11-0! Are You Kidding Me?

Posted on November 30th, 2009 by macaoidh

Tonight’s 38-17 shellacking of New England was a major milestone in the history of the New Orleans Saints. Not only is this team 11-0, which is far and away the best start in club history, but they’re gaining steam. And while this isn’t quite a perfect team, it’s awfully close. Tonight’s numbers tell the story [...]

Picayune Outlines Vitter-Melancon Contrast

Posted on November 30th, 2009 by macaoidh

Next year’s Senate race between David Vitter and Charlie Melancon hasn’t really gotten started yet. But as a piece by Bruce Alpert in today’s Times-Picayune illustrates, the voters will have a rare opportunity to make a clear choice between not just competing ideologies but competing styles of the two. As Alpert writes:

Newsweek: You’re A Sexist If You Object To Landrieu’s Louisiana Purchase

Posted on November 29th, 2009 by macaoidh

I don’t read Newsweek often. Truth be told, I don’t read Newsweek at all. That publication consists mostly of leftist propaganda disguised as news, and after the hit job the editorial staff did on Sarah Palin on their front cover earlier this month I’m actively rooting for its financial immolation. So I don’t pretend to [...]

Roemer’s Ideas A Step In Right Direction

Posted on November 28th, 2009 by macaoidh

Lost amid the Thanksgiving preparations is a topic which surfaced over a week ago – namely, the suggestion by Board of Elementary and Secondary Education member Chas Roemer that Louisiana’s Department of Education be shut down, reorganized and reopened with a different business model. Roemer’s suggestion was made in a letter to state treasurer John Kennedy [...]

Quote/Video Of The Day

Posted on November 27th, 2009 by macaoidh

“Climategate has finally given us the chance to express openly what many of us secretly felt all along: “AGW is about raising taxes; increasing state control; about a few canny hucksters who’ve leapt on the bandwagon fleecing us rotten with their taxpayer subsidised windfarms and their carbon-trading; about the sour, anti-capitalist impulses of sandal-wearing vegans [...]

Obama: Happy Eid-ul-Adha!

Posted on November 27th, 2009 by macaoidh

From our president today… “Michelle and I would like to send our best wishes to all those performing Hajj this year, and to Muslims in America and around the world who are celebrating Eid-ul-Adha. The rituals of Hajj and Eid-ul-Adha both serve as reminders of the shared Abrahamic roots of three of the world’s major [...]

Since Everybody Is Talking About LSU Football…

Posted on November 24th, 2009 by macaoidh

…I guess it qualifies as news and as such probably rates a mention in here. Those among the Hayride’s readership who have followed my writing for years know that I’ve had a hand in a couple of journalistic ventures where LSU sports was concerned. The first one was Purple & Gold Magazine, which I published [...]

Recalling Mary Landrieu?

Posted on November 22nd, 2009 by macaoidh

In light of yesterday’s display of political prostitution by U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-Storyville), which is being dubbed The Louisiana Purchase by some in the media, one wonders whether this isn’t the perfect time to launch a recall effort. Most of the time, a recall is a lousy idea. The time and effort it takes [...]

Anthropogenic Global Warming Hacked to Death?

Posted on November 20th, 2009 by macaoidh

This is a story just leaking out, but it’s possible the hacking of the Hadley Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in Britain might end up being the largest worldwide news event of the year. If the preliminary indications of the take from this hack – which might actually be an inside [...]
