Players are in the wrong position chart. They have Shanle as a punt returner and Darren Sharper as a linebacker. I noticed the same thing with players for other teams. Someone at NFL.com needs to get it straight. John -----Original Message----- Go to nfl.com/probowl/ballot and vote on the Saint players for the 2010 Pro Bowl !! You can vote as often as you want.

Traffic curfews are suspended for the rest of Tuesday to allow for the backlog of marine traffic to re-enter the canal. In preparation for the storm, vessels were required to vacate the canal. Veterans Day is Wednesday and is a Federal Holiday and there are no curfews in effect on holidays. Normal bridge curfews will be in effect beginning in the morning on Thursday, November 12th.

Message-ID: <14dc01ca625e$b8e36a80$2aaa3f80$@com> Looks like "Master Cao" of New ORLEANS east has joined the rank and file of American Socialist Party Demos by voting in favor of ObamaCare with them. Imagine all Republicans but him and 39 courageous democrats who can smell rotten fish, even when noses are closed. I envision that someone from the 0-b-1 camp has cajoled with him during 0-B-1 visited the New Orleans crowd last month on the "chosen one's tour. Cajoled, meaning promising pork barrel projects given him for his vote (bought the vote), and convinced by the huge Viets and AfriKans in his district. Remember, "Mr. Bill (OOOOOOHHHHHH)" Jefferson's former district?? No conservative there (except if he's a Catholic and voted for the anti-abortion bill on Saturday). He's turned around like the New York Republican, Dede Scozzafava, who gave support to the socialist opponent (Owens) instead of the conservative one (Hoffman). Something isn't just rotten in Denmark any longer. --jer-- From Westley at da-parish.com Tue Nov 10 18:40:32 2009 From: Westley at da-parish.com (Westley Annis) Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2009 17:40:32 -0600 Subject: [StBernard] Texas Sheriff's Exam Message-ID: <14e301ca625f$3198c0b0$94ca4210$@com> A man seeking to join a Texas Sheriff's Department is being interviewed. The sergeant conducting the interview says: "Your qualifications all look good, but there is an attitude suitability test that you must complete before you can be accepted." Then, sliding a service pistol across the desk, he says: "I want you to take this pistol and go out and shoot six illegal aliens, six meth dealers, six terrorist extremists, Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, Nancy Pelosi and a rabbit." "Why the rabbit?" "Great attitude," says the Sergeant. "When can you start?" Always remember, when going hunting keep your powder dry!

Klees has handled Cresap's caseload in the 34th Judicial District Court in St. Bernard Parish since May, when Cresap filed for interim disqualification after he was arrested by the FBI in late April. Cresap pleaded guilty Oct. 1 to taking more than $70,000 in bribes over five years in exchange for allowing inmates to get out of jail without paying any bond money. Cresap officially resigned from the post Oct. 30, prompting the Supreme Court to extend Klees' interim appointment until a special election can be held. Klees' appointment at the court in Chalmette is effective through May 30, or until the vacancy is filled. A special election will be held in spring 2010 to fill Cresap's position, according to the Louisiana Secretary of State's office. Qualifying for a March 27 primary election will begin Feb. 3-5, with a possible runoff election May 1. Cresap, who was in the second year of a six-year term, will be sentenced in January by U.S. District Judge Mary Ann Vial Lemmon, alongside two St. Bernard Parish lawyers who pleaded to the scheme: Victor J. "V.J." Dauterive and Nunzio Salvadore "Sal" Cusimano. As part of the plea agreement, Cresap agreed to resign his judgeship before sentencing and cooperate in any other relevant corruption investigations. Klees was a former chief judge for the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. Since he retired in 2000, Klees has served as an ad hoc judge in several state district courts in the metropolitan area, including St. Bernard, Orleans, Plaquemines and Jefferson parishes.
