Sorry
... for the long delay. New Orleans says hi, come visit us, we're still resisting American assimilation. The situation in the Lower Delta remains, as has been reported here before, desperate but not serious.Highlights this year included a respect-filled dust-up between historical revisionists and historical re-revisionists on a formal tour of Laura Plantation, as well as our first-ever Bourbon Street Parade, Saturday the 2nd, the first-annual Gay Krewe of Krewes Parade.

The failure of many progressives to defend Pam Gellar, and of some to even assign her blame, has been shameful. You don't like her, fine, but you're making her claims of an imminent Islamist threat to democracy even more convincing. The Muslim gunmen and enforcers of Shariah that opened fire on the "Draw Muhammad" cartoon contest in Garland, Texas did so because the participants at the event were drawing cartoon depictions of Muhammad, not for reasons of Western colonization or anything else, just as another group opened fire on the staff of Charlie Hebdo in Paris for similar reasons of punishing satirical speech. You can make the claim that ISIS, al Qaeda, al Shabaab, Boko Haram, and others "distort" Islam, and I appreciate that the sway of moderate Muslims holds the key to the planet's future, but their holy book kind of speaks for itself.
