Bearly a contest~moosedenied
~Well, I guess that'll just have to do. Oh I bet you thought I'd be over the moon with that righteous beatdown the Saints put on the asshole Bears Sunday afternoon. Well, you'd be wrong. I've got a laundry list of gripes this week. Specifically, I've got a BIG problem with two Saints linebackers and a certain head coach right about now. You guys are aware of the fact that you're currently living in 21st century America, right? Must you always be so fuckin' classy and sportsmanlike? Come on, surely you could stoop to their level just once, for crying out loud.

What it means to live in New Orleans
~The New Orleans Levee

~Editilla Crowtellas~ Congratulations to The Levee on 5 years, growing stronger and stronger! Special thanks to our herolero: editor Rudy Vorkapic, as we cannot describe how gratified and honored we feel to see the Levees.org Levees map, and a link to the New Interactive Levees Map --which your New Orleans Ladder commissioned for our favorite grass roots group. The one time this funny guy gets serious, he climbs our Ladder to tell everyone about it!
