I can't find it, but, there was a local furniture store that had a talking chair, appropriately named "The Chair Man" that I found hysterical. I'll keep looking for it. Was it Rosenbergs at 1825 Tulane? And lest we forget the "two heads" sprouting from one collar for LA Siding?

"10 Epic Failures of the Buch Tax Cuts"

We are faced with tomes of data that unequivocally prove how disastrous Bush leadership was to this country. But the Democrats can't convey that message successfully. What is the deal? Who are we? After the last elections, I decided that I am a minority and that I just don't understand…

Caring For Our Coast: Ideas

The Obvious1. Stop talking about reducing our addiction to oil, which we've been talking about since the early 1970's oil crisis and fund renewable energy research and implementation efforts 2. Prohibit drilling in the Gulf.

Also, I believe really need to take that "spirit of triumphing" and place it in front of our most dangerous threat as a city: the violence spreading among our youth. Let's turn off the tv and let them write another mini-series about how we, through our indomitable spirit and rich…

"This is the story of how no matter what obstacle presents itself from flooding to FEMA, to Nagin and Blanco, Bush and Rove, Army Corps of Engineers, Insurance companies and shitty contractors that the culture here finds a way to survive and thrive." New Orleaneans are resilient and our strength…

My sister, a tv producer, watched it and read my comments and replied: "I watched it.  It was really hard to follow.  That being said I completely understand what you're saying.  To me, their approach didn't feel exploitive and I hope that people will get more interested in the reality…

I hear you MitchMuses. I wish our society could "effectively examine and explain what is so important about New Orleans" through other venues than a mini series. This same medium has given Sarah Palin her own reality series.

Tremeter: General Feedback

Katrina...the Mini-SeriesI might be the only person, besides the many New Orleanians who can't afford HBO, who didn't watch the premiere of Treme. I am probably the only person who really has no interest in seeing it. I really have trouble with the idea of Katrina being used as a…

"Why some folks think a Government "take-over" of our health care is the end of the country."

My initial query was what is at the core of the revolt against the health care bill. Frank Rich in today's New York Time's addresses what he this the central issue is: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/28/opinion/28rich.html?src=me&ref=general The real source of the over-the-top rage of 2010 is the same kind of national existential reordering…

"Why some folks think a Government "take-over" of our health care is the end of the country."

Concerning yesterday's historic vote on health care, I liked this piece from Politico by Republican David Frum, former speechwriter to President George W. Bush: Waterloo March 21st, 2010 at 4:59 pm by David Frum | Conservatives and Republicans today suffered their most crushing legislative defeat since the 1960s. It’s hard…

The wars were only $800 billion.....and counting.

"Why some folks think a Government "take-over" of our health care is the end of the country."

I wish I could understand the core argument of the opposition. If the cost of health care reform is at the core, then where was the opposition to the cost of Iraq and Afghanistan wars? Why is it so easy for our country to support war and so difficult to…

"Birds & Power in the Warehouse District"

I watch these birds every day driving home from work around 4:30 in front of Blaine Kern's off Tchoupitoulas. They are magnificent. I roll down my windows and listen to them. Watching them fly to the ground, en masse, is a sight to behold. And all lined up on the…

I sure can understand being ambivalent towards Jimmy Buffet, but how could anyone dislike the dude? I have been a fan of his for over 30 years. When I was younger, I told people that if I could trade places with anyone alive, it would have been Jimmy Buffet. Sail…
