C'est Levee

So Mardi Gras is here! Krewe de Vieux, hands down winner of the grossest, least polite parade of the season, rolled tonight through the French Quarter. The theme, of course, was Katrina, Governor Blanco, Mayor Nagin, FEMA director Brownie, and of course, the Chocolate City.


Unfortunately, in a family-level blog such as this, I can't show photos, or even describe, most of tonight's floats. To give an example of one of the least tasteless examples, what do you think was behind the Governor Blanco freezer door. (Hint: Think ice chest.)




In a general feeling of frustration and disillusionment, one float implored the Frence to buy us back! Perhaps that isn't such a bad idea. We really don't seem to belong in the US sometimes.

Happy Mardi Gras. I can't wait til Zulu!
