Auburn, probably till Friday when we'll trek to Morgan City to meet up with Mae and Mark. I don't know if I have a job anymore. The Edgwater Mall in Biloxi is nonexist...

This is my city. The city I just recently fell in love with. It's now gone. Possibly 10 feet of water at my parents' house. Probably 5+ feet at my house. My sisters' house? Completely submerged. My fathers' business is probably gone as well. Everything my family has worked for is gone. ...

So, after everyone at work constantly pestering me, I picked up a copy of World of Warcraft . After installing it, I played for about 15 minutes. Instantly hooked. I've put a crap ton of hours in so far. Okay, not so much a crapton, but I've been playing a fair amount. Level 5 right now, whi...

I'm posting for the sake of posting. Apparently, I'm addicted to blogging. Dane Cook is tomorrow night. Pretty God-damned excited about that. The whole crew should be there: Christina, Gootee, Mae, Mark, Brad, Meghan, Mike, and I think Caroline? Blake? Hm. Anyways. Should be a good show, what wi...

So, Gootee and I went to the apartment the other day to do some cleaning. We pressure washed the outside of the house a good bit and even cleaned out the shed in the back, which is on its way to becoming the Lounge/Saloon/Uncle Kenny's Cabin. I took some pictures. It'll be a virtual tour of sort...

I came across " target="blank">this article today about Bush's visit to Canada. I'm over Bush being President, but this article had some good lines in it. Coolest line ever uttered by GW Bush? “I thank the few Canadians who came out to wave — with all five fingers — for their hospitality.R...

So, my right front tire's tread was going bare. Yesterday evening, it went flat. Luckily, Calie was following me from UNO, so she was there with me. I pulled onto a side street and proceeded to jack up the car and remove the tire. Everything was going just fine. But the tire was rusted or corroded ...

Things are fucked. The US is being run by a group of chimpanzees otherwise known as the Bush Administration. Republican, Democrat, Green Party, no party — whatever, you should probably give a shit. Look, this country's not being run that well, but, shit, this country's the best you've got....

Dear Terrorists: So, you guys thought it'd be cool to crash planes into buildings. Awesome. You have accomplished so much. Let's take stock: you killed about 5200 people, destryoed three whole buildings and damaged one, destroyed four commercial airliners, and now a war. The Americans — b...
