New Orleans had the largest slave market in the country and became the fourth largest city in the US by 1840 and the wealthiest, mostly because of its slave trade and associated businesses.

4th largest city in the US and the largest slave market just 173 years ago--now the Super Bowl.

FARMER: Did you buy one yet?

That Super Bowl ad convinced me, I'm buying a farmer first chance I get.

The "God Made a Farmer" ad took a riskier route: earnestness. The two-minute ad features gorgeous still images from 10 noted photographers, including William Albert Allard, who has long documented the American Midwest; and Kurt Markus, who made his name with his depictions of cowboy life.

An antiquated vision of American farm life that featured almost no Hispanics — though the latter made up nearly half of all hired farmworkers in 2010, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. http://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/farm-economy/farm-labor/background.aspx#demographic

This same ad "fixed" for the real American demographics:

Harvey's essay on the virtues of the American farmer, which he delivered to the Future Farmers of America back in 1978. It says:

"God said, 'I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, milk cows, work all day in the fields, milk cows again, eat supper, then go to town and stay past midnight at a meeting of the school board.' So God made a farmer."

It was looking like Super Bowls of old days gone past (a Boring one-sided Blowout) until after the power outage; Then it got interesting. It was interesting; and Beyonce is nice to look at on high definition, she has those wide child bearing hips and smooth crotch, yes indeedy. The sound was awful and 'the show' pretty stupid, but Beyonce, mighty fine to look at, shaking her booty suggestively for the family viewing audience. Who knows what she was singing?, couldn't hardly hear it. "If you like it then you shoulda put your finger in it... utt utt ohh utt utt ohhh, utt utt oh utt utt ohhhh .. and so on. Shaking her booty and thrusting her crotch, her smooth crotch. The way her mama taught her. So proud. utt utt oh utt utt ohh

The Mayor tells us that New Orleans had a population of 680K people in 1960 and was bigger than Houston and Atlanta. Now it is down to 361K in 2011. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Orleans

We are told the 9th Ward had a population of 15K before the Hurricane(s) but 2500 now.

So who has those poor?

This is like cleaning out an under-performing school of its poor and then telling us how great the school is doing.

(My guess is that they are in Houston which has one of the best job creating economies in the nation ($100 a barrel oil is the reason). New Orleans should indeed be much stronger with a better revenue to cost ratio.)

Jim and his father:

His father died in 2008 after suffering from Alzheimer’s disease for 13 years.

So Charlie, what is Jim doing as prevention? Eating two packages of yellow mustard every day as we heard Dr. Dean Ornish tell you?

This is how the Roman Empire fell--loss of power.

Beyonce did it. First the lip synching now the Super Bowl.

Here is how it probably went down.

The 35-minute disruption came moments after performer Beyonce lit up the Superdome with a halftime spectacular that officials said was powered by generators and would not have sapped the stadium's electricity.

The problem, most likely, was when the generators were taken off-line.

A piece of equipment designed to monitor electrical load sensed an abnormality in the system where the Superdome equipment intersects with Entergy's feed into the building, triggering an automatic cut in power, Entergy said in a joint statement with the Superdome's management company, SMG.

"The halftime show, as the commissioner said, was running on 100 percent generated power, which means it was not on our grid at all," said Doug Thornton, senior vice president of SMG.

BUT the switch-over probably tripped the safety switch.

New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu called the power outage "an unfortunate moment in what has been an otherwise shining Super Bowl week for the city of New Orleans." "In the coming days, I expect a full after-action report from all parties involved," he said.

108 Million people watching times 35 minutes each means Beyonce is now bankrupt.

That will teach them to mess with the purity of football.

So this guy owns the Patriots and is Jewish:

40 years difference and she is a model.

Truth is better than fiction.

Charlie, you are the same age but did not look good at all my friend. Perhaps a little youth tonic of a four decade spread or perhaps just a nap?

(The former is really tempting but the later is best for you.)
