Suspicious Activity

This summer's rash of downtown bar robberies has the service industry community a little worried. Tara Jill Ciccarone attended a recent Crime Summit meeting at Mimi's in The Marigny between community members and the NOPD. Deputy Chief Anthony Canatella's assesment? "If ya’ll had been organized, maybe this wouldn’t have happened."

Dickless on Bourbon

It's the first weekend of September; the heavy air carries sweet olive and night-blooming jasmine, tangled with, what? Sweat and leather? Somewhere in a few blocks over, a Cher remix catches the waves, no shootings, and holy shit, everybody is spending money like they don't have no kids. It can only mean one thing: Southern Decadence. It would be great, if only it wouldn't damn us all to gay hell for its yummily sinful liberation. NOLAFugees correspondent Jen Kuchta on the city's most hassle-free money-maker.

A Crime of Ignorance

When Joe Howard arrived at the NOLAFugees office to help us cover last weekend's gun show at the Ponchartrain Center, he was pro-gun. By the time we left the The Great Southern Gun & Knife Show many vodkas later, he'd nearly been arrested.

DJ Diplomacy

At the tailend of an artist's residence offered by the French Ministry of Culture, local musician and educator Davis Rogan discovered he would be the city's representative for the Ministry's Katrina Anniversary service.

Feeding

When NOLAFugees correspondent Sarah Inman told the editors she may have found a bagged, decapited head in the Katrina-wrecked Holt Cemetary, we said hell yes. When we went to take some follow-up shots, we realized this was one fucked-up charnael pit.

Special Feature:
Flat-Earthers’ Revenge: Interview With Chris Mooney, author of The Republican War on Science
When Chris Mooney sat down with NOLAFugees correspondent & fellow fifth-columnist C.W. Cannon, it was an ungodly, liberal anarcho-academic discussion of global warming, levees, and the seeding of uncertainty. If political gain and social injustice are inextricably linked to an undermining of Reason, the real question is how do we cash in.
