A reporter from First Things reporting from New Orleans

Update I think this was the Le Krewe d'Etat... I will try to find pics of the other funny floats mentioned

Update II- Ok 13 pages of pics here. I will do a another post with these pics
Update III Heck I am not posting all those :) The William Jefferson , Vitter/Edwards/ Gov of SC, Nagin, and Tiger Woods floats are funny. See link above
