The Loyola Institute of Politics annual Ed Renwick Lecture will feature a very timely national topic — upheaval at DOJ — viewed from the perspectives of former local U.S. Attorneys Ken Polite & Harry Rosenberg.

My mom loved Mardi Gras & football. She got a thrill out of watching parades, whether in person or on TV. She lived to be 97 & would have been 99 years old today, and she woulda loved Super Bowl in Nola during Mardi Gras season. Happy Birthday & rest in love, Mamere! ♥️🙏🏼

I’m in Los Angeles in the middle of a great disaster. It feels the same way it did 20 years ago in New Orleans. Pray for us. The lesson learned from back then and today: love those around you and create loving memories. They will sustain you in difficult times. They will fuel your restoration, recovery and resilience. Also, tragedy is defined by how you respond to it. Not how it defeats you. We will rebuild our right of self determination.

This is your chance to have your voice heard on critical matters including expanding the Judiciary Commission, changing the way lawmakers vote on spending taxpayer money, and revising the system for the state to collect delinquent property taxes.

Important to remember what Obama had to say about Silicon Valley getting involved in government

Only in New Orleans can I top off an awesome 70th birthday dinner with my wife, sons and daughters in law by running into classic a capella singers Jay-Ray and Gee on Royal Street — and they sing me Happy Birthday as only they can. No place like New Orleans. 🎵🎼🎶♥️

With only minutes to go before early voting ends, the line at the Lake Vista Community Center polling station in New Orleans is longer than I’ve ever seen it.

@ShebaTurk sums up perfectly how special Eric was — and how much fun he was to joust with on the Morning Show. He was one of a kind, and I feel blessed to have worked with him.

[Sheba Turk @ShebaTurk]

My heart is broken. My friend Eric has lost his battle with cancer 💔

I was just 22 years old when I met Eric. I had just joined WWL to write his scripts (that’s how we started fighting lol) …not long after I was coanchoring the morning show with him.

Eric and I really fought from the day we met lol! And as crazy as it sounds. it made us closer.
I only show anger with people I really trust- when I feel safe to show my true emotions. And with Eric we could fight and debate and go at it … and then we would be crying laughing minutes later. I always liked to think I was his karma for teasing and messing with people so much.

Eric showed me more than anyone I’ve ever met that you should ALWAYS show up as YOU and if someone doesn’t like it, too bad for them. He taught me that life is to be lived. Don’t hold back… eat, drink, dance (even if it is off beat), laugh, get into some trouble, make mistakes, piss people off, and most importantly - love hard … and show up for the people you love. Eric always encouraged me. And he would cry before I did when I was hurt or grieving (He was a big softie).

The past few years of my life have been filled with goodbyes and grief. So I’ve learned a few things. When you lose a loved one, the pain of their absence never goes away but the beautiful thing is they are never fully gone. You hear their voice in certain situations. You can feel the exact moments they would have been laughing with you. Life is hard and I’ve learned to be grateful for the people who make the day to day more bearable, more enjoyable… who make you feel that it matters if you’re in this world- because in the past few years, I’ve needed that alot. Every moment Eric and I were together was an adventure - whether we were fussing or laughing and I’m so glad we got to share that with so many of you on TV.
I am sad for his wife and children please pray for them.

My Goldilocks, my Pretty P, my partner in crime,
Thank you for teaching me a life that well lived is a life where you fight to laugh …and laugh … and laugh some more …sometimes even while you’re crying

Friends forever
