This year, for obvious reasons, it has been everywhere, but especially once they won the first playoff game, it became crazy (in a good way). People are using it to end conversations, instead of getting a "bye", you get "WHO DAT!". We call it the Who Dat Nation and it is pure awesomeness. and yes, I'd most definitely call the Saint's & Mitch Landrieu's wins hopey/changey! Sure has the citizens of NOLA feeling hope for the change they so desperately need. lovemydogs: Who Dat is actually a historical phrase that dates to the 1800′s, but in the 1980′s, it became the call of the Saint’s fans whenever they won a game.

It's like they see the best in us and go with that, regardless of how lazy or oblivious we may actually be at any given time. What a blessing. I don't think we are giving $P enough credit for planning ahead. She wrote on her palm "Lift American Spirits" -- which is a reminder to have Piper pocket the Caesar's Palace minibar bottles at the Wine and Spirit Wholesalers Convention.

Can you fill me in? Then I can write her and show how smart and with it I am (heh). I've been rooting for the Saints for forever. Congrats! NOLA:

The thing about that woman is that the people who follow her won't believe or don't care about any of the multitude of issues that keep coming up. As for the people who do see her for the fraud that she is, well, it's preaching to the choir. I don't see her ever becoming president, but the only good thing she could possibly do, if it were to actually happen, would be for the republicans to see the err of their ways, to shut her down, to stop the "Party of No" stuff, and actually work to make this country better. Barring that, or a prosecution, I think we're stuck with her until people stop paying to see her.
