Statement from WhoDat, Inc. ~New Orleans.com
~Information has been written and broadcast publicly that the NFL has issued cease and desist letters stating that THEY own “WhoDat?”. That is not a true statement, and it is important to note that documentation exists for this and all other statements made here.
Throughout, please keep in mind that trade mark ownership is established by ‘first-use’, not by registration.
First, “WhoDat?” Inc. is a company owned by two brothers born and raised within just a few miles of the Super Dome - Sal and Steve Monistere (pr. Monastery). They are big Saints fans and were there for the first exciting kickoff in 1967, Dempsey’s historic field goal, and as season ticket holders, there for all the ups and downs.
Second, the Monisteres have expressed that they deeply regret the fact that New Orleans and particularly its small business owners have been subjected to the wrath of this self-proclaimed 800 pound gorilla from New York City. ~Read More

Levee failure and floodwall concerns in Kenner, East Jeff as Citizens call Corps Out
~Residents who said their homes are already being damaged by vibrations coming from pre-construction pile-driving west of the existing floodwall, as well as the ongoing levee enlargements now under way on all five reaches that make up this lakefront levee. Not only does the corps not plan to videotape or otherwise document the condition of homes in neighborhoods adjacent to the floodwall, the corps cannot be held liable for vibration damage. Instead, residents must turn to contractors who do the work and the state Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, which is the corps' "local partner" on all hurricane flood reduction system projects. The corps was asked to rethink that process.

Mardi Gras 1st, Krewe du Vieux and new Krewe Delusions on Saturday~Molly Reid
~Judging from some of this year's sub-krewe themes --"Such A NightMayor, " "Jindal Drops The Pelican's Briefs, " "Bonfire of the Inanities"-- and the some of the year's top headlines -- the conviction of both Bill Jefferson, former Mandeville Mayor Eddie Price's scrapes with the law, former city technology chief Greg Meffert's alleged kickback scheme -- the tradition of irreverence (and, sometimes, utter inappropriateness) will continue.
Consider this statement included in the krewe's annual newsletter, "Le Monde de Merde," which describes the krewe as "dedicated to the historical and traditional concept of a Mardi Gras parade as a venue for individual creative expression and satirical comment. We believe in exposing the world to the true nature of Mardi Gras -- and in exposing ourselves to the world."
