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...

The HCR bill passed last night with a 219-212 vote. All 219 votes came from Democrats and of the 212 dissenters, 34 were Democrats and 178 were Republicans, meaning, not a single Republican voted for the bill. This makes me wonder: how representative of the American people is this passing? If 25...

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...

Four years is a long time — the length of a US presidential term, the amount of time we spend in high school, and the average lifespan of a computer. This Saturday will mark the 4th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. In a lot of ways, it feels like it was just a few months ago, but in other wa...

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...

2008 has been a pretty decent year. Nothing super horrific happened. No massive hurricanes made landfall, the economy's booming, we're no longer at war, and Richard Gere stopped making movies. Hey, good morning everyone! I slept pretty well, but I had the weirdest dream! It was so delightful! ...

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.

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...

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?

As Dubya runs through the final stages of his second term in office, he decided to bribe us with some cash to make us remember him for "free" money and not 8 years of fuck-ups. I figured, it's not often I happen upon $600, so, what are the options? What can we buy to stimulate the economy for $6...

On a more serious note, I've made a documentary about how far along (or how little far along) New Orleans has gotten in the last year. I filmed it over Labor Day weekend with the help of my cousin and her husband driving and navigating me through the city. The camera's a bit shakey, but I was in...

I stumbled upon this article via Fark today. It's a list of the best cities in America to find a job. New Orleans and Denver are the two worst cities. Which is quite interesting. There's literally thousands of jobs available, and nearly all are paying much more than they were pre-Katrina. On...

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...

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...

This subject is a touchy one, but I'm tired of it going unnoticed, or at least, undiscussed. Here's my beef: racism is everywhere. In the south, it's black and white. In California, is Mexican and American. In England, it's black/white and middle-eastern. Blacks claim racism from whites. Whites...

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...

Since I don't get Comedy Cental anymore, I had to download the last two episodes of "South Park." I watched them both tonight. “South Park" said exactly what I've been saying for a while about "Family Guy:" It's nothing but pop culture references, flashbacks, and mildly offensive jokes. ...

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...

I have a few topics to cover, but this one struck me as interesting. The Hummer. It's an offroad vehicle that 1 in 10 Americans own and that 1 in 10 of those actually need them. They're gas guzzlers. Hummer states 13 miles per gallon, but real world reports state closer to 10mpg. Now, this...

As you may or may not know, the 21st named storm of 2005, Wilma, is tooling around Cuba right now. Only once before, 1933, have we ever had 21 named storms. In her first 9 hours of being a hurricane, her winds went from 75mph to 100mph. Then, within two hours, the winds went from 110 to 150mph. ...

I found this gem on BoingBoing today. Good to see he's getting orders from the same place our enemies are. BTW… through the miracle of PSP Radio I can now stream my music anywhere. I'm considering setting up a radio station. Maybe using one of the PCs here at the office… Anyways...

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...

Pat Robertson Blames Katrina on Ellen How awesome is that article? I mean, first, Robertson says we should assassinate the Venezuelan President, and now he says Katrina hit Ellen's hometown of New Orleans because she's hosting the Emmy's. He also comments how the last time she hosted the Emmy'...

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...

As per Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard's promise, my mom, my dad, my sister, and I went back into Metairie to take a look at our homes and see what damage was done. We first went to my parents' house in the Elmwood Park subdivision in Metairie, just outside Kenner. The first thing we ...

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...

New Orleans and Metairie are under seige. People have armed themselves and are shooting at officers and military. They're shooting at helicopters trying to rescue people. Rescue attempts have been halted because of these assholes. People rescued from Orleans Parish being brought to Jefferson Parish...

It's amazing how many nearby states are helping us. Donating firetrucks, ambulances, officers, buses, offering discounted food and rooms… Austin and Dallas are even going to allow students to enroll in their public schools. Although, I'm not sure how many of our kids could keep up in another ...

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, this Katrina chick might be coming right to New Orleans. I may or may not remain in town. I'll probably stay, but either way, I know I'm losing power at my house as it goes out if we sneeze too hard, so I might be unavailable via the normal means (frobba.com, aim, warcraft) so as usual, tag my ...

This subject is a touchy one, but I'm tired of it going unnoticed, or at least, undiscussed. Here's my beef: racism is everywhere. In the south, it's black and white. In California, is Mexican and American. In England, it's black/white and middle-eastern. Blacks claim racism from whites. Whites...

So this guy was hiking and got lost in this lava field near an active volcano. He survived by squeezing drops of water out of the small amounts of vegetation he found. That's pretty damned metal if you ask me. And, if you check out his picture, he agrees. ...

While I'm waiting for my work to do itself for me, I figured I'd post since I'm afuckingddicted to posting here. So, like I mentioned yesterday, I picked up Weezer, Beck, and NIN's new albums. I finally gave them a listen. Beck's Guero is REALLY good. Mutations was a decent album. "Tropicalia...

Anyone who's a fan of stand-up comedy knows (or should know) Mitch Hedberg. If you don't, then you missed out on a great comedian. He died in his hotel room last night, heart attack. Supposedly heroine induced. MTV.com has a good write-up on him. 'Tis a sad day in comedy. ...

Walked the MS Walk a while back. Good ol' Uncle Lance sent me some pics. There's a few gems in there. I like the ones of me best. Click images to enlarge. Aimée and my cousin Alicia, with Mark on the side. Me and Gootee, future roommate Me, Mark, and Gootee, and Alicia's husband Ku...

Well, here it is: 2005. 2004 was alright. Can't say I had a bad year. 2005 marks my 21st year alive, as well as the 20th anniversary of the NES in the US. But the year isn't starting off well for everyone. In case you've been under a rock the past few days, there was a huge earthquake (largest i...
