Who’s News In New Orleans Escorts.

A popular video on YouTube spoofs Cleveland tourism, proclaiming, “We’re Not Detroit.” That’s the truth. With one of the highest rates of unemployment and crime in America, Detroit will truly foster a real world for cast-members. Producers can set them up in a huge house for cheap, due to collapsing real estate, and watch them flounder for employment. For good times, there are always great rock shows and parties in abandoned buildings.
Portland, Oregon
Surprisingly, MTV has never set a season in this hip city full of young people. Maybe it’s because Portlanders would hate it. Known for liberal activism, locals would protest in front of the house and actively hate ‘The Real World’ cast. They’ll be shown the ugly side of fame first. Plus, the unemployment rate is around 12 percent. The only likely jobs will be at a book store or strip club. Portland has the highest number per capita of both in the United States. Which cast member will go where?

At last report BP was making progress on the relief wells that are being drilled to plug the runaway well in the Gulf. The London Times reports that BP hopes to penetrate the casing of the leaking well and start pumping in well-sealing mud in about two weeks. Let’s hope something works.
In the next few weeks, or if things do not go well, perhaps months, the leaking well will be plugged, fishing hopefully will resume, the tourists will return, and the whole matter will be left to lawyers who will spend decades arguing how much New Orleans strip clubs that lost business during the oil spill should be remunerated by BP.
Someday, however, it will become apparent that the real disaster is taking place 150 miles to the south at BP’s multi-billion dollar Thunder Horse oil platform that was supposed to extract a billion barrels of oil at a rate of 250,000 barrels a day (b/d). Production at Thunder Horse began in May of 2008 …

Get ready for some Southern-style hospitality and serious socializing (read: hard partying), because the ‘Real World’ is back, y’all, and it’s headed for New Orleans.
The 24th season of MTV’s long-running reality show premieres Wednesday, June 30 (10PM ET) with a new cast of eight young adults thrown together in a big, fancy house for a few months of fun, volunteering, self-exploration and countless nights of carousing. And New Orleans, take two, might just be a comeback for ‘The Real World,’ which has seen ratings and interest drop in recent seasons.
This season’s crop of housemates is a diverse bunch from across the country, including a hockey enthusiast from Wisconsin, a liberal Muslim from Michigan, a self-made Bostonian and a surprisingly progressive Mississippi native who also enjoys strutting her stuff in so-called “stripper heels.” Among the rowdy lot are firebrands and peacemakers, pretty girls and rambunctious guys.

April, when BP’s ‘Deepwater Horizon’ oil rig blew up, killing 11 crew member. The US Government are angry because the rig did not have proper measures installed, and had malfunctioning equipment that was not repaired, so  thousands of barrels per day have since leaked from the snapped pipe beneath the destroyed oil rig. What the USA are also annoyed about is the fact that the rig did not have a cut off valve on the pipe, so that when the pipe to the rig snapped, oil was free to pump out into the Gulf of Mexico, even though US law does not say that such equipment is necessary, which is the case in all European oil drilling nations. The two nations, which for the past century have been about as separable, in the immortal words of Edward Blackadder, as “a Frenchman living next to a brothel”, have fallen out hugely over the disaster. It seems that somehow, us giving America a ‘thousand barrels per day’ of black gold, is wrong! I suppose it is quite like a homeless man throwing an oil drum full of pound coins at Bill Gates!

BP said on Monday its spending to cap the well, clean up the spill and compensate those affected had accelerated to $100 million a day, bringing the total so far to $2.65 billion.
The company has set up a $20 billion compensation fund under U.S. government pressure.
Kenneth Feinberg, the independent administrator of the fund, has said it made “absolutely no sense” to drive BP into bankruptcy, while promising to streamline the claims process and even let some victims file online.
BP’s earlier handling of compensation on its own came under fire as unduly bureaucratic and time-consuming.
Feinberg expressed doubt on Monday that compensation could stretch as far as a New Orleans strip club that says it has lost business because the fishermen who are its customers are out of work due to the spill.

… Les Abrahams, who had led BP’s successful bid for oil rights in Azerbaijan stated publicly that line item expenditures on BP’s books were not what they seemed, according to the Armand’s Bistro class action. “According to Mr. Abrahams, BP allocated a budget of £45 million to cover costs for Azerbaijani operations which involved alcohol and prostitutes. According to Mr. Abrahams, ‘The BP officials would come out to Baku in groups of five or six, every week. Sometimes I would charter an entire Boeing 757 to carry as few as seven staff.’ Their main base was the hard currency bar of the old Intourist hotel … It was full of prostitutes and many of us, including me, used them on a regular bases, although we quickly established they all worked for the KGB.’ Similar allegations were raised alleging that BP was involved in bribing government officials in Kazakhstan for oil rights,” according to the Armand’s Bistro complaint.

Reggie Bush initially didn’t want to come to New Orleans
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on June 28, 2010 10:28 AM ET
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Reggie Bush laudably embraced New Orleans, donating plenty of money and time to recovery efforts.
That doesn’t mean he initially wanted any part of the Crescent City.
In Sean Payton’s newly released memoir Home Team, the Saints coach passes along the story of Bush’s marketing agent, Mike Ornstein, telling Payton not to draft Bush in 2006 because, “This kid doesn’t want to come there.”
Payton’s priceless response: “[Expletive] you.”
[In the meantime, Ornstein parted ways with Bush and became close with Payton.  He's now helping to pimp the book.  Which is perhaps why Payton felt comfortable sharing the story.]
That quote is one of ten that the New Orleans Times-Picayune pulled from the book.  Payton apparently does a mean Bill Belichick imitation and had the following to say about his decision to sit his starters in Week Seventeen last year: “What if we get our ass beat?”
