I can’t imagine Deke Bellavia over payola radio way will be happy about this latest turn of events. In any event Slabbed broached a subject no one else would touch at the time.

My own opinion is this is a prelude to Chief Serpas getting busted again for cooking crime stats. Props to Judge Medley for promptly and correctly deciding this public records case. He should give lessons to Judge LaDart.

Sometimes such things come with an official coverup too and that does not count touching the children.

Slabbed lifers well know I was very critical of Billy Nungesser being a permanent guest host on AC360 back during the oil spill given the baggage that comes with the guy. Frankly I thought the fixation was indeed strange and that’s not to mention the crazy perverted stuff about Nunny and Gidget’s girls back in the day but Nunny is a golden child in certain GOP circles and this does not count persistent rumors of the Plaquemines Parish Prez and golden showers.
I mention all this because Anderson Cooper made his sexual orientation official via an online letter as the attraction to our favorite local fat ass comes into sharper focus.

Actually folks I’m not going to defend Mathews, the heel de jour in New Orleans. I will say I’ve been looking at this whole Times Picayune make over “professionally”, that is as a practicing CPA and yes even the Newhouse accountants have been raked over the coals since the announcement of big changes at the T-P in late May.
I do not have time to write the post this subject deserves, at least today, but I would like to point out a couple of things I’ve seen in the news coverage that interested me.
First is Ashton Phelps falling on his sword rather than make the changes Steve Newhouse required. This is the way things are done in the business world when you lose faith in the plan. The Phelps’ family has been part of the cultural landscape in the city for a long time and to the extent street talk had the papers editorials being written at the Boston Club, if you want to understand the cesspool that is the City of New Orleans you must understand the Boston Club, the third oldest social club in the entire country. To the extent I’ve been able to divine the job of a newspaper publisher is to kiss ass and make nice with the rich, powerful and famous, places like the Boston Club would be a natural for people like Phelps and Clancy DuBos. Speaking of DuBos has anyone else noticed he has been bashing Mathews on a fairly regular basis? Not quite Slabbed style but close.
There are several theories about why DuBos harbors such a distaste for Ricky Mathews. Continue reading “Blood in the water Monday: Since someone has to defend Ricky Mathews…..”
