Mudbug Superfan’s Seven Deadly Sins

After this sudden end to Mudbug hockey post-season, fans are left wondering. “ Why?” How could this have happened, some ask. Some changed their hair color. Some wore their lucky shirt. Some didn’t change their underwear (subject of a future post). Some said was it karma.

Do not despair, Mudbug fans, you are not the cause. My friend, whom I shall refer to as “Mudbug Superbadfan”, offered his confession:


"Mudbug fans, it is all my fault. I committed the seven deadly sins, which sentenced me, and you along with me, to an off-season of fan purgatory

First, I Mudbug Superbadfan was lustful of the Bugs, wearing their game worn jerseys, clawing for their attention, and seeing their half naked bodies in the videos.

I was gluttonous too. Gluttony is the over-indulgence and overconsumtion of anything to the point of waste. Yup the Bugs won too many games and I wanted more. Way more than the Bugs needed.

Next I was greedy. Not content with a possible President’s Cup, I wanted a division championship and the Governor’s Cup too. I wanted every referee’s call, every bounce, every decision, to go the Bugs way.

Now I am slothful. I suffer melancholy, apathy, depression, and joylessness in which I am left until next season. Sloth is a refusal to enjoy the goodness of God and the world He created. Maybe next year I can accept what was granted with joy.

Before I was slothful, I raged in anger and wrath. Those uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger accomplish no good unless I had really wanted to kick a hole in the door.

Now I am left full of envy for that championship that the fans of some rival team will enjoy and celebrate without me.

Which leads me to pride, the deadliest of the seven sins. As a Mudbug fan I wanted to be more important than fans of other teams. I would be more important than them and wouldn’t have to congratulate them."


Next year if Mudbug Superbadfan will practice the seven holy virtues of chastity, temperence, charity, diligence, forgiveness, kindness, and humility perhaps the Mudbugs will have a better end to their postseason. For sure whatever happens, Mudbug Superbadfan will have a much brighter off season.

Reinventing Downtown

The Downtown Development Agency, the City, and many others want to revitalize downtown Shreveport and make it into a vibrant community. Although no step-by-step process has been developed as yet, many enhancements and improvements have already been made or are in the works to make downtown a more attractive place for people to gather in a constructive manner. It may even become a desirable place for people to reside someday. Before that can happen though, Shreveport must first admit that mistakes have been made. Then efforts must begin now to correct them.

The mistaken vision of councils and administrations past to make Shreveport’s downtown into an adult entertainment district lacked prudent foresight. Adult entertainment districts and vibrant downtowns, like cats and dogs living together peacefully, only occur in rare circumstances. Visit great cities, visit growing cities, visit thriving cities and you will not find bars open until 6 AM nor will you find the oxymoronic gentlemen’s clubs You will find those in decaying, dying downtowns however.

With the adult entertainment district came the perception of unbridled crime that threatens downtown. So much of that crime and perception of crime would disappear if the bars closed at 2 AM or earlier. Even the riverboat casinos, which know better than anyone about the dark side of human behavior, realize they are better off closing their bars at 2 AM.

Drinking late at night and early into the morning does nothing to promote the best in people, does nothing to promote public safety, and does nothing to promote our welfare. No one has been able to show me any evidence of positive growth that the adult entertainment district has engendered.

Bossier City and Shreveport pursued two quite dissimilar courses in developing their waterfront. The results gave us two quite dissimilar outcomes The Boardwalk is a thriving and expanding success. Not so the Red River District and its extensions into downtown Shreveport.

Its time for the powers that be to take the steps necessary to create a more positive atmosphere that will draw more people and investment downtown. The history of the Red River District proves that adult entertainment has the opposite effect.

Extreme Conservatives Acting Very UnReagan

The swelling of temper tantrums by Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham and the like really shows a profound immaturity, lack of thoughtful analysis, is loose with factual information, offensive, personal, and worst of all --- very UnReagan.

These people seem to hold themselves up as the standard bearer for one of our greatest presidents, Ronald Reagan. However, in their rabid furor over John McCain, who's worst offense seems to be he hasn't kissed their collective ideological butts, they are blantently breaking what Ronald Reagan called the eleventh commandment. "Thou shall not speak ill of your fellow Republican." Shame on Rush et al for their heresy.

There are McCain votes and positions I would not agree with and there is alot to like in the other Republican candidates. There are even positions worth considering from the Dem candidates. However, McCain has voted his conscience and has been willing to consider changes in position when circumstances warrant. I believe that's called thinking (remember Rush - words do have meaning).

The voters will vote for someone Republican or Democrat they think will best lead this country. The extreme conservative talkers need to heed Reagan and consider the same instead of worshiping themselves while dishonoring Ronald Reagan in the process.

Unwelcome Visitors are Crossing My Borders

There are increasing numbers of unwelcome visitors crossing into my territory. They come uninvited without regard to our rules. They reap the benefits of the bounty intended for others without earning the privilege.

I promise you that putting up fences at my southern border will not deter this relentless influx. I've even tried shooting a few of them but still they come. I could set up a needlessly bureaucratic and inefficient process to document them but that would only invite lawlessness. I suppose it would be possible for me to document their presence in an efficient way and appreciate their value. Perhaps this would be the key to addressing the true root cause of an immigration issue.

Meanwhile, the unwelcome visitors pour into my territory. Darn those squirrels.
