Jindal will also have to be prepared to wade through the 24 years' worth of civil suits, injunctions, and ordinances that New Orleans street performers (read Phychics) have amassed in our struggle to remain an entity in the city at all. He will find that, short of suing Superior court, he will be unable to "tax" people who are not engaged in a ( Read more... )

I do not enjoy government. I find that it hinders the individual. Rather than the original intent of governing entities, being to mediate, protect, represent, and remedy, the institution of "Government" has since become a crutch for the lazy and weak, an excuse for the futile, and an oppressor for the eclectic.

My first thought was, THIS IS AWESOME.
But then I'm like, Aww, leave the man alone... It's been ten months. We've already wrapped our minds around it. We've already lost the season.

I suspect it is not OVER... But now we have more time to research and prepare... and not have to panic through the Mardi-Bowl season. Win!

I remember when I got laid off three weeks before Yule one time. I didn't speak to Chicky again for like nine years.

THAT being said, I'm gonna be buying a ( Read more... )

So, this morning on the Weather Channel, they were doing this piece on Obama visiting New York; how his visit gave hope to the survivors of The Superstorm™. Like this one woman, who was shown standing inside her now gutted home. Looked pretty clean to me, no Black Mold that I could see. Maybe that's a September thing. Or maybe their mold is still ( Read more... )

Glad I was able to help.
Good luck this term.

Now; to anybody who would engage me in any president-related discussion this next four years, whether in support or criticism of my vote, or in query as to how I may or may not believe my chosen candidate is doing his job or not....
