Our prayers go out for all of the victims in the South Carolina church shooting. As the story unfolds, we learn more and more about the evil and hate of the murders.

Ferdie To Rosemary Church
NEW ORLEANS (Ferdie Werdie) — Newsperson to newsperson, I try to catch CNN International news nightly before I turn off my TV each day. At first, I thought that anchorwoman Rosemary Church was reporting from across the pond in England or somewhere like that. However, the CNN International broadcast is based in Atlanta, Georgia. I did not know that. It is a nice wrap up to my daily chores to hear all of the headlines from Rosemary before I fall asleep each twilight.

Crystal Hefner Truly Lovely
NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — Seeing Hugh Hefner and his pretty wife, Crystal, together is a beautiful scene. Hefner has very good taste in women, and does himself a fine service by having Crystal by his side. I am guilty of making a silly joke below; but, to be sincere, I think that Hefner has been a man who has always had his feet grounded on a solid foundation. I think that he has an excellent cranial system.
Hugh and Crystal Hefner make a very lovely couple.
My Lovely Co-Pilot
NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — When I was young, I had one like this (in picture below) cooking for me and inhabiting my kitchen. Now, I am old and have to do my own cooking and taking care of my own kitchen. My co-pilot is still in the vicinity, but she does not dress like that anymore.
I believe that the good Lord wants everyone to have a co-pilot in this life in order to help navigate the sometimes-treacherous waters and rough terrain. Sometimes your co-pilot might run his/her mouth too much or snap off in the cranial area occasionally. However, without your co-pilot close by, you might not see an upcoming boulder in the road or a pit in the ground. Thank God for co-pilots.
I had one like this when I was young.
BOSCOVILLE (Gazette) — There are laws in our constitution that protect the White House against slanders and attacks from traitors and foreigners who are bent on crushing our president and the White House. Zionistic and terroristic Israeli leader Netanyahu and the hateful, traitorous Republican Congress need to be taken to task for their traitorous assaults against the White House and our American president.
No! No! No! Please do not tell me that the hate and ugliness which is growing in this country will reach the depths of the early 20th Century. What in the world will the upcoming years bring us in this century? I believe that no one knows the depths that hatred will take in the coming years. I blame the hateful Republicans and hatemongers like FOX NEWS.
Why aren’t the local authorities in Mississippi investigating this hanging like they should? Why is it taking the FBI to investigate this lynching? I have been recently thinking about moving to Mississippi to be close to the beautiful beaches and the lovely scenery. However, if this pot of hatred in Mississippi is brewing up and beginning to boil over, I will probably look in another direction.

