When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

A man in a creamsicle colored shirt and a soft felt hat of a sort men don;t wear any more --nothing but baseball caps, it seems-- but used all to wear (back in the 1930s and 1940s) is pictured in a New York Times article on repopulating New Orleans.
The man is Kermit Ruffins and he cana't wait to get back to Vaughn's and play his trumpet and cook red beans and rice for his band, the Barbecue Swingers.
