Vitter Crushing Melancon By 24 Points Thanks To Recent Events

Posted on February 12th, 2010 by macaoidh

Three highly-publicized issues involving U.S. Sen. David Vitter in the past two weeks, along with an increasing momentum for Republican and conservative candidates nationwide, seem to be driving a major surge for Louisiana’s junior senator in his bid for re-election this fall, as a new Rasmussen poll has Vitter scorching his Democrat opponent, Congressman Charlie Melancon, [...]

Oscar’s Thoughts On The Super Bowl, Etc.

Posted on February 8th, 2010 by Oscar

This column marks the debut of Oscar, TheHayride.com’s resident voracious rodent and all-around pestilential influence. We want it known from the beginning that any relationship between what the little guy says and the editorial position of TheHayride.com staff is completely coincidental – were it not for certain contractual and/or economic factors unfortunately in play we [...]

Thoughts On The Unthinkable

Posted on February 7th, 2010 by macaoidh

It’s hard to form coherent thoughts when one is absolutely, completely numb.
The Saints winning the Super Bowl, as happened tonight, is that kind of event. Numbing. Until this year it was never even allowed, it seemed, for Saints fans to seriously think of their team as a champion.
Even the national media types covering the Super [...]

Saints’ Super Bowl Trip Hopefully Washes Away Katrina Pity

Posted on February 6th, 2010 by macaoidh

In the two weeks since the New Orleans Saints won the NFC Championship Game and launched the NFL franchise into its first Super Bowl, a good deal of national attention and well-wishing has descended upon the city.
That’s been a good thing. But along with the kudos and good feelings have come an aggravating, and, frankly, [...]

Chris Jackson’s Terrorist Mentors

Posted on February 4th, 2010 by Christopher Holton

If you’re an LSU basketball fan, one story which might have been supremely disappointing over the past 20 years is that of former Tiger scoring machine Chris Jackson, who changed his name to Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf following a conversion to Islam and subsequently refused to stand for the national anthem while playing in the NBA, among [...]

Time Has Come For Both “Who Dats” And Tea Partiers

Posted on February 4th, 2010 by macaoidh

by Joyce Linde
As a member of the “WHO DAT NATION,” it is impossible not to get caught up in the exuberance of the Saints victory that earned the long-awaited prize to the Super Bowl.
The Saints are more than a team. Since Katrina; they have symbolically carried the hopes and dreams of the people of Louisiana [...]

NFL Capitulates On Who Dat Controversy

Posted on February 1st, 2010 by macaoidh

Whether it was Sen. David Vitter’s entry into the apparel business or the Louisiana Democrat Party’s resolution to assault the NFL via a lawsuit with public funds, the league has now run up the white flag and capitulated to the Who Dat Nation. Per WWL:

 BATON ROUGE, La. – Attorney General Buddy Caldwell says the NFL [...]
