This video illustrates the issue of public sector (federal goverment) vs. private sector via what is happening currently with the World Trade Center rebuilding. Crowder hits the nail on the head on this one. Too bad they apparently can’t even find nails at the goverment funded WTC rebuilding.

This has GOT to be one of the strangest things I have ever seen. The Wagah border is the only road linking India and Pakistan. And every night, the border is closed with a most unusual ceremony.

New Orleans TV station WVUE has video online of the New Orleans Saints’ Super Bowl victory parade from Tuesday. I was unable to watch online live because I was at work.

The New Orleans Times-Picayune has an article online via NOLA.com about Jimmy Buffett being a big Saints fan. I’ve been a Jimmy Buffett fan about as long as I’ve been a Saints fan. It’s nice when two things I enjoy meld together like this.

The day has arrived that I thought I might never see. Not only were the Saints in the Super Bowl but THEY WON!!!!

I cannot honestly say when I first became a Saints fan but I do know it was in the early 70’s when I was a little rug rat and we lived in northwest Mississippi (the Delta). After we moved to south Mississippi in the summer of 1976 Daddy took me and my brother to our first ever Saints game the fall of 1977. Archie Manning was the quarterback and they were a lousy team. I still remember that game in the Dome. They played an equally lousy team (I think it was the St. Louis Cardinals) and still managed to find a way to lose.

But I quickly grew to love those Saints and over the years I took a lot of ribbing for my devotion to that team. I was a diehard and remained so through my adulthood.

That’s why I am so thrilled that the Saints have won the Super Bowl. This was the first Super Bowl I ever had a major interest in and frankly I just about had a heart attack of two because of the stress. At least it seemed that way. My regret is that I could not be with other Saints fans ’cause I don’t know of any personally here in Tallahassee. My sister-in-law had a Super Bowl party at her home in Biloxi, MS and we texted and called each other during and after the game. I wish I could have been there with them. I’m relying on her to get me the Super Bowl Champ editions of both the New Orleans Times-Picayune as well as the Biloxi Sun-Herald. I want multiple copies because I’m going to frame them and hang them on the wall behind this computer. And if I ever am fortunate enough to have my own office at work, that will be on the wall there as well.

It seems like a dream right now. I’m afraid I’ll wake up and it will be Saturday February 6th all over again or worse yet…I’ll wake up in my recliner with the Super Bowl in the 4th quarter with the Saints down by 4 or 5 TDs.

But I’m not dreaming. It’s real. And I am happy! Giddy even. I really can’t find an adequate word to describe my feelings right now. Anyway, I can’t really get my thoughts together well right now but probably will blog more later on.

Congratulations New Orleans Saints and my fellow members of the Who Dat Nation! This is going to be the most insane Mardi Gras ever!
