2Millionth Web Log: Friday Cat Blogging With PhotoshopFrom Album3...in Oslo. ...

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 19:00:00 -0500

Friday Cat Blogging With PhotoshopFrom Album3...in Oslo. Just my .00000002 cents worth re: the prize, the speech. I won't defend either war; that said, I appreciated Obama's assumption that we were/are mature enough to listen to a reasoned argument. I knew there were issues where he'd disappoint progressives -- Obama's' [...]

And your final active list for the 2010 campaign season are in.

Rampant speculation and scuttlebutt to follow. Me, I got nothing right now. Try the usual places. And we'll see you at the races.' [...]

We Could Be Famous: End of Qualifying

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 17:35:00 -0500

Eddie Sapir is indeed qualified to run at-large. So is Darren Mire, of the BOLD political machine. That's going to be interesting. I'll update this post later with more details and thoughts if I can.' [...]

Michael Homan: Rome and Dr Marion Nelson

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 17:00:00 -0500

I just finished watching the first season of HBO's series Rome. It's brilliant, and it reminded me of one of my favorite teachers at the University of Nebraska at Omaha: Dr Marion Nelson. Back in the late 1980's I took several courses from her, two of which were Roman Republic [...]

Your Right Hand Thief: Conservative "Mock Mitch" campaign heats up

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 14:53:00 -0500

Number of comments: 7
Avman has a post up at the Louisiana Conservative criticizing Mitch Landrieu. He takes Mitch to task for announcing his candidacy after an event at Cafe Reconcile. Admittedly that was probably a hasty error on Mitch's part. But then, in typically over-the-top fashion, Avman implies that liberal Landrieu supporters [...]

Sapir will qualify for At Large this afternoon.

Upon hearing that one of my online peeps said, "Jesus, who is digging up all these political zombies and convincing them to run?"

It's the Zombie election...that has a nice ring to it, methinks. [...]

Library Chronicles: Which of these games is really "The Biggest Game in History" OR An "Inconceivable" Comeback

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 14:00:00 -0500

Before we get started here, we'd like to take a moment to welcome Rob Couhig into the 2009 Mayor's race. For those of you still keeping up with your Race to the Punchline (TM: WCBF) scorecard, Couhig became the 7th personality to officially declare a candidacy last week.[...]

Your Right Hand Thief: Nagin crony to be indicted

The Zombie was hinting about this earlier in the week. He gives us a run-down, for those keeping score at home:

This marks the third set of indictments in the past two months of cronies and companies [associated] with Ray Nagin: Meffert/St. Pierre, HSOA/Frank Fradella, and now [...]

The G Bitch Spot: Choice, Choice, Choice and Choice: 4

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 11:12:50 -0500

…The same themes emerge in the fourth part of Sarah Carr’s series: “misinformation,” application woes, multiple meetings and deadlines, the haves and the have-not-so-muches.

[Michelle] Mosby, who lives in Central City, wasn’t complaining about the changes, exactly. She liked the idea of the new charter “prep schools” which she believed had [...]

Blackened Out: A Rant (Mostly Directed at Myself)

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 09:16:00 -0500

Number of comments: 10
Let's get one thing straight: Talking about things like food, wine, and restaurants is by nature a very opinionated and biased subject. The things you like are not going to be the same as the things I like. And that is a really good thing. We don't judge, unlike Legend' [...]

Vicky Moos: Let's blame the boomers (I'm on the extreme tail end and didn't get any of the benefits they're crowing about)

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 08:38:00 -0500

Just look these posts. Once again, we’re whipped into a frenzy against each other. Boomers are selfish. Generations X and Y are slackers. We’re never going to turn the US around unless we all work with each other. The blame should be directed to the corporations who have hijacked this [...]

Vicky Moos: Teenagers already didn't pay attention...

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 07:47:00 -0500

...but then we totally destroyed their attention spans with cell phones and texting. I'm beginning to think that laws need to be made against cell phones, with them available only for emergencies (like it was back at the beginning, because service was so expensive). With the advent of cell phones,' [...]

Odd Bits of Life in New Orleans: Stockings Hanging by the …. Fire!

While this is not as visually clever or obscene as some Hostilidays entries, if is so personally satisfying and damn funny I may have to retire from the field on this. I’m too lazy this year to put up links to the competition, but hey that’s what is there Google [...]
