@AKASmith

You're starting to make a cynic believe that there is such a thing as an intensely cerebral church in America. I don't yet have the faith, but maybe I'll work on it.

@AKASmith

Enjoyed the joke. There is usually an element of truth in humor. Especially good humor. Thanks.

Really I don't know about "chicks up" but your gig's up. It was up months ago.

"Summer of slime"

Say that's catchy J. Walsh, when you're in the slime business you know all there is to know about slime. Reminds me of that Frank Zappa song "I'm the oozze that oozzes through your TV set."

The sequel can be called "The Son of Slime."

I don't envy your occupation. At all.

In other news Obama is according to Walsh "admirable."

@jeb

You can star in "The Slime Strikes Back." You're as sharp as a stick of butter.

Just hash out the horseshit however you can...there's all day.

Is that your pundit script for this month or the next? Better talk to your editor first.

I see your point, but after two Bush terms America is beyond the Me Generation, and might be on course with McCain for the Moron Generation.

A "whip team?" Use caution.

Original article: One devastating home movie

I was in Hammond, LA. when Katrina hit

Hammond is about 45 minite's drive from N.O. Even in Hammond where the damage was not nearly as extensive, the national guard was keeping order, gas station owners had pistols tucked into their jeans, and any news from N.O. was passed around by word of mouth. The electricity stayed out for about 3 weeks. This really sounds like an excellant movie. Probably a good deal more thorough and involving than some of the other local docs that were made and are good, but mostly rely on stock footage from CNN to tell the story of one hellacious hurricane. This sounds like it has more of a sense of personal immediacy about what it was all like. It's about time this tale came out without all the confection, because believe me, even on the outskirts, it was all like Mad Max Beyond Superdome. People scabbling for survival, and lots of them not giving a shit.

I just don't think Clinton and Obama would gel. She's not gonna be his pick.

@ Ha!

I remember Harriet Christian. She was more like Harriet un-Christian. That woman had all of the generous spirit and grace of a turd.

@Mabelle

Obama's a "rock star?" I 'll request that he sing "Love Me Tender" just for you.

@jebldmm

Gee jeb, for somebody who wasn't anywhere near Orleans Parish when the storm came, you seem to be quite the authority on Katrina. Thanks also for the free insights into your tour of South Africa for whatever relevence they may have to New Orleans. That sociology course you took in community college is really paying off.

"...And she'll have fun fun fun till her daddy...

...takes the slime machine away."

@AKASmith

That's what most of my friends are saying. They're saying it's time to take off the boxing gloves and brandish the brass knuckles.

@Santos

I dunno. After I saw that livid monster in my parent's living room, I felt she had cooked Clinton.

I read the news this morning.

First there was a report of a serious brain aneurism, and then later in the day her death was announced. I know very little about this lady, but it sounds like she died relatively young.
