Spot on, newilson1.

College football is a campus geography function. Tad Gormley is an unacceptable option. I attended MANY Tulane and Saints games at Tulane stadium. While the parking was not optimum, it was workable. BUILD IT!!!

College football needs to be played ON CAMPUS. The stadium is a boon and when Tulane Stadium was being used, the parking was in the neighborhoods. All was good and things worked very well. The whiners in the neighborhood need to stop whining and promote the general good. The stadium is good for the neighborhood, Tulane AND the city.

I am NO lover of defense attorneys but "Lex Rex". The questions are always "What did you know and when did you know it?" Damn his hide(Mr. Letten) if he allowed himself to sink into the fray. He is a human just like the rest of us but he has done such good work AND got the scum in our region thinking at least twice. If he is replaced, someone has some mighty big shoes to fill.

Colored people???????????????? What do colored people look like???????

Does it matter if the violence is black on black, white on white, black on white or white on black? What the hell are you talking about? This young man's civil rights were ULTIMATELY violated because he is DEAD. He can no longer exercise his civil rights because some person(s)(I will leave other descriptors to the imagination)thought they were entitled to take this young man's life!!! You ask where were the police. You want a cop on every corner, 24/7/365? That's called a POLICE STATE, knucklehead!!! Is that what you want? Nazi Germany was a police state. The Soviet Union was a police state. China is still a police state.(I've been there twice in the last 2 years on business.) If you want a police state, then you will forfeit ALL of your liberties to the state to be "safe". Read a good history book and you might assimilate some perspective. Come'on man!!!!!!!!!!!!

At the moment, gravity is a law of nature. It is not a theory but as science advances it may flop back into the theoretical. Go easy before you press your need to state your thoughts or agenda.


You do a magnificent job posting on NOLA. I very much appreciate your correspondence. As you know there are 4 steps in the scientific method:
1. Observation
2. Forming a hypothesis
3. Designing an experiment that is truly objective to either prove or disprove the formed hypothesis
4. Analyze the data and state the conclusions
The method is simple and elegant and magnificent. However, NO single human being is without bias. This bias can influence the design of the experiment and the analysis and conclusions drawn from the experiment. Depending on one's core beliefs, we have seen, that due to the desire for a specific outcome to prove what one wants in an outcome, can taint the analysis and conclusions. The search for truth has been and continues to be an arduous one. Objectivity among our species is difficult to establish and sustain. Peer pressure is a powerful motivator. And you are correct, evolution remains a scientific theory and not a scientific law because it cannot be reproduced by experimentation. The theory is a result of observation and observation only. If evolution was reproducible in the lab or the field, it would be a scientific law.

More politically correct BS. Get a clue, Ms. Stewart. You haven't been alive long enough to have been in the trenches. After you've pontificated your canned tripe, how much time do you plan on actually spending in the schools monitoring and measuring the results of your pontification? Anyone? Anyone? Challenging the principals to attain to higher levels is accomplished by leadership and modeled behavior. Not by threats from some thirty-something.

Did you engage the principals in an attempt to develop a strategy from the grass roots? NOPE! You don't want to hear any excuses. If you had any solid intuitive gifting, you should be able to discern where the talent is among the principals. You and your pitiful boiler-plated powerpoint presentation will be laughed at all the way back to the schools. You ever heard the story of the "Emperor's New Clothes"? You are an anomaly to be tolerated and will disappear leaving no trace of footprints. Just another overpaid consultant that has risen to their level of incompetency. And the kids, the leadership, the teachers and staff continue to wander in the wilderness for a lack of leadership. AWFUL.

If anything it would be Creoles. You gotta go a little further west to true Cajun country,

SINNERS is IT!!! goliath.


I LIKE!!! How about Po-Boys? Nobody around here says "poor boys". Whatcha think, girl???


I really like the "Sinners". It's pithy, just a bit edgy, and it's a wonderful play off of the Saints' name. He owns both teams now. And this really incredible person who many people just can't figure out was quoted as saying coupla thousand years ago, "Those among you without sin, cast the first stone." And all the people with the stones in their hands eventually dropped their stones and left Him and woman who they intended to stone alone. Sinners. It's ALL of us.



Hear, hear, Bovine Substance,

This poster speaks wisely and equitably. Because income is taxed perpetually by the Federal and State governments, the 10% flat tax should be implemented. LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD WHEN IT COME TO PERCENTAGES. It is time for thoughtful solutions. Not more crappy campaign rhetoric. NO MORE!!!

ANYONE who criticizes this president is a racist and a fascist. Anyone. You folks out there who continue to yelp about the president being "unfairly" taken to task are walking the dems party line. This president makes John Fitzgerald Kennedy look like the most radical of the right wing. "Ask not what your country can do for you but what can you do for your country." There are nanny states all over the world. You can give them a try and see how well you like how their business is conducted.

Spot on, nola1209. What a clown!!!

Great points, Rum.

Gerry, what qualifies you to write for the TP? What kind of credentials do you have? Does the TP REALLY pay you for your columns? Many of your columns amount to nothing more than drivel. Research your topic, get some solid perspective and background and then give it a shot.
