Today's theme, at least in New Orleans, is out with the old and in with the new. The Hornets lost to the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday night to end a dismal 27-55 season, but on Thursday morning the New Orleans Pelicans are undefeated and looking skyward. At midnight, the Hornets turned into a pumpkin likely to be returned to Charlotte, and Tom Benson's new Pelicans franchise officially opened for business.
In the aftermath of the successful mission by the elite Navy Seal Team 6 to kill Osama Bin Laden, President Obama started to claim that “Al Qaeda is on the path to defeat.” Others in his administration boasted that the tide was turning against the terrorists in their struggle against the West.
The explosion of two bombs yesterday at the Boston Marathon points out once again that we live in a dangerous world. The attack was not committed with guns or AK47’s or high capacity magazines. The attack was committed with explosive devices that injured, maimed, or killed countless innocent people. Those near the explosions who survived now have their lives changed forever.
The Boston Marathon has turned into a blood-bath as two bombs was detonated at the finish line and another bomb reported at the JFK library in what some believe could be an act of terror.

The United States of America has reached the nightmare levels outlined in George Orwell’s famous classic, Nineteen Eighty-Four.
Gov. Bobby Jindal is five-for-five in an area where he gets no points for perfection.
One positive aspect of being around a long time is seeing lots of folks whack at the piñata of reform with varying degrees of success. I, too, have taken my swings at the paper mâche donkey and occasionally saw the candy hit the ground.
Is there something special about New Orleans? Of course there is.
