This year, floats included Anna Nicole Smith (&#8220;The Queen of Cups&#8221;), the Orleans Parish School Board (&#8220;The Seven Pentacles\/Failure&#8221;), Donald Trump (&#8220;The King of Cups&#8221;), Dick Cheney (&#8220;The Hermit&#8221;), and more. Along with the floats, they provide a &#8220;procession guide&#8221; that describes each float. Their words about the float above (&#8220;The Emperor&#8221;): &#8220;Though he looked like a goner several months back, he has retained the throne of the Empire. Job creation is low &#8211; no problem. Iraq&#8217;s a mess &#8211; no problem. Everyone said he lost the debates &#8211; no problem. He has a big belt buckle and he shares the values of those red state people. Thank goodness Karl snuck that microphone up his suit. Four more years of Texas swagger.&#8221;  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hello.com\/\" target=\"ext\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/pbh.gif\" alt=\"Posted by Hello\" style=\"border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;\" align=\"middle\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A float from Krewe D&#8217;Etat.
