1775 – American Revolutionary War: British Parliament declares Massachusetts in rebellion. Yah think? Of course, today Massachusetts would mesh perfectly with Britain’s Left, and they’d have already confiscated all those dangerous guns, so the “rebellion” would be limited to snarky blog articles.

You just knew he couldn’t keep his nose out of this…
New Orleans expert gives advice on Haiti
Dr. Edward Blakely, former Executive Directory for Recovery Management for New Orleans, lectured on urban disaster recovery strategies and crisis leadership to about 20 people in a discussion hosted by the Harvard John [...]
It was a landslide for Mitch Landrieu on Saturday, his third try at becoming mayor. Flanked by his US senator sister and his former mayor dad, he thanked voters for finally giving him the post he has long sought. Landrieu won almost two-thirds of the votes, giving him a solid [...]
Saints Superbowl Victory Celebration from Cottage Films on Vimeo.
It takes some doing to kerfuffle both the readers of the Daily Kos and, say, Michelle Malkin, but Audi managed to do it during last night’s Super Bowl with its “Green Police” commercial. Here it is:
In precis: Cheap Trick sing a version of their insanely catchy “Dream Police” [...]
I’m not against the phrase Who-Dat Nation to describe Saints fans everywhere. But the phrase is a touch unoriginal — I think Raider Nation pre-dates it. More importantly, the word nation fails to describe this phenomenon. It’s world-wide. The Times of London has taken up the Who-Dat cause. And [...]
Not me, this time. The Dow Jones Industrial Average broke 10,000, going down. It’s been on a pretty good slide since Obama started his assault on banks.
I’m not surprised. Businesses need banks to operate. If you’re a business or a banker, you don’t know from one day to the [...]

S.I's Pete King looks at the kick: "Perfect. Ambush. That's the name of the Saints' onside kick, the one that continued the Colts' downfall in Super Bowl 44. The reason it's so perfect" [...]

If you didn’t have fun last night, well then you are just a sorry human being (or a Colts fan, which is about the same). Oh and guess what? It’s Mardi Gras. Boom.
I’ve been trying to get my head around the fact that the Saints actually won the Super Bowl ever since the on-sides kick heard ’round the world and Tracy Porter’s immortal pick six. It’s as if everything that happened has been repeating itself on a video loop in slow motion [...]
Richard Clarke, former counter-terrorism adviser for Clinton and G.W. Bush, calls in the New York Daily News for "the party out of power" to back off the criticism of Obama's national security policies.
It's quite difficult to focus on political news when THE SAINTS HAVE JUST WON THE SUPER BOWL!
It's not about protecting "sporting uses"; it's about
