      <![CDATA[I'm sorry, but Krewe D'Etat has gotten uglier and uglier every year with their floats and this year so far is the nadir. We know that they are comprised mainly of good ol' boys from Momus and Comus who were angered by the call to integrate, but this year the veil was off their previously thinly veiled racism and misogyny.

      <![CDATA[Argus has been a waste of a krewe for years, with half of its floats being little more than rolling corporate billboards and the other half barely connected to whatever the parade's nominal theme might be. The organisation's in it for the advertising dollars and they haven't really given a care about Mardi Gras in a long, long time.
