Good night, America, how are you?Well folks, it's official: Hell has frozen over. Solid.
Don't you know me I'm your native son,
I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans,
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.
-Steve Goodman
The City of New Orleans (1970)
The perennial underdogs of the NFL, the New Orleans Saints, have won the Super Bowl. It's a good thing they rebuilt the city stronger after Hurricane Katrina, because this will be the longest and wildest Mardi Gras ever!
We are trav'ling in the footsteps
Of those who've gone before,
And we'll all be reunited,
On a new and sunlit shore,
Oh, when the Saints go marching in,
Oh, when the Saints go marching in,
Lord, how I want to be in that number,
When the Saints go marching in!
-When The Saints Go Marching In
Traditional Southern Gospel Song
(Little-known fact about me: I'm a big fan of Dixieland Jazz!)

Yay! Go Saints!
I love New Orleans, and Drew Brees was the starting quarterback for Purdue the same 4 years I was there. Course, living in Bloomington now means I have to look at downtrodden faces on all the college kids today.
...so it's like icing on the cake! (I am a horrible person)
Schadenfreude FTW!!
