Cd3 and the kindness of neighbors

2009-07-17T21:11:00.004-05:00

Only 3.5, AM. But most of it was in a downpour. That's kind of caveman, right?

One of the the neighbors from next door (the severely mentally disabled neighbors) came and knocked on the door tonite and asked if I was ok because he hadn't seen me out on the porch much lately. This was the second time he has ever knocked on the door in the 4+ years I've lived here. It was also simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking.

Gracias, Cedric.

Caveman

Today is Day 1 of caveman. We'll see how it goes.

Is there a doctor in the house?

2008-05-19T09:14:00.004-05:00

Because Sheriff Gusman has clearly gone insane, stating, in reference to his jail's abysmal health care, "Although we've been through a lot, we are still providing great quality health care that exceeds community standards"

America, a beacon of liberty

Well, at least one of you is.....

A Baton Rouge jury has sentenced the mentally retarded Michael Bell to death, which should provide for a lenghty and interesting appellate process.

According to Dr. Donald Hoppe, the entire courtroom is retarded, at least if you believe in logic. After determining the defendant had an IQ of 50 (well below the accepted standard for MR), Dr. Hoppe changes his mind based on the fact that Bell asked the jury some questions and presented an idiotic defense alleging a victim had shot the other 5, then herself.

It's about time

I'm glad to see this guy get busted. I don't much care about whether or not he was tipping off a drug user to a potential raid, because I don't much care about whether or not somebody uses drugs. But lying cops are bad, mmkay? Maybe he'll ultimately be acquitted of this one, but he sure aint an innocent.

I would say this makes me sick...

2008-04-17T16:54:00.002-05:00

But that's not fair to the 300,000 men and women suffering from major depression or ptsd as a result of this mindless debacle in Iraq.

They're sharpening needles in Texas

Guess the unofficial moratorium is over.

Mixed Feelings

2008-04-11T11:44:00.003-05:00

The kid charged with murdering Dinneral Shavers has been acquitted. I've got mixed feelings about this. Clearly, our community suffered a geniune loss when Shavers died. On the other hand, knowing how the NOPD and the Orleans Parish DA works, I've absolutely no confidence that David Bonds was a legit suspect. I know both the defense attorneys involved (Boggs and Garvey) and I know they did a hell of a job representing their client. And I've got to hand it to the jurors who made what, to anyone who cares about this city and who cares about justice to the accused as well as the aggrieved, an agonizing decision.

Follow up, maybe....hopefully just sad coincidence

You can't be serious

In Louisiana, the government can imprison an individual, in felony cases, up to 60 days (the ever useful legislature is trying to make it even longer) without even filing formal charges. Now, the supremely disfunctional Orleans Parish District Attorney's office has decided to let the Orleans Criminal Sheriff "randomly" select a small number of cases to be screened more quickly.

This is some kind of terrible joke, right? Never mind the Sheriff gets paid based on the number of inmates he houses. That's right, this guy. Great thinking, Ms. DA.

By the way, for more fun information on the Orleans Parish Criminal Sheriff, check out this report.

Only 18th?

2008-04-10T09:12:00.003-05:00

According to this, Louisiana ranks only 18th in the nation in terms of states with the largest disparity between rich and poor, even though the top fifth earns on average $98,000 more than the bottom fifth. But if you really want your heart warmed, read the predictably callous and self-congratulating comments following the article.

Of the first day. Don't worry, there is no way I can keep up this kind of prolific output. I'm messing around, trying to figure out how to add links/labels and whatnot. What if I put http://www.nola.com/? Ok, well that should work easily enough. But what about time's pic?

So that appears to be working. Like most posts, I anticipate this one being an exercise in self absorption.But I don't think i can even properly spell that, wo who am I to talk?
