~"When I read the news that the federal government was going to spend $85 billion dollars to rescue AIG from insolvency, my first response had nothing to do with the financial markets.

Haunted New Orleans Bars
Alibi Bar: 811 Iberville Street just off of Bourbon Street. The Alibi is a late-night hangout that serves 150 different kinds of beer. The staff has reported incidents of knives flying off the bar and into the floor, in an area where a man was supposedly stabbed to death some years back.Other items seem to take flight at the bar as well, and shadowy figures have occasionally been spotted by patrons. In the attic area, which is off limits to the public, chained-up slave children have been seen.
