Yow !  " Mr Jindal, a Mr Tom Benson is on the line"....."Yeah, what's he want ?"...."Something about that new stadium you promised?"


 
Broke my heart . Sazerac won't be the official cocktail. Damn !
 
The suits said it would have sent the wrong message about the state.
 
And what exactly is the message we're sending now ?
 
Try this one on. "Help !"
 
Ok let's cool our grills about this Jindal for the VP slot.
 
Ya gotta master the current gig first.
 
Gotta master the "Art of the Staredown " first.

Was sad to hear the passing of George Carlin. When asked a couple  of years ago what he would want on his tombstone he responded.. " Jeez, he was here a minute ago."


 
Jefferson Parish folks may be looking at a "triple the cost" of their garbage pickup.

Happy Birthday Dianabol ! The first widely used steroid turns fifty today ! Congrats ! Ya changed the world of sports .
 
Tiger vs Rocco . Sounds like an old fight card. The smoke filled arenas where all the men wore suits and hats.

Except it's golf.
 
Tiger is only half human. Human when he's off the course. 'Cause don't tell me he is on the golf course.

But the knee surgery is kinda getting over played don't ya think ?
 
NFL and NBA guys comeback from the same injury and play.
 
Local News Anchor Norman Robinson is thanking his lucky stars. Flips his car after too many sips. Not seriously hurt. Nobody was hit or it would have been all over for him. The picture of him urinating in front of the officer plants an odd mental picture doesn't it ? Will he still be able to be taken seriously when he takes someone to task in a news story ? Stay tuned.
 
Bobby J vs the Legislators. The people say Bobby lost round one. Did he give the round to win the bigger ones ?


 
Went to the table with the other side knowing Jindal was pushing for $ 320,000 for his economic development secretary and wants 237 grand for the secretary's deputy.....oops !  State education Superintendent Paul Pastorek just got 411,000 big ones.....they also knew the Gov's salary was increased by 35,000 bucks last year ( total salary is now 130,000 ).......( that's too low for the position isn't it ?)
 
Just asking. Are all the cameras working yet ?
 
Supreme Court decesion will allow Guantanamo prisoners to challenge their captivity in the US Courts !

Obama approves. McCain says biggest mistake by the courts in history.


 
Is our legal system geared for Radical Islam court dates ?
 
Danny Daugherty gets 17 years after being caught with fifty thousand sexually explicit pictures of children.

Castrate sexual predators ? I  I say turn it into a light show while you're doing it.
 
Just thinking. When the Jefferson Parish Council banned hourly rates for hotels and motels didn't that take some of the fun out of life ?
 
Just what are the sales figures on that Viaprin Strip ?  Supposed to be able to slip 'em under your tongue and vavoom ! The best sex of your life. used to appear in the Times Pic sports section. Anyone buy any ?
 
Sen. Ann Duplessis and House Speaker Jim Tucker both agree. Kobe Bryant finally got some help from his mates in game five.
 
Bill Jefferson responds with " smooth " when asked about the pay raise for the legislators. .." and I know the value of the buck baby "


 
Sedate me.
