Try not to go too hard out there.
A vehicle fire in the eastbound high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes of the Crescent City Connection is snarling traffic on the West Bank, Monday morning.
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development reported the fire just after 8 a.m.
I'm certainly not one of these people declaring a return to post-pandemic normalcy yet.. especially with only 25 percent of Louisianians fully vaccinated (31% with at least one shot) as of today. But certain of the old familiar comforts of home, such as everything being on fire, do seem to be returning.
Oh also, was there an election over the weekend or something? I found all this trash laying around.
We'll definitely have to talk about this one later. There are so many bad takes flying around today it's hard to pick out the absolute worst. But this is a contender.
James Carville, the New Orleans-based political strategist, believes the outcome has national implications, noting that Peterson had the advantage of her side spending more money and a low turnout special election (16.6%) that typically favors candidates who seek to excite their party’s most fervent supporters.
“Voters voted against wokeness,” said Carville. “They just did. Woke did very, very poorly.”
I mean, it isn't very surprising that Carville has adopted the pejorative form of "wokeness" to mean any political platform to the left of, say, Ronald Reagan. But he's also wrong (or lying, if you prefer to call it what it is) to claim this result is a rejection of such a platform instead of a candidate. But, more on that later.
In the meantime try to avoid getting exploded by anything.
