Super Tuesday not so Super for Conservatives

Of course Louisiana won't have it's chance to vote until Saturday Feb 9th. We had Mardi Gras instead of voting yesterday.

Looks like it will be tough for Mitt to beat out McCain so the conservatives that don't like McCain will have to suck it up and pull the lever for him anyway in November. At least that's what I'll do. I never really was that crazy about Mitt anyway.

I did see someone on the tube last night hinting at a McCain/Huckabee ticket, double yuck.

On the liberal side you have a close race for the Dems. Obamarama is giving ole Hillary a run for her money but I think she'll pull it out in the end. Super delegates will pull her to the top at the convention.

No matter what happens the conservative wing of the Republican party will have to regroup and try and find a conservative Governor for 2012. IMO If elected McCain won't run for a 2nd term.

I do think it would be difficult to beat a Hillary/Obama ticket but I'm not sure she'll want to share the limelight.

Great Mardi Gras Weekend!

We had a great time this weekend. We did go to Mandeville Friday night and watched Orpheus. Good parade with plenty of throws in a family friendly setting.

On Saturday I got up early and changed the brake pads on The Good Child's (at least that's what displays when she calls me on my cell) car, you have to love Honda it took 10 minutes per wheel. We then packed up and headed to downtown Baton Rouge for Spanish Town. It was a beautiful day and The Good Child and Mrs Roux even got a little sunburned. The theme was Flamingeaux Phil Predicts. They mostly predicted that our own Brittney Spears would continue with her bizarre behavior in 2008. Plenty of video here. I really enjoy the Krewe of Yazoo also known as the Lawnmower Brigade. Their theme was Senior MOWments.

On Sunday we went to the Krewe Tchefuncte in Madisonville. We had a good time and Mrs Roux's Uncle won first place with the theme of the French Quarter Festival. I forgot my camera so no pictures.

Anyway Happy Mardi Gras.

It's Mardi Gras Time!!!

Well it's Mardi Gras time and I guess I'll have to get my fix in.

We already did the Romany Ball. A great time was had by all.

We are going to hit a few parades this weekend. Orpheus Friday night in Mandeville, Spanishtown in Baton Rouge Saturday (old friend Danny McGlynn is the King) and possibly the Krewe of Tchefuncte boat parade in Madisonville on Sunday.

Catch a parade or two or three this weekend it's fun just to watch the people. Here's a schedule.

Happy Mardi Gras!!!
