And the legend of “Spike” was born: The Tarpon Rodeo, hot tuna and old school politics

Since the Times Picayune editorial board whipped out an old term we picked up from TheRiot in “deadhead” in pointing out the 7th floor of the Yenni Building was packed with political cronies of Tim Coulon and Aaron Broussard, it is only fair I point out the 10th Floor was where the Courtesans were assigned. Since we’re renaissance people … Continue reading “And the legend of “Spike” was born: The Tarpon Rodeo, hot tuna and old school politics”

“I love a parade”: While Rome was burning down Chris Roberts was angling to ride in the Saints Superbowl Victory parade

Today’s installment of documents laid on me by my gabby cousin Slabb O’Leak deals with a parade but this was no ordinary parade folks, no sir. This was a special parade indeed so to refresh everyone’s memories we need to hit the way back machine and head back to February 2010.

Phony Baroni: Way past time we rolled out this member of the Goatherder Nation for the consideration of the Slabbed Nation

Even better folks I did not have to do any of the work since I am goofing off this week here on the beautiful Mississippi Gulf Coast as the Flaming Liberal over at Your Right Hand Thief has been all over former Kenner politico and Broussardian Goatherder Nick Baroni since before Slabbed entered the Jefferson Parish Corruption cesspool.

Slabbed has the scoop on something that happened 2 days ago?
