In just one year, Cleveland went from the poorest city in the U.S. to the 12th poorest (in a tie with the now-beleaguered New Orleans). City officials quoted in this article actually seem a little disappointed not to be at the top of that list any more.
I don't know. Maybe I'm confusing disbelief with disappointment.
At least Red Meat is hilarious today.

That's sad. It took the worst weather related tragedy in U.S. history for Cleveland to catch New Orleans, where 30% of the population believes that a bag of toenails can help your love life.
I own a Mojo bag, that I bought in New Orleans. It sits over the door to my bedroom, as that is listed as an alternative place to put it. It bestows a certain kind of luck on those that enter.
Otherwise you have to wear it below your waist and out of site. Thus all the sexual organ related slang associated with the Mojo.
I've never heard of toenails. It's mostly herbs, stones, and oils. You're not supposed to let someone else look into the bag, as that can dispell the charm.
Damn. I bought it in the French Quarter, too. That store to whose webpage you've linked could easily be the same place. There aren't (weren't?) all that many.
And Kofno, I'd say the Mojo is undeniably cool after all the references it receives from ancient blues singers. You should get on board.
