Are we sick of the Sarah Palin craziness yet?? Sarah porno movies coming, posters, bobble heads, a shoe line, lunch boxes, Sarah guns and ski-dos. What’s left?? It’s what my Yai Yai used to say to me (that’s greek for maw maw fyi) She used to tell me “Katina, it’s not what you say, it’s HOW you say it”. This is the Sarah factor. I have no idea what she is talking about most of the time but she says it so well. With phrases like- “yes, you betcha” and “heck ya” It’s different sounding and not all same same politician speak. The best thing about Sarah Palin running for VP, she’s made Saturday Night Live funny again! And we all can enjoy that!

The word for the drinking game during the VP debate should have been the word ‘maverick’.  Joe and Sarah both said that word, along with the moderator, a kazzillion times! Damn!! I should have made it so that whenever either one of them said that word, you had to drink. I drank anyways. My friend drank every time Sarah winked. He thought she was winking at him of course. Sad that these are the only things I will remember from that debate. And Sarah’s shoes. She always has good shoes. (see previous blog) I’m still undecided though as many Americans are. Maybe more drinking is needed.

Gotcha! Made ya look! Ya, she’s hot. A VP Milf if you will! Good luck to her. I’m happy she has good shoes. Means a lot to me. The shoe is the foundation to the soul. Good shoes = good stuff. Bad shoes = I will not even have a conversation with you even if yer hot and have a lot of money or even if yer cool. (or think you are those things) Bad shoes, I walk away from you in my good shoes. With that thinking, perhaps Sara Palin will make a good VP. Hey, at least I weigh the important issues when it comes to voting. Does the candidate have good shoes?? Very important.

That’s gonna be the name of my new motel-EVACUATE-INN, very evacuation friendly. Free gas til it runs out, plenty of water and booze and free laundry facilities. Also, I’ll have a ‘musicians lodge’. A tavern with a stage so evacuated musicians can plug in and play. And a huge yard with kennels and pet baby sitters for your evacuated pets. A swimming pool too. 1 for pets, 1 for people. All rooms will have 2 bunk beds, 2 king size beds, and 2 pull out couches. Flat screens, porn and cable. Price for a night will be $69.00. (fema vouchers accepted) I don’t want to actually make a profit off of evacuated people. So any profit I make, I will then donate back to the effected area to help the recovery. I will have a safe broadcast facility for all my radio friends to work out of. TV peeps too. A small non-denomonational chapel on premise as well. I’ll also have a small landing strip for small planes and helicopters to land on if they have to. Maybe the president, Bobby J and Sugar Ray Nagin could put that to use. And the military, fema, red cross, etc. I would open a chain of EVACUATE-INN’s. A few on I-55 North, I-10 East and West, Shreveport, Memphis, Atlanta, the pan-handle and of course Baton Rouge. In the non-hurricane season, Evacuate-Inns will be normal motels. BUT, that is when I would maybe the jack the price of the room up to normal rates. I would have musicians perform at my Inns during the off season. Big names like Aerosmith, Sammy Hagar, Journey, Foo Fighters, Miley Cyrus etc. So peeps would still come during the non-hurricane seasons. Maybe some gambling on premise as well. And weddings and private partys. Who wouldn’t want to get married at an EVACUATE-INN????? Don’t even think about stealing this idea! I have already gone to my lawyer and am getting a patent or whatever so no one can steal this idea. My lawyer has many of my ideas on file. He says one of these days when one of them actually comes true, then thats when I pay him. The Evacuate-Inn’s will be such a success and they will have helped so many evacuees that I will be recognized by the White House. They will give me an award of some-sort. Maybe not the actual president. They will prob have the vice president give to me. Either that chick or Biden. When I accept the award, I will go to the podium and yell- “West bank forever-word!” make the rock face, race my fist in the air and scream some more. I call that ‘evacuettes syndrome’ (like tourettes syndrome, when you evacuate, you just want to scream random stupid stuff out loud for no reason) Now I just need a rich backer to do this. Sydney Torres, you reading this???

And fyi, I talked to god, Ike isn’t a threat to New Orleans. We’re good.

Please, pray, dance, chant, whatever you do to communicate with your higher power, (Bob Breck) do it and make GUSTOV GO AWAY! Think the worst, hope for the best. Be prepared, blah blah blah, right?? Am I the only one having Katrina flashbacks and anxiety?? To break it down, Bayou 95.7 with be with yall every step of the way. We will, at some point, switch over to sister station WWL for full-on Gustov coverage. We will be in that mode tfn. After it is appropriate to start rocking you out again, we will flip back to regular rock programming. Stay with us. We were here for you for Katrina and we ain’t goin’ anywhere now.

The Anniversary of Katrina is here, Remember the heros and those lost. And remember, we are still ONE New Orleans

After another heartache, and I apologize for yall having to deal with my bad relationships all these years. I know it must be at a point where you may feel for me how the public feels for Jennifer Anniston. After the 50th heartache for Jennifer, you think-’oh, poor Jennifer, nice girl’ But now it is turning to ‘what the hell is wrong with her?’ I have decided to abstain from not just sex, but a relationship all together for 12 months. Of course my friends say it can’t be done. They think I should shorten it to 6 months. Then another friend thinks 6 weeks. Another one 6 days and Mitch said 6 minutes. (toys and self love do not count) At any rate, I’m going to try. And really try to figure out WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME. Do you know? Geesh, I must sound like a crazy pathetic person. I admit perhaps some meds are in my future for this type of thing. Thankfully I have the Bayou and the Workforce to get me thru…AGAIN. Yall are my shrink. So, celibacy, here I come! Anyone wanna join me?

Congratz Michael Phelps! Bringin’ home the gold at the Summer Olympics 7 times! His ears act as an extra set of flippers. Way to go team USA!

Yep, she’s 63! That’s British Actress Helen Mirran. It’s ok to look! She’s all real! and 63 years old!! And looking hot in a bikini!

It was one year ago today that I stepped off the train in New Orleans. While I knew this would be an adventure, I couldn’t even begin to understand how rewarding it would be. I’ve been doing this radio thing for a long time - 30 years, to be exact - and I’ve never felt so welcome, and at home as I have here in New Orleans. From Day One, you the Bayou listener, made me feel wanted - and I cannot find the words to tell you how grateful I am for that!

The vibe of this city is phenomenal! Sure, we have problems, and lots of work to do, but the culture and character - combined with the people - insure that our community will prevail. I’m proud to be a part of the unique fabric that IS New Orleans, and hope to celebrate many more anniversaries here.

I do have some individual kudos I want to send out. First, I’d like to thank Drunk Ass Boss & The Corporate Cutthroats for hiring me, and giving me the opportunity to be part of New Orleans. I’m also thankful to the staff here at Bayou 95.7 for being so supportive and friendly - we truly treat one another as family here! I;m grateful to those of you who listen and call/write - y’all make my day! And special thanks go out to two people who’ve really been my beacon of light: My buddy The Pizza Man in The Warehouse District, who patiently helped transform this Dumb Assed Yankee into a reasonable facsimle of a NOLA resident, and Kat, who has faithfully and diligently been in my corner since the day I arrived.

The biggest props go to you, Workforce! You’ve hung with me and let me into your world, have tolerated the stupid sh*t I say on the radio and have introduced yourselves to me via e-mail, stopping by our events and on the phone. THANK YOU!

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a dinner to attend. Big steaks, cold beer and hot babes :-)! Don’t worry - Mama taught me well. I won’t get any on me!

Again, my most sincere thanks!
