I’d like to personally thank all the committee members for their excellent judgment in choosing Mayor Ray Nagin for this prestigious and fitting award!

I’m sure that my fellow bloggers would love to join me!

New Orleans bloggers are so excited that we will probably attend this great event!

Sometimes Christians forget about the foolishness of the cross!

1 Corinthians 1:18: For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

From the Washington Post:

Christian Site’s Ban on ‘G’ Word Sends Homosexual to Olympics

The American Family Association obviously didn’t foresee the problems that might arise with its strict policy to always replace the word “gay” with “homosexual” on the Web site of its Christian news outlet, OneNewsNow. The group’s automated system for changing the forbidden word wound up publishing a story about a world-class sprinter named “Tyson Homosexual” who qualified this week for the Beijing Olympics.

The problem: Tyson’s real last name is Gay. Therefore, OneNewsNow’s reliable software changed the Associated Press story about Tyson Gay’s amazing Olympic qualifying trial to read this way:

Tyson Homosexual was a blur in blue, sprinting 100 meters faster than anyone ever has.

I bet Tyson gets a knew nickname!

For the last few years I’ve really enjoyed Becky’s Blog. She’s smart and funny and is always very interesting. This morning, while at the NOBTS library (which is empty BTW) I tried to read her latest post. Here’s what I got:

Guess you’ve made it big Becky! Congratulations!

One of my students turned 21 today. Here’s how she celebrated!

My students did a group project yesterday. Here are a few pics:

Obviously, there were some difficult vocabulary words!
Category Three: Those Damn Words!

I’m so proud!

I couldn’t let this one go without comment!

An Oklahoma church canceled a controversial gun giveaway for teenagers at a weekend youth conference.

Windsor Hills Baptist had planned to give away a semiautomatic assault rifle until one of the event’s organizers was unable to attend.

The church’s youth pastor, Bob Ross, said it’s a way of trying to encourage young people to attend the event. The church expected hundreds of teenagers from as far away as Canada.

Friday evening, Ross said the gun giveaway had been canceled. Pastor emeritus Jim Vineyard, who ran the event, injured his foot and wouldn’t be able to attend. The gun giveaway was also removed from the church Web site.

Wow! Thanks Greg! This is unbelievable. Above is a picture of “Dr. Ross.” Here’s the church’s website.

This Kevin James knucklehead has no idea what he’s talking about! All he can do is repeat the talking point appeasement. Sure, sometimes he brilliantly refers to Neville Chamberlain as an “appeaser.” Matthews, for once, calls an idiot for merely repeating phrases that he doesn’t understand. Matthews later explains what Chamberland did, and why it doesn’t apply to what Obama wants to do.

Having been the butt of Homan’s cruel humor, I can understand how Chris Owens might feel. Homie recently trashed one of New Orleans’ original characters for being old.

Adrastos came to the rescue, but BigEZBear did a heck of a job refuting Homan’s attempt at humor. Obviously, Homan just doesn’t get it. Damn Yankee.

What’s next Homan?

Are you going to trash Pete Fountain for not really walking in his Half-Fast Walking Club?

Are you going to make fun of Fats because he’s lost a lot of weight?

Stop the hatin’!

Here’s a great comment from BigEZBear’s post:

I followed the link to the Professor’s web page. Whatta schmo. He obviously never studied the First Rule of French Quarter Legends; If you don’t want to see it, don’t look.

The idea that Chris Owens, or anyone else, for that matter, should stay home because he doesn’t apporove, ought to get him a one-way ticket to Branson, MO, where the Bland & Timid perform 24/7, giggling the entire time, never saying the word ‘DARN’, only miming it and making a stage whispering sound. Gee willikers.

Judging by the crowd in the photographs he posted, I suggest the Professor stay home (and help Gilligan fix the boat?) and let everyone else be entertained as they see fit.

I’m curious, Professor Drudgery, how often do that many people turn out to applaud you? I couldn’t begin to guess, because, well, I’ve never even heard of you before…neither, I’m sure, has the World Famous Chris Owens.
