GDI JP

On the eve of the red light cameras getting wired in Orleans Parish, I'm pretty sure I got popped by one of the JP cameras at the intersection of Causeway and 17th. The flashes of light were a dead giveaway. However, I did enter the intersection while the light was yellow going maybe 5 mph over the speed limit. Do they actually send a ticket for that?

Fuckin' skanks.

Another reason to love George Clooney

In continuing with my post on lookalikes, I just stumbled across this 1990 pic of George Clooney. OMG - he looks like my boyfriend SDT!

Crowded House

After February's low attendance of Politics with a Punch, Chris Rose published an article in the T-P about the show's history and this Thursday's Sixth Anniversary show.

Looks like some of us will have to throw some elbows to get our tables this week. Jeffrey, this is your heads up.

It would be pretty sweet if Senator Landrieu actually showed up to be a panel member.

It's all in the family

DON'T VOTE FOR OBAMA HE IS RELATED TO BUSH!!

Clinton, who is of French-Canadian descent on her mother's side, is also a distant cousin of singers Madonna, Celine Dion and Alanis Morissette. Obama, the son of a white woman from Kansas and a black man from Kenya, can call six U.S. presidents, including George W. Bush, his cousins. McCain is a sixth cousin of first lady Laura Bush.

- Yahoo! News

Knowing that HRC is related to Alanis Morissette AKA God just solidified my support for her. Just so you know.

If you squint, he looks like Barry!

While in the Houston airport over the weekend, I saw a gentleman arriving at my gate who looked just like Barack Obama. He was even dressed like him, suit and trenchcoat, clearly a businessman on a business trip. It must be so fun to look so much like a celebrity, especially in such an awesome place for people-watching as an airport. He didn't have on a wedding ring, so I'm sure he pulls lots of ladies.


And apparently there's money to be made if you're a Barry O lookalike: Barack Obama Lookalike and Impersonator.

What sound does an elephant make?

On the drive down the Causeway to work this morning...



* Sorry for the poor photo quality, I noticed it at the red light and just as I was snapping a phone pic the light changed.

changing lanes

Even though I know how to change my own tire, it's incidents like this that make me glad to be a member of AAA -- Two shot this morning on I-10 while changing a tire.

I mean, I even think twice about giving the finger to drivers in my maddening road rage ever since a friend of mine was followed home, but this article makes it sound like the shooter was on foot. Wow. What is a person to do?

it's raining....

These YouTube videos are getting out of control....



I can't tell if it's an attempt at comedy or cuteness for McCain.
