The Wheel Of Justice Spins For New Orleans
Folks in New Orleans seem to be getting a little fed up with this whole crime thing, and probably not a moment too soon for local law-abiding residents (we do have a few). It’s no secret that the city’s crime rate increased sharply after Katrina; with over half the police force AWOL and gangs from the lower Ninth Ward moving to more fertile grounds, opportunity knocked loudly for anyone willing to break a few laws. As a result crime fighting has become something of a local obsession; crime... Read Full Story

Calypso Tumblers on America's Got Talent
From:  lazlosbasement.com Calypso Tumblers Two local dancers from the “Calypso Tumbling” group were featured on tonight’s episode of America’s Got Talent. The explosive dancing/tumbling act was trumped only by the contestants’ emotional recounting of how their uncle sacrificed his life to save their family during Hurricane Katrina.
