Duh dumbass its fricking December 17th. You can't be from New Orleans if you don't know when The Bayou Classic is.

Black Friday has an entirely different meaning in Nola.


That and July 4th weekend. Holy shite. Places actually close their doors for those weekends because they'd rather lose that money than deal with the bullshite.

Wasn't the city having issues paying police and fire fighters? Where's the money coming from?

not even remotely true.

This on the very day that the city council and mayor made a laughing stock of its law abiding, tax paying constituency. Careful you don't make another reason people will not want to take their family to New Orleans and spend their money. New Orleans is already a little Chicago anyway.

I'll never understand the mentality of some politicians, piss off the folks paying the bills to placate a handful of parasites.

Hmmmmmmm.......Bold strategy Cotton, let's see how it turns out.

And support the paper mayor's delusion that he's contributing to the greater good of society, instead of the reality that he's created this divisive wedge issue that will tremendously strain racial relations and end his political career.

It was a muggy December day in New Orleans, overly hot for the season, but not uncommon to the locals. The air hung heavy and damp as Rhy'quell finished mugging his third tourist of the day. A fine haul of 43 dollars, an iPhone and some jewelry had been well worth beating the middle aged New York native about the face with his pistol.

He left her whimpering in the alley as he grabbed the front of his sagging pants and walked away. He overheard the sounds of the local news through an open window. Apparently the city council had voted to remove the Confederate statues in the city, to a raucous applause from the assembled natives. Rhy'quell mused on how the city was finally doing something to combat the terrible problems of New Orleans, and rounded the corner with a golden smile flashing across his lips.

He stood in the looming shadow. The sun no longer reflected across his grill. He raised his gaze slowly across the grey-green boots. The trunks of metal legs. The oxidized overcoat.

His brown eyes beheld a bronze beard a foot above his head. Metal eyes met his gaze, empty and unfeeling, silently judging him. His own grew wide with confusion and fear, followed by anger. His gun came up perpendicular to the sidewalk and his mouth formed into a sneer as he grabbed his crotch with one hand and fired his pistol into the obstacle in his path, each report accompanied by curse from his lips.

The bullets tore through the figure, punching neat holes through the first layer of metal skin and rattling around as they struck the other side, their velocity not enough to carry them through.

The mouth never moved. The eyes never blinked. Rhy'quell's sneer turned to a trembling of lips as the golem swung its sword in a terrible arc. The blade made thick, wet sound as it sliced through his neck in a font of blood. His dreadlocks fanned out in all directions as his head rolled into the gutter, like dice in a back alley game.

The General stood sentinel straight, the red gore dripping from his saber. Seems he had his work cut out for him. But after all, it was they that had wanted him to come down...

I'm truly shocked everyday on the dumb shite that's allowed to occur.

Maybe ole mitch should deal with the problem that companies downtown need to hire private security details because their workers aren't safe going to and from their parking garages in the morning.

Most ordinances the Mayor takes days or even weeks to sign. Not this one!

I'm glad Head is isn't part of that race baiting mob picture.

I get mad on I-10 when driving past PGT Beauregard's tomb in Metairie Cemetery. We should have him disinterred and shipped out.
