I give myself an A+ in effort for pulling together a creative radio show each week. This week will not disappoint. I’ll be opening up with a sparring match discussion between TSO from This Ain’t Hell an Sergeant Selena Coppa from the Iraq Veterans Against War IVAW. Then I’ll be joined by my friend Frank …

Yes, seems like this Summer vacation and Mommy thing is isolating me into the world of Agent P. and chicken nuggets. What did you say – school starts August 7th? OMG – should I be sad??? Well, as soon as school starts, I leave for a week to attend the Military Order of the Purple …
LONG POST!!! It has been crazy for the past 2 weeks. First, there was my wild weekend in the French Quarter for Tales of the Cocktail. I came home for a few days and then flew off to DC to represent Soldiers’ Angels in a meeting with the American Legion. This meeting was monumental and …
Hi everyone!!! It seems like ages since I’ve written a real post. I’ve actually been on vacation in Destin, FL with my family since my trip to DC. For the safety of my house, my house sitter, Chulo the Stupor Dog & my 4 cats, I opted not to discuss my whereabouts. You have no …
The pic is of my friend, local blogger and talk show personality Jeff Crouere and yours truly sitting in the new 2010 Ford Taurus (only 2 in the Country – I is special). I previously wrote about the upcoming dinner with Ford and a bunch of area bloggers. Well….last night was the dinner at Mandina’s. …
I’ll confess, until I started hanging with Mr. & Mrs. Cocktail (Ann & Paul Tuennerman) last year (we do back to back radio shows), my alcohol repertoire consisted of beer being “cold” or “really cold.” They have opened my eyes to a whole new world and I am embracing it…one drink at a time. I …
I’m so excited and honored to be a part of Tales of the Cocktail this year. Mr. and Mrs. Cocktail’s radio show (The Straight Pour) comes after mine and I consider them and the Cocktail Angels as part of the extended Perry family now. Last year I was unable to attend as it fell on …
I thought I already wrote about a moron this week? Oh… but that one was not a politician. NEWSFLASH “Moronic Louisiana Politician” in the news! Our own Ray Nagin and his shady computer scheme. Seems the Voodoo Queen must have done some magic on his computer as his e-mails magically disappeared. Fercryingoutloud, I just used …

What does it take to make the front page of NOLA.com these days? The competition is tough here; rapping for politicians, stealing from Toys for Tots, having a freezer full of cash, getting quarantined in China. Nobody actually reads the shooting articles anymore – they are getting trivial (sadly) and are just headline skimmers. In …
Ya, you get a goofy radio show promo this week. We must all reach for humor in tough times (and beer). Join me and my co-host Chuck Collins, this Saturday on WIST AM 690 out of New Orleans or live from your computer here from 9-10 central time. Call in number 888-880-WIST. Hint on the …

UPDATE: Dear China, If we send you money will you keep him? I can’t wait to listen to all the talk show hosts this week make jokes about Nagin being quarantined in China. There is no doubt that many wish he would be quarantined until May 2010 – LOL! So, if you have something funny …
I can’t tell you how anxious I am for my radio show this Saturday. I’m so anxious, I am promoting it on Monday instead of Thursday. Why? Well, because I want people to listen as this is probably my most important show yet. This Saturday from 9-10 AM central time on WIST AM 690 out …
