Posted on January 01, 2010... is at What About Client?, a.k.a. What About Paris? I can?t summarize it without just repeating it verbatim. Suffice it to say that its author, Dan Hull, tells us what made Einstein Einstein. It wasn?t just intelligence.
Dear Saints: Don?t worry about those last two games. But please change your pants.
Posted on December 28, 2009Lately Saints fans are down on their team. After starting with 13 consecutive wins, the Saints have lost back-to-back games at home. This weekend, they go to Carolina to face the Panthers, who have played pretty well the last couple...
Ralph Stanley, a capella
Posted on December 26, 2009A bit hat tip to Dead Mule at Southern Appeal for this one: Ralph Stanley on a book tour, singing a few songs a capella.
A skeptic confronts the implication of Christmas
Posted on December 25, 2009Washington Post columnist Michael Gerson has doubts about the Incarnation?whether Jesus really was who he said he was. But despite his doubts, he ponders its implication if it is true. Whether you?re a believer or a doubter, his reflection is...
Isaiah 9:1-6
Posted on December 24, 2009The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shone. You have brought them abundant joy and great rejoicing, as they rejoice before you as at...
How to find videos for the Hostilidays
Posted on December 22, 2009There are many ways, but one way is to search for videos involving the Bee Gees and Christmas. Not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach.
Link to my Christmas newsletter
Posted on December 22, 2009For the past few years, I?ve been doing a blog-style Christmas newsletter. It?s like any other blog, except the frequency of posting is once per year. The blog format seems ideally suited for something like this?frankly I wonder why more...
Some cheese for the Hostilidays
Posted on December 20, 2009I know that the old Batman TV show was on-purpose cheesy. But this is way past run-of-the-mill cheesy ? we?re talking Limburger here.
I went in search of a Hostilidays video, but found this instead.
Posted on December 19, 2009The Hostilidays have been strangely quiet. Must be El Niño. I went looking for something truly awful; instead I found this. It won?t send you off jimmying the gun cabinet open to blow your brains out. But I offer it...
Tom Goldstein comes clean
Posted on December 15, 2009At the recent DRI Appellate Seminar, Tom Goldstein spoke on how we, too, could become A-1 experts on Supreme Court practice. So imagine how shocked, SHOCKED I was to learn that Tom has been involved in some scandals. But in...
Freedom Highway by the Staples Singers
Posted on December 12, 2009The Jim Morrison imitator was nice, but here?s some real soul for your Saturday-evening blues.
Mr. Mojo?s Christmas
Posted on December 12, 2009What if those bluesy Doors did a Christmas medley? It might have turned out exactly like this, which I found on Toulouse Street.
A counter-intuitive video
Posted on December 09, 2009Who can hit the same bullseye on the same target at the same distance more accurately: a world-class archer shooting arrows or an NFL quarterback throwing a football? The answer surprised me. But then considering the quarterback they used for...
Fruitcake. Enough said.
Posted on December 06, 2009This one has a flatulent dinosaur and a dog straining to pass a brick. Must have been something they ate.
Up on Cripple Creek
Posted on December 05, 2009In a few days, I?ll be in Lake Charles, Louisiana, kibitzing at a trial. That impending road trip has me thinking of this song by The Band?although I doubt I?ll have as much fun in LC as Levon Helm did.
Lawrence Welk threesome
Posted on December 05, 2009I?m still looking for this week?s edition of Saturday Evening Blues. Meanwhile, here?s a Hostilidays response to Adrastos, who posted a video of the Lawrence Welk Youth (yes, there was such a thing) under the fetching title Welking the Hostilidays....
If you think that age limits you, watch this.
Posted on December 04, 2009My sister Wendy posted this on Facebook. I?m posting it here in case anyone out there feels too old to do something.
Why the Patriots game is important to the Saints
Posted on November 30, 2009Everyone knows that tonight?s game with the Patriots is important to the Saints. Today I?ve been trying to figure out why. Objectively, it?s hardly the most important game in franchise history; any one of the Saints? handful of playoff appearances...
?Go tell it on the mountain?
Posted on November 28, 2009I?ve been wavering on whether to deploy this one in the Hostilidays. It?s gotten enough views that some of you have probably seen it before. On the other hand, I don?t recall anyone?s deploying it before, so I suppose it?s...
How come my dog don?t bark when you come around?
Posted on November 28, 2009My friend Dan Hull posted this video last weekend. It?s from a Dr. John performance at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. I think it?s from 2006; I don?t recall this particular song, but I do remember the decorations...
Inside the footprint
Posted on September 29, 2009Inside the Footprint is a new blog by law students Brad V (of Letters in Bottles) and Curtis P (of Creole Tomatoes). The guys? goal is to document the Mid-City neighborhood that would be destroyed if the proposed LSU-VA hospital...
Our masters and patrons
Posted on September 27, 2009Today is the feast of St. Vincent de Paul. Here is a bit of Vincent?s teaching: Even though the poor are often rough and unrefined, we must not judge them from external appearances nor from the mental gifts they seem...
Red beans, courtesy of Snooks Eaglin and George Porter Jr.
Posted on September 26, 2009I made two good decisions during the 2008 Jazz Fest: to see Eddie Bo, and to see Snooks Eaglin. Both passed away before the 2009 Fest, so if I had missed them in 2008, I would have missed them forever....
Completing the circle: North Mississippi Allstars and Otha Turner?s family
Posted on September 19, 2009On Labor Day, we saw Otha Turner play his cane fife and sing ?Sitting on Top of the World? (a.k.a. ?Station Blues?) with Corey Harris. Last week, we saw the North Mississippi Allstars prove that the blues is not a...
Orleanians, mark your calendars.
Posted on September 16, 2009And non-Orleanians, eat your hearts out. The Crescent City Blues & BBQ Fest happens October 17-18, 2009 at Lafayette Square. The October 17 lineup includes Buddy Guy, Sonny Landreth, Robert Belfour, and many others. The October 18 lineup includes Grammy...
73% of doctors are extremist, left-wing, socialist, communist, ....
Posted on September 15, 2009Yesterday I had the misfortune of being forced to overhear a well-known propagandist (initials R.L.) attach pejorative labels to people and ideas he disagrees with, and repeat the attachment ad nauseam. (As I said, he?s a propagandist.) The subject happened...
At last, the North Mississippi Allstars
Posted on September 12, 2009During the 2005 exile from New Orleans, one rare source of joy was Electric Blue Watermelon, a then-new CD by the North Mississippi Allstars, which I often listened to while driving. Later, when I started posting blues videos here on...

Posted on September 11, 2009As many of you know, I have two blogs: this one and The (New) Legal Writer. Until today, I had a widget on each blog that was a mini-RSS reader tracking the other blog. The idea was to integrate the...
