Clamoring for Jindal for VP Again?

After Rush Limbaugh drizzled heavy praise on Louisiana's new governor, talk flaired and then fizzled on Bobby Jindal's chances of getting on the Republican ticket to be Vice President. The Republicans loved his social conservative credentials, not to mention his ethnicity as a counter punch to the Democrats' claim of first black man or first woman president. Nevertheless the notion was quickly dismissed due to Jindal's relative lack of experience.
Now a columnist at Congressional Quarterly has flipped the script on that logic, especially if Obama is the Democratic nominee.
New Orleans VooDoo believe in democracy, pep rallies

Seeing as how the New Orleans VooDoo play their season opener on Sunday, I want to encourage everyone to read Adam Norris' feature from last week's issue if you haven't already.
More importantly, though, is that the VooDoo will be holding a pep rally tonight at 7 at the Lakeside Shopping Center in Metarie. When was the last time the Saints held a team-organized pep rally? Anybody? All the details can be found here.
Also, Norris mentioned the Arena League has a Fan Bill of Rights but he didn't really get into the actual wording. Allow me:
- The word Fan is capitalized in every reference. In honor of this, I will do the same in any AFL-related post starting with this one.
Movers to Release New CD and Support Arts Education

The long-awaited Imagination Mover's CD, "Juice Box Heroes," will be available through iTunes and in stores starting on March 18. If you, or your favorite kid, can't wait that long, you can get a first sip of the new CD and support children's art education. Starting on March 11, fans can download the new single "Can You Do It?" from iTunes. Sales of the single will support the nonprofit group KIDsmART, which brings visual and performing arts education to public schools throughout New Orleans.
Due to the writers' strike, it appears the Mover's Disney show won't become a regular part of the Disney Playhouse lineup until this fall. Until then and in anticipation of the show and CD, Disney will be releasing three new videos of the "world's first alternative rock band for preschoolers."
