Quote of The Day

Masked riders in the parades have long used the opportunity to mock the ruling class and government officials, said Mardi Gras expert Arthur Hardy.

Arthur Hardy is "nationally recognized as a premiere authority on Mardi Gras in New Orleans". And, he has "worked with" journalists from prestigious organizations such as CNN and USA Today. Can there be a more authoritative voice from someone who apparently holds no advanced academic degrees? So, when Mr. Hardy speaks of the ruling class, we know that the time is ripe for a real revolution beyond Mardi Gras.