Graham and Marshawn to Kill PATS
NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — The New Orleans Saints do not want to make the Super Bowl any time soon, especially after trading Jimmy Graham #TheBeast to Seattle with Marshawn Lynch #TheBeast already terrorizing defenses in the NFL. Two BEASTS at the same time? HISTORICAL! I am down with that. Until further notice and unless something changes, my money is on the Seattle SuperHawks in 2015.
Now, I want Seattle to stomp on the head of the cheating New England Patriots. Seattle, you had the snake crushed in this year’s Super Bowl. You let them get away. You begin that journey this year with another beast added to your inventory. I want it. I want it!! I hope that all PATS haters around the country are salivating from their teeth itching to see the next Seattle vs. New England game.
Jimmy Graham, the new #BEAST in town.
Plus, I must say that I am amazed how popular Bettie Page still is today. I am sure that her people are making much more money than Bettie did in her day. I bought a beautiful red t-shirt which commemorated Bettie’s birthday last year. It is one of my favorite shirts. Geaux, Bettie!!
In other Saints news, I was asked my opinion of the owner’s battles with his heirs in which he is, upon his passing, leaving the running of the Saints and Pelicans exclusively to his wife. My opinion is that the teams and his fortune are his to do with as he likes. His heirs are already taken care of well enough by Mr. Benson. His wife, Gayle, will be the best person to take care of the Saints and the Pelicans once Mr. Benson is gone.
Mardi Gras Weekend Next Week
NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — If you are not already packing your suitcase in preparation to head to New Orleans for Mardi Gras 2015, you need to make up your mind quickly. Next weekend is Mardi Gras weekend. This weekend I am waiting on my daughter to tell me what 3 parades she and her crew are marching in on this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I might already be tired by next weekend. This picture below which I saw this morning has me absolutely ready to go to the French Quarter for some Mardi Gras, Big Easy food.
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME MARDI GRAS?
Ready for Fat Tuesday?
BOSCOVILLE (Ferdie Werdie) — I try to be politically correct so that the ladies on #Twitter and #Facebook do not get upset with me. However, I cannot be silent about the female referee in the #LosAngelesClippers vs. #ClevelandCavaliers game that just ended. I do not believe in #female referees in the #NBA. There ya’ go; I know you ladies are gettin’ mad now. The game was a #bitchFEST tonight. I think that the girl referee threw 6 or 7 technical fouls just on the Clippers, changing the whole “tenor” of the game. If a Clipper just looked at her “hard” or rather roughly, she called a technical, with one Clipper even being ejected from the game. She should be home cooking or washing dishes, not on an @NBA court. Sorry, ladies. Do not be mad! I’m just saying!
NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — Also, I am sure that many fans are still following the news about Bobbi Kristina Brown. She had opened her eyes twice, and showed slight improvement, according to earlier reports. Of course, the world knows that she was found unconscious last weekend in a bathtub very similarly to how her mother, Whitney Houston, was in 2012. The circumstances are eerie!! As of this writing, she is still in an induced coma. Her family had been advised to expect the worst, and reports are leaking in that the final word is imminent.
Whitney and Bobbi.
In the latest about her condition,
Previous reports were coming out that Bobbi Kristina was showing signs of life. Requests for prayers from her family and friends (#PrayforBK on Twitter) may have been heeded from BK’s many fans. I have seen many tweets and posts about people around the world praying for Bobbi Kristina.
Here in this tweet Pete Carroll tries to explain his bone-headed play in the Super Bowl.
Why, Warren? Why?
No Smoking in New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — A NO SMOKING ban takes effect in 90 days in casinos and bars in New Orleans. Mayor Mitch Landrieu signed the ordinance today. Some smokers are not happy with the new rules.
NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — PLUS, I promised my readers to install segments of my 2015 New Orleans Mardi Gras experience. I wish that I had an old-school manual typewriter because that is what we used when I started writing as a “cub reporter” for newspapers in the Big Easy. Meanwhile, I have a question for alimentary canal experts. I want to know if the potency of jalapeno peppers is still “hot, hot, hot” once it passes through the intestines?
TMI??: At the movies yesterday, I used some of those theater jalapeno peppers on a personal pan pizza. My tongue and lips burned a “good” 15 minutes. Last night at home, my stomach started burning up. In the latrine, I had a blow-out from my posterior. My rear-end burned for 7 minutes. Do peppers maintain their potent heat even after going through the digestive tract? Is that even scientifically possible?
Where does the job of the digestive tract end (finito) after doing its job? In other words, what is the final destination of the digestive tract elements after the job is done?
Digestive track EXIT.
Also, I am sure that today we are all following the news about Bobbi Kristina Brown. This is so eerie!! She was found unconscious over the weekend in a bathtub very similarly to how her mother, Whitney Houston, was in 2012. As of this writing, she is still in an induced coma. Her family has been advised to expect the worst.
I have seen quite a few movies about the NAZI death camps, and read much about them. I will never get used to the horror. The world is honoring 70 years since the Russian army entered the Nazi Auschwitz death camp to end the German reign of death there. I keep all of those who suffered and died there in my prayers.
Sarah Palin For President
NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — I wish that Sarah Palin would run for president. It would make an interesting race.
I will play a salute on my trumpet to Sarah Palin. Hail to the chief!

Ferdie Surely Can Dance
Here is a picture of me dancing at the Bottom Line Beach Club outside of New Orleans. Do you see those excellent dance steps? I am truly CUTTING THE RUG.
Ferdie, you sure can dance!
Rosemary Church CNN
NEW ORLEANS (Gazette) — CNN anchorperson Rosemary Church “liked” my tweet below. I sent the tweet to her in response to her tweet reminding her fans that her show, CNN International, was upcoming. I am watching her show right now as I write. I was drawn to her show in the beginning because I was studying if it was broadcast from across the ocean. Her accent is so lovely that I googled to learn the history of her accent. I was surprised to discover that the show is actually broadcast from Atlanta.
In the photo below, I am seen performing Auld Lang Syne at the turn of midnight on New Year’s Eve. There are party-goers singing along with me as we bring in the new year.
Ferdie performing for fans.
