I told a class of Catholic seminarians that all the evil in the world was because of three things: Sports, politics, and religion. I was not invited back.In south east Louisiana, those three things are hopelessly mooshed together.If you don’t believe this comic, try this: Today, Nov 16, the noon news on the local (New Orleans area) station started with 5 minutes of Saints football. Then a quick mention of the Paris tragedy.“We have met the enemy, and he is us.” Walt Kelly’s Pogo, a very long time ago, paraphrasing a famous line by Commodore Perry. (I think it was Perry. Did not bother to look it up.)JE SUIS FRANCAIS.

And what’s really bad is that twice that many were killed in another country, but the media never reported it. I believe a lot of them were Muslim.

My local paper doesn’t even put national or world news on the front page, only local stuff. Sad.
