Spring in New Orleans…
10-Feb-09Satire in New Orleans.
08-Feb-09One of the things that has most struck me – and which I never noticed before here – is the omnipresence of political discussion. There are strange things here, like truly local talk radio – not talking about Democrats and Republicans, but about New Orleans and its specific problems. There is an Onion-type newspaper, […]

08-Feb-09Maringá You really have to give it to this guy, who makes George W. Bush look like Charles Maurice de Talleyrand. Everyone knows the “Chocolate City” comment, but he offered some later treasures such as “I am a vagina-friendly mayor,” and (about New Orleans being the murder capital of the U.S.), “it isn’t good for us, but […]
