St. Claude Main Street has volunteers from New Jersey building a "community park" on out-of-state Board Member's property ~Shtetl Chic

~Editilla Hotellas~ I woke early this morning with my first thought: Saints Game Day! Then my second thought was Out Of Coffee. Walking across St Cloud to Mike's for coffee, my 3rd thought remains: What The Fuck Is This, illegally placed Katrina Shorthand on La State Hwy 49? And btw does anyone know this asshole below? He recognized me from the video cam I flipped the bird at after seeing the monstrosity of Katrina Shorthand above and then all their NO LOITERING signs in every window of Bywater Art Gallery. Though he knew my name, blog and twitter handle, he wouldn't give me his name while harassing me as I tried to walk to Mike's. He said he doesn't believe the Corps of Engineers floodwalls failed, maintains Katrina flooded Bywater. Says he was standing on this spot 8-29-05. I'da taken his friend's pic but he physically threatened me.
UPDATE: My many Bywater friends on twitter gave me this sociopath's name: Maurice Slaughter. The morning later would see him honking his horn continuously whilst screaming my name across St. Claude Ave, pulling over to take picks of my front door and then even accosting me in front of my home, screaming: "Bruce, I've got you! I know where you live!" Well, Maurice, you ignorant slut, Editilla gots yous by the Spades.

Ani DiFranco's plantation retreat canceled after online protests ~Alison Fensterstock
~Editilla Hotellas~ I can't stand most of Mz DiFranco's bitchy angst'filled creepola fans. Hence, I got 2 tickets to see her perform at House of Blues, Jan 4th. because I've been enjoying her music since she was relentlessly driving around the country, selling her hand-made vinyl records (large round disks with small holes) out of the trunk of her beat-up little car. She is one of the most absolutely motherfucking badass guitarist, composer and songwriter I've ever heard hands down. I've always wanted to watch her play to see what the fuck she does to her fingers to play the way she does. I want to see to her sing and cavort about all whatever the fuck she wants. I hope she does this song, one of my favs she recorded in New Orleans on the CD "to the teeth". Really, dear po'bent racist Ani fans, bless yer heart and suck it to the teeth.

Louisiana Tech opens digital trenchless technology reference room ~Shreveport Times
~The Trenchless Technology Center evolved from the Trenchless Excavation Center at Louisiana Tech, established in 1989 by Tom Iseley, with a primary focus on microtunneling and horizontal directional drilling. Expanding its reach to other trenchless technologies, the structure and name was changed to the Trenchless Technology Center in 1991.

Battle Of The Bottom Feeder: U.S., Vietnam In Catfish Fight ~Jackie Northam, NPR
~Bill Battle has been catfish farming for more than three decades. Catfish has always been popular in the South, but its popularity took off throughout the country in the 1980s. Battle says they could hardly build ponds fast enough to keep up with the demand.
But he has watched with alarm over the past decade as Vietnam has flooded the U.S. market with its own, cheaper catfish, forcing him to cut back on production. "At one time, I was 3,000 acres. Now I'm basically about 1,200 acres of water," he says.

State Seeking Lawsuit Against Corps Over MRGO ~Jeremy Alford, LaPolitics
~Editilla Brotellas~ Jesus fork me and throw away the spoon. Mark my words, this is a feign by Koch Sucker Governorcist Jindal to give the O&G industry time to consolidate their political/legislature opposition to the SLFPA-E Lawsuit. Hard ball. They have no intention of prevailing on their suit against the Corps. No. Another go at MRGO will take DECADES. No, they only want time, and taxpayer money to finish off South Louisiana. Because, without land upon which to stand we will have no States Rights. Y'heard it here first, mark my words.
I'm stunned could imagine a trial-lawyers banquet at suing over would give our Koch Sucker Governorcist Bobby Jindal any leverage over our Garret Graves' hubris is unbound, but the hand of our Governorcist Jindal is truly in'da pocket.

Get Thee Behind Me, YSFD ~moosedenied
~Have you ever witnessed an exorcism? I mean a real one, not the Bobby Jindal kind. If not, let me tell you, it's pretty fucked up.
I know this now, because it happened to me Sunday evening. Didn't even see it coming, it just kinda happened. And it was excruciating. I was fine before the game. Hell, I was fine at halftime. But shortly after that, it began. I couldn't see straight. I was unable to make sense of anything. I started to feel something chewing on my very soul. I could feel myself being completely taken over by some terrifying mix of crippling fear and blinding rage. I became completely powerless to stop myself from flailing wildly about and spewing an incessant stream of expletives as my friends repeatedly pleaded "What the fuck is wrong with you?!?" I think at some point they were convinced I was simultaneously having both an acute myocardial infarction and a complete mental breakdown. I was inconsolable. I couldn't be reasoned with. The demons had taken me by the testicles.
