The Dixie Bitch?

You know, I didn't want to say anything about this, but since Haney posted this story about Councilwoman Stacy Head displaying her own brand of southern hospitality to a couple of visiting Jazzfesters....I decided to go ahead and post this shot I got of her at the Fairgrounds.  

 






















She posed for this shot then downed her Busch Lite, burped, and threw the can at me....coozie and all.

Absolutely charming...ain't she?

My first FYYFF of the year

I wasn't going to mention this idiot's blog post because it's so ostentatious it doesn't even deserve attention.  

But then I made the mistake of engaging one of his freak readers on the comment section....and well...this guy is so weird it's become entertaining....so  if you have 10 minutes to waste, here it is:

It's Springtime for Hissssssters...

...and that means the subjects of my dominion have awoken from their long, winter slumber and began to slither around looking for action. It's mating season in the serpent world and it's every snake for himself. If my Loa is correct, there are some local vipers scheduled to get fucked in the coming week.

Curious? I'd like to expound but these premonitions can be difficult to tune in.

unless you know where to look

I love the smell of venom in the morning.

Ya heard me

I have heard from a ..... hmmmm...... somewhat reputable source that New Orleans favorite G-Man, Jim Bernazanni, will hang up his badge in 2010 to run for office.

In case you haven't figured out which office here are your hints:

1. City position

2. An idiot is currently holding the offfice

3. The idiot's name is Nagin

He's been making the rounds at the Wednesday concerts in the square...shaking babies and kissing hands. If you see him out there...put him on the spot.

I love Jim Rogers

He nails The Federal Reserve's stupidity in this interview:

Jim Rogers: More Pain for the Greenback, and the Failure of the Federal Reserve


"It's outrageous that Bernanke's sitting there. You know, I've read the Federal Reserve Act. Nowhere does it say [the central bank is] supposed to bail out investment banks! Nowhere does it say you should bail out Wall Street. Their mandate was to have a sound currency, and then it was later expanded to have employment – to help employment. But nowhere does it say: ‘Bail out investment banks.'

Investment banks have been failing for centuries. The world hasn't come to an end… even when investment banks have failed. They just caused a setback, and so what!

Recessions are usually good for the system. They clean out the excesses. And my God there've been excesses on Wall Street in the past 10 years. You don't see a bunch of 29-year-old cotton farmers driving around in Maseratis and flying in private planes to exotic locations. Well, you see a lot of guys on Wall Street doing that.

And the idea that we're now supposed to bail them out is ludicrous! I don't see any of those guys sending their bonus checks back.

Huge amounts were made in the debt markets. We now know [that money was made] at least incorrectly, if not fraudulently, and yet, now we're supposed to bail them out. It's bad enough they get to keep their money. But the outrageous part is that it will cost more to try to prevent a recession than to have the recession.

We have safety nets in place, now. We did in the '70s in America and the Japanese did in the '90s. I think there's good evidence that it will cost more to try to prevent the problems than to have the problems."


Just read the whole interview...it's very important if you want to understand just how serious the economic crisis we're facing really is.

The Federal Reserve needs to be abolished....period. They are bailing out Wall Street at the expense of middle American taxpayers, while systematically destroying the dollar and hence our country's wealth.

Think about that as you're meeting your April 15th deadline.

The Federal Reserve is neither....it's not federal and it's not a reserve...and we are not truly a free country until we banish these bastards.
