More precisely: Louisiana’s absolute insurance mess. Check out Sam Karlin’s story. No go on the lake: The Mandeville City Council spent several more hours Tuesday night debating Sucette Harbor, the controversial apartment-hotel-commercial-marina plan pitched for some lakefront land. In the end, the council took a big vote. Burning man at Burning Man: Doug MacCash catches us up today on the adventures of a New Orleans artist who brought a three-story buffalo sculpture to the Burning Man festival/campout/washout in the Nevada desert. It’s not the first time artist Walker Babington has worked with fire, Doug writes. New Saints leg: The Saints have a new kicker this year – and, well, he looks a bit like the kid next door.
