Obama on Freret St. Tomorrow

Somebody please go and tell me how this ends up since I can't be there.

Doors open at 7:45 a.m. for a 9:45 a.m. event. Fogelman Arena ain't exactly the biggest gym and Obama has been packing houses like nobody's business.

Then perhaps someone could explain how Obama and Louisiana's vote could get sacked by this whole super delegate non-sense. Or why Louisiana political pundits resort to name-calling without doing any basic research.

Throw My Baby Out The Window

And let those joints burn down. All because it's Carnival Time.

Al Johnson(song) certainly didn't mean Carnival time in Ludwishafen (which it was) but prophetic none the less. This photo of a baby being thrown four stories from a burning building to policemen and firemen standing below is almost unbelievable.

While the English language coverage focused on the nine-month-old baby girl and the police officer who caught her, the German papers focused on the possibility of yet another Turkish immigrant filled building becoming victim to arson.
