Art in Biloxi
04/19/2012
Here in culturally rich New Orleans we easily forget about our artsy neighbors to the east. However, the short drive to Biloxi is a safe bet, whether one gambles or not, for an enlightening getaway celebrating the South and its creative heritage.…

Why John Derbyshire hated New Orleans
04/12/2012
When the National Review's John Derbyshire came to New Orleans in 2007 and wrote about the experience, I defended the city but didn't come down too hard on Derbyshire ? one, because not everyone has to like the same things, and two, because the flat affect of his prose made me wonder whether he fell on the high-functioning side of the autism spectrum.
The following passage, for instance, came close to the top of the travelogue and seemed to go a long way toward explaining why he felt so uncomfortable in New Orleans:
From the tourist?s-eye view, New Orleans is a black city. The servicepeople at the airport, the hotel, concessions, stores, museums, and fast-food outlets are uniformly black.…[ Read more ]
George Will: Jindal for VP
04/12/2012
Citing what he sees as President Barack Obama?s ?intellectual sociopathy ? his often breezy and sometimes loutish indifference to truth,? venerable Washington Post columnist and Sunday-morning talking head George F. Will suggested today that presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney should look at Gov. Bobby Jindal to round out the Republican ticket.
?Romney?s running mate should have intellectual firepower, born of immersion in policy complexities, sufficient to refute Obama?s meretricious claims and derelictions of duty,? Will wrote, suggesting Jindal and Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., would be good picks for the veep slot.…

Despite court order, Tony the tiger still at truck stop
04/12/2012
Yesterday, the Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) filed another lawsuit in the now years-long appeal to force the Tiger Truck Stop in Grosse Tete, La., to remove Tony, an 11-year-old Siberian-Bengal tiger.
Despite last year's ruling to prevent Tony's owner Michael Sandlin from confining the big cat, Sandlin, the suit charges, still houses Tony at the truck stop.…

04/05/2012
In his 1993 film Dazed and Confused, director Richard Linklater offers a day in the life snapshop, a post-American Graffiti portrait of high school misfits ? some coming, some going ? on the last day of high school before summer break in 1976. In his first studio film (after the great Slacker) Linklater revisits Austin, Texas, and its massive cast of mostly stoned characters glimpsing the highs and lows of the American Teen Coming of Age tale.…

Film Review: Margaret
04/05/2012
It?s been a long and completely self-inflicted struggle for writer-director Kenneth Lonergan to get his New York epic Margaret to theaters. Known for his award-winning 2000 film You Can Count on Me, and as the author of screenplays like Analyze This and Martin Scorsese?s Gangs of New York, Lonergan found himself unable to edit Margaret down to a contractually obligated 150-minute running time.…

03/29/2012
There have been a couple of books written about John Kennedy Toole and A Confederacy of Dunces — one a charming personal reminiscence, the other unworthy of its subject — but we now have Cory MacLauchlin's Butterfly in the Typewriter, which is the first serious biography of Toole.
