Strippers back in business in New Orleans

[BOSSHOG]

A great article by Chris Rose in today's Times-Picayune about the entertainment industry getting revved up in the Big Easy:

He also slaps the religiously insane about:

If God wanted to destroy Gays how come every place around the French Quarter has been damaged and the French Quarter virtually unscathed? I know, silly question.

1. Entertainment for the troops

There were about 100 guys in there Saturday night, all of them with very, very short hair, which is basically what everyone around here who's not a journalist has these days.

2. Great couple of paragraphs here:

"Rev. Bill Shanks, pastor of New Covenant Fellowship in Metairie: "New Orleans now is Mardi Gras free. New Orleans now is free of Southern Decadence and the sodomites, the witchcraft workers, false religion - it's free of all of those things now. God simply, I believe, in His mercy purged all of that stuff out of there - and now we're going to start over again."

Well, almost. It's an interesting interpretation, to be sure, and Shanks is not the only man of the cloth to make such claims. No doubt, it's a good message for the evangelical business.

Of course, try telling some poor sap down in St. Bernard Parish who has never heard of Southern Decadence and who goes to Bible study every Wednesday night that he lost his house and his job and his grandmother died in a flooded nursing home because God was angry at a bunch of bearded guys in dresses over on Dumaine Street."

3. Yeah, what is a disaster is really

religuion. Esp when people allow imbeciles to run the churches.

I'd take a couple of cat 5 hurricanes any day compared to a damn preacher and I live in Florida and have been through my fair share of hurricanes, 3 last year to be exact. And give me a repeat of those any day.

The freaking idiots don't understand that religion is man made and everything they stand for iare their own ideas. God - don't make me laugh. I have no respect for religious people whatsoever. I never hire religious people simply because I don't trust a person who believes in fairytales.
