***Listen to Kiss My Gumbo radio this Saturday from 3:00-4:00 AM 690 WIST. My guests this week are artist Matt Rinard and author Earl Higgins.

Watts~ A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory. ~Steven Wright~ Dear Louisiana politicians and …
…responsible people! I can’t take it no more Alice! (I will not talk politics on Kiss My Gumbo 1,000 times- dang can’t help it). No no no – I ain’t talking about Mayor Nagin (still trying to book him on my radio show). I’m talking about the Mayor of Mandeville, Mayor front page of the …
Ya, I know I said I’d keep politics off Kiss My Gumbo – don’t worry, it ain’t like I am endorsing a candidate for Congress on this blog or anything (first name starts with S and ends with E). But I had to tell you about the event I attended last night in New Orleans. …

I was listening to Kaare Johnson on Wednesday during his weekly scheduled interview with Louisiana’s new Inspector General, Bob Cerasoli. If you don’t know anything about Mr. Cerasoli, you should, because with him in place, he can clean up even the most corrupt town (he did it in MA first). Yes, we have him, but …

This is my own little op-ed with incessant ramblings. Hey, give me a break, I’m a blogger (not a journalist) and you have to bare with me while I piece together the random jumbled thoughts that the hamster in my brain is generating! Can you see the surprised look on my face when the world …
I have to admit, Louisiana has had its’ share of public figures opening mouths and inserting feet! Heck, will anyone ever forget “Chocolate City?” I can’t ever get all those great photoshops out of my mind (Wonka bwahahaha).

So, I am sitting around with my kiddos watching a group of kids try and campaign for their elections in Bonanza City. One kid despises the incumbent so much, he pulls the signs down with a pogo stick …
The Dumb & Dumber bathroom skit never gets old. As much as I yell at my boys (and the big one who sleeps next to me) about NOT using potty humor, I must say that it is funny (don’t tell them I said that). Then I stumble across this headline on NOLA.com today, Bathroom Break …
